Welcome to the PEM E-Newsletter!

I want to thank PEM E-Newsletter subscribers and magazine readers for their valued support in 2005. It was a pleasure to meet some of you throughout the year. I especially enjoyed attending MainTrain 2005, which was held late last month in Toronto, and the Power Transmission Distributors Association's (PTDA) annual Canadian conference in Calgary.

PEM had a banner year in 2005. The magazine received the 2005 Kenneth R. Wilson (KRW) Silver Award for Best Industrial/Manufacturing article. PEM was also a media sponsor of MainTrain 2005. Working with the Plant Engineering and Maintenance Association of Canada (PEMAC), MainTrain 2005 and the PEM 2005 Maintenance Awards were other successes.

Looking ahead to 2006, PEM will continue to strive to be Canada's trusted journal for plant operations, engineers and maintainers. Our goal is to help you.

Happy holidays!

Cheers,
Robert Robertson, PEM Editor
