Contact: Craig Harris, 581-4220
The 2010 Canada Week Distinguished Lecture on Monday, November 15 will be presented by David Massell, professor of Canadian history at the University of Vermont. Massell has done extensive research on the politics and policy of hydroelectricity in Quebec, which is largely driven by escalating US demand for energy. The title of his talk and discussion, from 3-6 p.m. at the Buchanan Alumni House, is “A Question of Power: A Brief History of Hydroelectricity in Quebec.” The event, sponsored by the UMaine Canadian-American Center, is free and open to the public. A reception follows the lecture.
