OPG Strikes a Chord with Annual Sponsorship of Innovation & Inspiration
In a salut to innovation and inspiration, Ontario Power Generation becomes an annual sponsor of Parkwood National Historic Site for 2011.
With the shared histories of entrepreneurial men, Adam Beck and Sam McLaughlin, who used innovation well in the early 20th century, the annual sponsorship is a winning partnership steeped in Canadian business success. Parkwood is thrilled to receive the support of OPG, for a second year, as it enables the estate to offer a variety of museum interpretive programs and events to the public, which focus on the story, and ingenuity of Parkwood and the McLaughlin Family.
In 1910, southern Ontario hummed with hydro electric power, the rural areas of the province being serviced by the 1920s thanks to the work of Sir Adam Beck. Power lines were stretching across the province overhead, while McLaughlin-Buicks, later General Motors vehicles, travelled along the roads. It was certainly an age of innovation, which would forever change the landscape & horizon of the province, while changing the lives of Ontarians forever.
Parkwood looks forward to the continued partnership with Ontario Power Generation.
