The great inventor and collaborator with Thomas Edison, Lewis Latimer, lived in Queens, New York when he was one of Edison’s chief competitors and later when Edison hired him. Latimer’s home was famously a meeting place for African American intellectuals, musicians, businessmen, etc. In the late nineteen nineties his home became a fascinating museum.

With Paul Kjellander’s painting of Latimer on the cover of June’s Public Utilities Fortnightly, we kicked off the campaign to develop a new permanent exhibition and interior renovation of the museum.

Cross-border relations are important, and it is a natural fit to find regulators from the United States at the highly-regarded annual meeting for Canadian regulators.

Much camaraderie and regulatory learning in the public interest took place in the stunning city of Vancouver in early May.

Plan on being in Toronto in 2023 for the next must-attend CAMPUT conference. Enjoy our Facebook gallery of memorable moments.
