MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
Good Time to Plan for Autumn
Fall is the perfect season for planning and meetings. And with the back-to-school feeling that September brings, I am inspired to research what courses are being offered. Our industry is very rich in opportunities for continuing education and training. The new Canadian Electrical Code is about to be adopted and this is a nice opportunity for all of us to stay informed, improve or refresh our knowledge. This week, our expert on Codes and Standards, Pierre McDonald, talks about some of the most important changes to the Code and their impact on many installations.
Happy reading!
