Special thanks to event organizers who put together an incredible event, and to all of our sponsors who provided funds and support.

National Capital Lighting Library Moves East

The library is now located at the new Energy Ottawa Offices at 1145 Hunt Club, suite 220. Borrowers first view and reserve available titles by visiting our online library area and browsing the available publications list. You will need your membership number and a password to borrow publications.

The National Capital Lighting Library is now available to area members. This exciting rebirth of a much needed section resource will make IESNA publications available to members. Other publications will also be added from time to time. The library will be indespensible for those studying for their LC certification, or for thoseworking on a project and in need of up-to-date information.

Section Looking for Old Photos and Documents

As part of our committment in the upcoming centennial celebrations, the National Capital Section is asking all members to look for any old photo's of people from the IES's past, or from old projects which you may have been involved with. We'd like to scan these and include them in a centennial book of IES history. In addition, any information related to the city's history over the past 100 years would also be appreciated. You will get any originals back. If you have anything that might help with this project, please contact Bob Bridges
