Rob Anderson - Position Statement (excerpt)

The biggest challenge facing IEEE is its membership base.  IEEE Canada must continue to explore ways to attract new membership and retain existing members. Members and non-members need to perceive a value in belonging to IEEE.  This can be achieved through the following: carry out a review of the regions current service offerings to its members to ensure they are delivered as efficiently and effectively as they can be, expand IEEE Canada ties with other technical and non technical societies, and perhaps reviewing of existing affiliations to better benefit IEEE.  Finally, the region needs to strengthen it ties with other IEEE entities (sections, chapters and technical societies) by co-sponsoring or developing activities at the local level.

The Vancouver Sydney Mines Receives IEEE Milestone Award for First Transatlantic Telephone Cable

Sydney Mines has received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Milestone Award in recognition of the technical breakthrough it achieved in participating in the first transatlantic telephone cable (TAT-1).

 

At the official award presentation ceremony which took place on Wednesday, May 30, presentations were given by IEEE Historian Jerry Hayes, IEEE Past President Wally Read, and IEEE Region 7 (Canada) Director-Elect Ferial El-Hawary. Speeches were made by the Deputy Mayor, Mr. Gordon MacLeod representing His Worship, John Morgan, Mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Clarence Prince, Councillor for Sydney Mines, and Mr. David McRury, Executive Assistant to the Honorable Mark Eyking, Member of Parliament for Sydney-Victoria..

 

The presentation ceremony took place at the Sydney Mines Heritage Museum, and was followed by a reception at the Cape Breton University's Multi-Purpose Room. Both of these historic events were open to the public and were attended by more than 40 individuals from the Sydney area..

 

 

IEEE Milestone Award

Eligible IEEE Milestones must be significant achievements at least 25 years old involving a unique solution to an engineering problem and must have had a major regional impact at least. Since the program was established in 1983, the IEEE has awarded only 60 Milestones, although it has received applications from around the world.

DISTINGUISHED LECTURER TOUR NOVEMBER 6-8TH AND NOVEMBER 28-29TH

 

Prepared by: Dawn Nedohin-Macek, P. ENG.

Past Winnipeg Section Chair

IEEE Winnipeg Section

 

During the fall of 2006, the Winnipeg Section Chair, Dawn Nedohin-Macek coordinated with the Western Area chair, Dave Kemp, and Western Area Section Chairs to bring Dr. Michael Neuman on a cross Canada tour. Janet Wheatley, of the Winnipeg Section provided assistance coordinating the finances.

 

Dr. Michael Neuman is a Distinguished Lecturer from the Engineers in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). His lecture, “Miniature Biomedical Sensors: An Emergent technology for Biomedical Research”, introduced examples of miniature biomedical sensors developed by Dr. Neuman, his students and colleagues. He discussed how they function in biologic environments and examine the biologic and engineering issues encountered in their use.

 

Dr. Neuman received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. Degrees in Electrical Engineering from Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland, Ohio in 1961, 1963 and 1966 respectively. In 1974 he was also awarded the M.D. Degree from Case Western Reserve University. He has served as guest professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the University of Zurich, Switzerland in 1980 and was the Lilly Visiting Professor at the Engineering Research Center for Emerging Cardiovascular Technologies at Duke University in 1990. Currently, Dr. Neuman is the Department Chair of the Biomedical Engineering Faculty at Michigan Tech.

His research includes physiological measurements, perinatal medicine, and the

development and use of miniature sensors and instrumentation for use in clinical

medicine and life science research. His work in biotelemetry led him to become the

President of the International Society on Biotelemetry from 1984-1988. He also served as editor in chief of the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering for over seven years and several biomedical engineering journals.

 

The tour was scheduled to make stops in six western Canadian cities over two separate weeks. This included Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina on November 6, 7, and 8 respectively and Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria on November 27, 28 and 29 respectively. Due to weather, the trip to Victoria was cancelled and Dr. Neuman

returned home early.

 

Dr. Neuman’s trip to Winnipeg to visit the Winnipeg Section included a luncheon with professors and IEEE Winnipeg Section executive, a tour of the biomedical facilities and nanofabrication laboratories and a presentation to 29 student EMBS members and students at the University of Manitoba. He then gave a presentation to 59 IEEE members and guests.

 

Dr. Neuman then traveled to Saskatoon to visit the North Saskatchewan Section. His presentation was well received by 33 IEEE members and 19 guests.

Dr. Neuman then traveled to Regina to visit the South Saskatchewan Section by rented car. His reception there was during a luncheon and was received by 10 IEEE members and 20 guests at the University of Regina.

 

The second half of Dr. Neuman’s cross Canada tour started in Calgary, where he visited the Southern Alberta section. His presentation there was well received by xx attendees.

 

Dr. Neuman then traveled on to Vancouver to present at the University of British

Columbia. During a particularly cold storm (-30C!) he visited Dr. Ranggayyan at the

University of Calgary, went out for dinner, and then presented to 25 people. Many

people left early because of the bad weather, but there were many interesting questions posed to him after the event.

 

Due to a severe winter storm, Dr. Neuman was not able to travel on to Victoria, and

instead returned home.

 

We were able to coordinate the event with local EMBS chapters and student chapters in Winnipeg and Vancouver, and funding was provided by the Canadian Western Area and EMBS.

Ø     Obituary

Winnipeg Free Press

CYRIL HOPPER (published on June 12, 2007)

 

 

CYRIL HOPPER Survivor of H.M.C.S. Weyburn The Hopper family sadly announces the passing of their dearly loved husband, father, grandfather and brother at Fred Douglas Personal Care Home, June 10, 2007. Cy, aged 87, predeceased by father Albert and mother Adelaide Hopper; brothers, Albert and David, and sister Evelyn, will be dearly missed by his wife of 58 years, Rosalie; sons, Jim, Bill and Gordon (Wanda); grandsons, Benjamin and Jody, and granddaughter Jessie; sister Peggy (Harold) Colburn, and numerous nieces and nephews.

 

Cy was born November 16, 1919 in Winnipeg and after his marriage in 1949, lived in East Kildonan until moving to Fred Douglas in 2004. He joined the Manitoba Telephone System in 1948, enjoying his work as a radio installer in Northern Manitoba, and a team leader in microwave site selection across Manitoba. He retired in 1981. Cy served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1940 to 1945. His knowledge of Morse Code enabled him to serve as Petty Officer leading telegrapher on the H.M.C.S. Weyburn, from her maiden voyage until her loss outside of Gibraltar in 1943. H.M.C.S. Loch Morlich served as Cy's home until his return to Canada in 1945. Cy enjoyed the outdoors, taking up camping as a young boy and later sharing his love of nature with his wife and sons. The family spent many happy summers in their cottage on Long Pine Lake at Ingolf, Ontario. Cy enjoyed skiing, canoeing, back-packing in the Canadian Rockies and Hawaii, and cycling in France. The family wishes to thank the staff at Fred Douglas for their compassionate care and understanding during Cy's final years.

 

A memorial service will be held June 13, 1:00 p.m. at Immanuel United Church, Kimberley and Golspie Avenue, with Nancy Saunders officiating. Reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Winnipeg Humane Society or Fred Douglas Personal Care Home. Thanks for the loving years you gave us The happy times we shared We all pray that when you left us You knew how much we cared. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.

 

CYRIL HOPPER was Chair of the IEEE Winnipeg Section 1957/8
