Canadian Light Source wins two Saskatchewan awards

Consulting Engineers of Saskatchewan have announced the winners of their third annual awards.

The celebration was held in Saskatoon on Wednesday, November 26 at the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel, attended by the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan and over 200 people.

Two awards went to Loken Engineering Services for the Canadian Light Source, a remarkable science research project that involves building a massive machine called a synchrotron at the University of Saskatchewan. The synchotron produces the brightest light possible, billions of times more intense than the sun (See Canadian Consulting Engineer’s December 200 issue).
