Message From The Editor

Managing Editor, Line Goyette The art of reinventing ourselves, and innovating in the workplace too

I recently read a comment in a European newspaper that I found very relevant. It was written that, to constantly reinvent ourselves, we have to be innovative, even with an object as banal as a lightbulb. When I review the award-winning projects selected this year by IES' British Columbia Section, which we present to you in this issue, I think that indeed the lightbulb has come a long way over the last 100 years. The economic impact resulting from the development of this product — so simple in its early days — are also touched on in this issue. Good reading!
