Thomas Abriel was born in Pope’s Harbour, Nova Scotia, in July 1867. While young, he learned the pulp mill trade. This workplace damaged his health; and he came to British Columbia to prospect for gold. Abriel arrived in Nakusp, on the Arrow Lakes of the Columbia River System in British Columbia, in 1892. Showing his entrepreneurial nature, he started by cutting firewood for steamboats on the lake, and hung paper for a hotel that was under construction. Later endeavours included having a news

Story by: Beth Robertson Faith Fyles, B.A. (1875-1961) was a professional botanist in early twentieth-century Canada. Fyles had been educated at McGill, where she studied under Professor Carrie Derick—another exceptional woman botanist who no doubt inspired Fyles to pursue a career in the field. In 1910, Fyles obtained employment as an assistant seed analyst with the federal Department of Agriculture, a job characterized as “women’s work” at the time. She transferred to the Central Experimental

Research Rocket: Investigating the Upper Atmosphere The Black Brant was Canada’s first research rocket. Its versatility and dependability made it a NASA favourite. The Black Brant rocket established Canada’s Space program and developed Canadian expertise in upper-atmosphere testing. Researchers use rockets to study ionospheric phenomena, especially the Aurora Borealis (or northern lights), and their effect on high-frequency radio communications. They are launched into the ionosphere, where their

Barometer: recording Canada's highest elevation

This barometer is an aneroid type: an aneroid is a flexible metal chamber partially evacuated of air that is sensitive to changing air pressure. It can be used to record altitude as air pressure decreases with vertical distance from sea level. In climbing Mount Logan, expedition members identified Canada’s highest peak and helped to refine aneroid barometers as a tool for GSC surveyors. This barometer recorded the elevation of Canada’s highest mountain during a 1925 mountaineering expedition and

Charles Richter filed for a patent for his electric lamp improvements in March of 1915 and was granted Patent Number 163252 in June, 2015. Richter was an electrical worker from the Corporation of the District of Fraser Mills, a small municipality on the shores of the Fraser River that would later be amalgamated with the District of Coquitlam, B.C. Richter’s invention was designed to provide “a simple, inexpensive and effective reflector…that will disperse the light from a group of incandescent

Nobel Prize Winning Discovery Frederick Banting shared the 1923 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the discovery of insulin with fellow Canadian John Macleod. After serving in the First World War as a doctor, Banting became interested in diabetes. He focused on the potential for tapping the pancreas’ internal secretions to help people with diabetes regulate their blood-sugar levels — since they cannot metabolize carbohydrates, their blood sugar rises to life-threatening levels. Banting asked Macleod, a

Nobel Prize Winning Research In 1994, Canadian Bertram Brockhouse and American Clifford Shull shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for their separate development of neutron-scattering techniques, which enabled the study of matter at the atomic level. Critical Tool in Physics and Chemistry Brockhouse developed a method known as inelastic neutron scattering that, similar to Shull’s, relied on analyzing how neutrons scattered after they were beamed through a material. These techniques revealed key

North America’s First Electron Microscope The sub-microscopic world became visible in 1938 when Canadian graduate students Albert Prebus and James Hillier revealed North America’s first electron microscope. With a 20,000-power magnification, the microscope transcended the limits of light-based microscopy and brought otherwise invisible structures and objects into sharp focus. A massive discovery on a microscopic level Prebus and Hillier were members of the University of Toronto’s physics
