Have you ever gone to one of our AGMs or other trade shows and marvelled at the new innovations, tools, and cutting-edge technology that would no doubt make your job quicker, more efficient, and yield better results? Well, in the mid-1970s, one of those cutting-edge innovations was the Lambert “Twin” Tower.
Prior to the development of the Lambert Tower, measurements between control points for the purposes of establishing and densifying horizontal control in remote areas, and sometimes also in urban areas, would have required the construction on site of wood towers or heavy steel towers, which for obvious reasons would have been very time consuming due to the amount of labour involved with sourcing, transporting, and finally assembling these towers. Physical control points located in remote areas were typically located on difficult-to-access, often heavily treed hilltops, particularly in Northern Ontario and Northern Manitoba.
The pathway we take on Canada Day 2022 shines a light on people in Canada, as well as on Canadian diversity, inclusion and youth. Wherever you are, take part in July 1 activities and celebrate what makes you proud!
