Review of War Museum Tour
by Bruce Meiklejohn
On Thursday June 2nd, the IES group met for our final
lunch of the season at the scenic Mill Restaurant, followed
by an informative tour of the new Canadian War Museum.
The agenda featured presentations to two teams of Algonquin
College Interior Design students who were recognized for
their creative efforts on a luminaire design. Melina Craig,
their instructor, awarded them prizes bestowed by Vincent
Roy of Philips Lighting and our National Capital Section,
and congratulated them. A door prize was awarded compliments
of Waterman Sales. The winner, Michel Campbell graciously
received the beautiful pen set. Very outgoing President,
Bob Bridges, passed the torch to incoming President, Guy
Brunet, with special words in closing.
Crossey Engineering led two groups on the tour throughout
the Museum giving insight into rationale for certain decisions,
as well as hidden meanings of various elements present
in the building. For many tour-goers it was their first
experience of this newly-opened building and the information
imparted was integral to this experience. I’m sure
all present departed with a strong sense of the intentions
and resolutions of this building.
Many thanks to Crossey Engineering for their efforts
and time, to Waterman Sales for their generous door prize
contribution, and to Vincent Roy and Philips Lighting
for their support of the Algonquin College lighting design
award.
See you on the 23rd.
IES Centennial Committee
The IESNA turns 100 on January 10th 2006 and our section
has been working at
ways in which to mark this important milestone while fulfilling
the
Society's goal of community outreach. Centennial chair,
Melina Craig and her
committee have been developing plans for several activities
expected to take
place this winter and spring. Watch your IES newsletters
for more details
about a Light Art Exhibition and Cocktail, and a Christmas
Lighting Contest.
Your participation in centennial activities will help
our section and the
Society strengthen its role as The Lighting Authority.
National Capital Section Lending Library
Once again, this year, the National Capital Section will
be operating our lending library for IES members. There
have been some new publications added to the collection,
including the reference texts recommended for LC exam
participants, as well as some updated RP's. The new publications
are presently being catalogued before moving them to the
library's location at Energy Ottawa's offices situated
at 1145 Hunt Club Road, Suite 220. You can browse available
titles by visiting ottawa.iesna.net/library.
IESNA Publications
The IESNA produces over 100 varied publications on various
lighting topics. While the comprehensive "Lighting
Handbook" may be the most well known and most often
referred to of these publications, the series of Recommended
Practices, Design Guides, and various technical publications
can prove invaluable to someone working on a specific
project and in need of additional guidance. IESNA publications
are available individually for purchase through the society
website located at www.iesna.org. If you are serious about
lighting, then you may want to obtain the entire collection
by upgrading your membership to a subscribing membership,
or consider a sustaining membership for your company.
Subscribing members receive the entire IES library with
their first year's dues and receive updated publications
automatically whenever they are first issued. Sustaining
members also receive the entire library with updates as
well as contribute to the ongoing activities of the Society.
Either way, you will always be confident that you are
referencing the most up-to-date information available.
For more information about the different forms of membership,

Remember that prices that appear on the Society's web
pages are stated in US dollars.
IIDA
The International Illumination Design Awards program
of the IESNA provides a unique opportunity for public
recognition of professionalism, ingenuity, and originality
in lighting design. It is not a competition, but an awards
program whose winners are selected according to how well
the design meets specific criteria.
The National Capital section is pleased to announce that
Gabriel/design has received an Award of Merit for the
University of Ottawa SITE (School of Information Technology
& Engineering) building. Philip Gabriel and Andrew
Mackinnon are the designers on the award winning project.
Congratulations to this Gabriel/design team! The award
will be presented at the IESNA Centennial Conference in
New York, January 8-10, 2006.
