Wow, it’s June already and it’s finally getting warm here! The last day of school for my kids is this Friday and we’re all looking forward to summer. I had a great weekend and I hope you did too. I had the opportunity to speak with David Cooper from LECS on Saturday regarding his research data on escalator accidents. We also talked about the Lift Academy, The Lift Charity and The University of Northampton. You won’t want to miss his interview next week. As for today’s show we’ve got many news stories to talk about. We will also cover the calendar of events as well. Those of you up at the Canadian Elevator Contractors Convention have a great time. (Pictured Right, another “Green” way to save energy. What’s next turning the lights out while riding?)
