Did you know that Ontario engineer, George Klein, is the brilliant mind behind inventions such as the electric wheelchair, aircraft skis, and the microsurgical staple gun? #OntarioInnovation

Klein is one of the many incredible visionaries whose innovations continue to help millions across the country and the world. 🦼 He also acted as a consultant on the creation of ‘Canadarm’ – a robotic arm used by NASA’s space shuttle program that deployed, captured and repaired satellites, positioned astronauts, maintained equipment, and moved cargo. #WorldSpaceWeek
