DESCRIPTION:IEEE has a [Milestone Program](https://ethw.org/Milestones:IEEE
 _Milestones_Program#IEEE_Milestones) to recognize and commemorate signific
 ant technological events in the IEEE fields of interest. IEEE Canada's His
 tory Committee has obtained approval for a Milestone for the TransCanada M
 icrowave System (TCMS) which began operation in 1958. It is not difficult 
 to argue that no other single engineering achievement of the past century 
 has had a greater impact on Canada\, its society\, and its economy\, and\,
  indeed\, individual Canadians.\n\nCommemorative plaques will be located i
 n most Region 7 sections at facilities associated with the TCMS. While Lon
 don wasn't on the original route\, it was connecting a few years later and
  a plaque is scheduled to be dedicated at 725 Colborne St (Bell Canada's L
 ONDON Colborne CO) which was the site of the TCMS in London. Thank you to 
 Bell Canada for organizing the event and placing the plaques.\n\nThe dedic
 ation is 1:00 on Sept 12 and is open to the public. Registration to attend
  is optional but will help us to plan for the number of attendees. Weather
  permitting\, we willl have cake and coffee for mingling time after the de
 dication\n\nA short heritage minute video is available at https://www.hist
 oricacanada.ca/content/heritage-minutes/le-reseau\n\nThe wording of the pl
 aque and a write up from the Spring 2022 IEEE Canadian Review are attached
  in the Media section below.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Bell Canada\n\nAgenda: \n
