On January 13, 2015, TRIUMF played host to the Honourable Mike Lake, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry, and Member of Parliament (Edmonton — Mill Woods — Beaumont). Mr. Lake made a stop at TRIUMF to view the facilities and meet with members of the leadership team. He was introduced to TRIUMF’s dynamic and multi-disciplinary research program, and saw first-hand how the laboratory’s translates research excellence into economic and societal benefits for Canada.
“We were delighted to have the Honourable Mike Lake visit TRIUMF,” said Dr. Jonathan Bagger, TRIUMF Director. “We always welcome the opportunity to share TRIUMF’s groundbreaking research and discoveries with the federal government.”
