Vancouver has joined Toronto, Los Angeles and Edinburgh with its decision to install bus shelters lit with Carmanah Technologies' solar LED lighting system. The company's i-Shelter technology will illuminate signs in 225 new bus shelters to be installed throughout Canada's third-largest city. Municipalities apparently like the idea of providing lighting for general safety, as well as illumination for advertising and other signs, without having to rip up concrete and lay electric wiring. It's a good move for Vancouver as it prepares to host the 2010 Olympics on the theme of "sustainability."
On another note, PROFIT Magazine ranked Carmanah the 36th fastest growing company in the country.
