Join the Campaign to Proclaim July 10th as Nikola Tesla Day in Ontario

Nikola Tesla, a prolific Serbian-American inventor and engineer, created the polyphase alternating current (AC) production and long-distance transmission system in 1888 and subsequently changed the world. We use his inventions daily, but often fail to recognize his immense contribution to modern society.

The advent of AC is inexorably linked to Ontario’s own history. Tesla’s system was used in the creation of the world’s first hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls. Within 25 years, every major municipality and township in Southern Ontario had access to electric power.

Our world reflects the realized dreams of countless scientists, engineers and people of medicine. As our daily lives have been greatly improved through their visionary work, it is important that we acknowledge their lives. Observing Nikola Tesla Day on July 10, will serve as an inspiration to future generations.

Add your name to demand Bill 293 Nikola Tesla Day Act be passed into law to officially proclaim July 10th as Nikola Tesla Day in Ontario.
