Welcome by the general chair

It is a pleasure to welcome you all to Halifax which is hosting the IEEE Canada Electrical Power & Energy Conference 2010, with the theme “Sustainable Energy for an Intelligent Grid”. IEEE Canada and the IEEE Canadian Atlantic Section are sponsoring the Conference with valuable support from the IEEE Montreal and Ottawa Sections. The conference organizing committee has been busy preparing for this week and we are delighted to have you visit with us during the latter part of August where our fair city shines and displays its true hospitable side. There is lots of entertainment and lots of waterfront activities that you will want to partake in. Halifax is a great city with a history unparalleled in Canada. There are numerous historical and cultural attractions and fine dining. We hope you have the time to sample some of these during your visit here.
