Snow Goggles

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The answer from the world around them. Anyone who has walked across a snow-covered field on a sunny day can attest to the blinding intensity of the glare. Today, we quickly slip on our Ray-Bans or Oakleys. The Inuit people of Canada’s North had no such luxury. For an answer to snow blindness, they looked to the world around them. Taking a piece of antler or bone, usually from a caribou, the Inuit carved a long slit through it – wide enough to give its wearer the ability to see but narrow enough

It is a beautiful edifice, combining modern architectural themes with traditional Newfoundland constructional elements, providing travelers with a respite from today’s hectic world. It is also the basis for a unique business model: taking a small, almost quaint Newfoundland coastal town and making the community itself – its people, culture and environment - the main attraction for visitors. Perched

Matthew Sheridan: Nix Color Sensor

Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation

The ability to match, formulate, correct and control the quality of colour is a vital function in many industries including textiles, cosmetics, computer imaging, commercial paints and graphic design. Traditionally, every colour measurement method, from spectrophotometers to fans of paint colours, has been costly, difficult to transport and largely inaccurate due to varying light conditions and human error. Matthew Sheridan came up with the idea for a ping pong ball-sized colour sensor after

Frank Bouchard: Wipebook

Ernest C. Manning Awards Foundation

Frank Bouchard recognized the need for a low-tech solution to a common problem – giving learners and creators erasability. His Wipebook invention is a reusable, recyclable dry erase paper notebook that allows users to create, solve, erase and start again.

Artisan bakers prefer Red Fife due to its purity (no GMO), wholesome, nutty taste, milling qualities and nutritious taste. Why is Red Fife Wheat important? Agriculture

St. Catharines Museum

Louis Scicluna was born in 1808 to Therese and Joseph Scicluna on the island of Malta. Joseph was a dockyard worker, and both him and Therese encouraged their son to attend school and achieve good grades. Louis, however, showed no interest in academics and faired poorly in class. Afraid that his son would not find a career, Joseph Scicluna took his son Louis to the shipyard in hopes that Louis would develop an interest in becoming a shipwright. Joseph’s plan worked, and for the rest of his life

IMAX

Ingenious - Ingénieux

The really big show. Moviegoers want to be amazed continually by what they see, and moviemakers try to keep up and even get ahead by creating bigger, wider, clearer pictures. Today’s truly big picture is IMAX. Before this system, filmmakers couldn’t use the bigger film stock required to display images that would fill a viewer’s field of vision. Seventy-millimetre film, which is ten times larger than regular film, would shake when run through a camera and projector, distorting the image these
