We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Bjarni Tryggvason has agreed to be the after-banquet speaker. Bjarni is a Canadian engineer who pursued a career as an astronaut with the Canadian Space Agency. He served as a Payload Specialist on Space Shuttle mission STS-85 in 1997, a 12-day mission to study changes in the Earth’s atmosphere. On February 22, 2009, he piloted a replica of Alexander Graham Bell's Silver Dart, from the ice on Baddeck Bay, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The flight commemorated the centennial of the first flight in Canada and the British Empire.

Bjarni is a delightful speaker who will discuss some of his fascinating life experiences.
