Good morning everyone! Today in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first long-distance call, from his residence in Brantford to his assistant in Paris, Ont., 13 kilometres away. The call was preceded seven days earlier by the first telephone call from one building to another, between Bell and his uncle. Also today in 1949, the first commercial jet plane to fly in the Western Hemisphere made its maiden flight over the Malton airport (now Pearson International) outside Toronto and in 1954, construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway began at Cornwall, Ont. The waterway took five years to complete, was considered a monumental engineering and construction feat and opened ports on the Great Lakes to ocean traffic.
