Volunteer of the Year Recognition, 2025

This year’s Volunteer of the Year Appreciation Day honored three very hard-working and talented contributors who were instrumental in the success of Tesla Tales Across the Globe: Ana Antonov in Germany, George Taylor in Toronto, and Henry Kerr in Edmonton.

Ana and George worked endless hours using their solid editing skills to collaborate and communicate their fixes and changes, while making themselves available across challenging international time zones. Henry literally travelled the world and brought us interesting and insightful Tesla Tales from four different cities in far-flung countries. Many viewers commented on his composure and dedication.

Prior to Henry’s return to university, we arranged a coffee and cake reception on August 19^th where President Lillian Beltaos presented him with a certificate and small gift. Several of the Board’s Executive, members and friends were also in attendance. Certificates and similar tokens of appreciation will also be duly sent out to Ana and George.

Thank you all who took time out from their busy day to join us, and all the best to our three outstanding volunteers!

Lillian D. Beltaos, President

Edmonton’s Nikola Tesla Day, 2025

July 12th marked our third annual celebration of Nikola Tesla Day in collaboration with TELUS World of Science–Edmonton.

The program featured a repeat of the very popular pencil and paper scavenger hunt, where participants read about and answered questions about Nikola Tesla and his inventions which were posted at several stations in the facility. Entries with the correct answers were eligible for door prizes with the top prize being a Plasma Ball. Other activities back by popular demand were the indoor and outdoor remote-controlled boat games, science demonstrations at the Syncrude Stage, a youth arts and crafts corner featuring Nikola Tesla-related activities, and the display table with extensive Nikola Tesla memorabilia, books, and complementary souvenir items of Tesla stickers and bookmarks.

At two o’clock in the impressive Zeidler Dome, the NTHSA premiered its Tesla Tales Across the Globe–  a film expressly made for Nikola Tesla Day 2025– representing the first global birthday card of virtual birthday greetings and tributes to Nikola Tesla from all corners of the world by people honoring his outstanding achievements for the betterment of humanity.

Edmonton’s High Level Bridge was also illuminated along its length in blue lights, as has now become customary on Tesla’s birthday, ever since the Mayor’s proclamation of Nikola Tesla Day in in 2019.  

After the program concluded, over a dozen NTHSA volunteers, Board members and Mr. Frank Florian of TELUS World of Science–Edmonton gathered at a local restaurant to unwind after another busy and successful Nikola Tesla Day.  

And here it is:
