Mid-Canada Line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The majority of Mid-Canada Line stations were used only briefly from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s, as the attack threat changed from bombers to ICBMs; the early warning role passed almost entirely to the more capable DEW Line further north. The Mid-Canada Line, also known as the McGill Fence, was a line of radar stations across the "middle" of Canada to provide early warning of a Soviet bomber attack on North America. The southernmost site along the eastern portion of the line, at Cape Henrietta Maria on Hudson Bay, was used as the main communications point, and three additional repeater stations transferred data from the line southward to air defense headquarters in North Bay, Ontario. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mid-Canada_Line   (1564 words)

Canadian Shareowner: Canadian Satellite Communications Inc. Canadian Satellite Communications ("Cancom") is the leading provider of satellite-based broadcast signals in Canada. Cancom's satellite data network was expanded in 1995 with the acquisition of Motorola's Vanne Network (600 sites) which enables the company to offer mid-sized manufacturers and retailers a private "go anywhere" data network that overcomes the technical limits associated with telephone company-based public data networks. It should be noted that Telsat Canada is the monopoly provider of satellite services to Cancom and therefore Telsat controls the cost of a significant service to Cancom. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3642/is_199611/ai_n8740944   (1564 words)

History of Meteorological Services in Canada Services for the Canadian army were largely limited to the provision of surface and upper air data and forecasts for artillery units on the coasts and at training camps in central Canada. Meteorological services for the fight were generally considered satisfactory, but the experience did point out the need for trained personnel, more observations, better communications, and better methods of short-period forecasting. Continuing to provide general public and marine forecasts and routine climatological services, the Service inaugurated seasonal forestry and agricultural forecasts during the mid 1930's. www.cmos.ca /wxsvchistory.html   (11756 words)

Northern Hospitality To a large degree, aviation built Canada, untapping its vast resource wealth and often providing the only communications link between far-flung communities whose lifeline was a strip of gravel carved out of the forest and the hardy breed of part pilot, part mechanic and part entrepreneur who flew into them. From mid-November (up to a month earlier in the Far North) to early April, the combination of snow, wind, frightful cold and diminished sunlight make Canada a place best suited to earthly pursuits like skiing, snowmobiling and watching hockey on television. Canada's aviation heritage is like a vein whose branches nourish virtually every facet of the diverse country's social, business and even political life. www.avweb.com /news/places/183646-1.html   (2872 words)

The Early Warning Connection (Cold War Era) Beginning in the early 1950s, the Pinetree Early Warning Line, the Mid-Canada Line and the DEW Line were constructed across Canada, Alaska and Greenland to give such a warning. Communications capability was provided across Alaska by means of the Alaska Communications System (White Alice) and eastward to the United Kingdom by the North Atlantic Radio System (NARS). It soon became apparent to the leaders of the US and Canada that the security of the North American continent depended on having the capability to detect a nuclear attack, as far in advance as possible. earlywarning.westgeorgia.org   (559 words)

Kingston, Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In mid-2001, 14.1 per cent of the resident population in Kingston were of retirement age (65 and over for males and females) compared with 13.2 per cent in Canada, therefore, the average age is 38.1 years of age comparing to 37.6 years of age for all of Canada.

Communications Workers of America Shirley Douglas, an actress and health care activist, told how her father—Tommy Douglas, at the time premier of Saskatchewan—established Canada's first province-wide universal "Medicare" program in the mid-1900s.

Air Force Magazine Partridge said that the early warning system as a whole, including the lower Mid-Canada and Pinetree Lines, picked up an average of 35 unknowns a day in 1957. This Mid-Canada Line was a simpler microwave warning device, prone to false alarms set off by geese and other large birds. While its radars and communications could be jammed, that in itself would be a signal that something major was afoot, officials noted at the time. www.afa.org /magazine/Feb2004/0204line.html   (2885 words)
