Thirty years ago, the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering recognized Thomas Keefer's Hamilton Pumping Station as its first National Historic Civil Engineering Site. Since then the Society through the efforts of its National History Committee has designated more than 60 such sites located from coast to coast to coast. Wherever possible the individuals most responsible for the project are also identified on the plaques. The Society's history program has led the industry in recognizing Canada's engineering history and heritage, and its work has resulted in the receipt of the Parks Canada Award in 1996 and of the Pierre Berton History Award in 2002.
