The family of Betty Fleming

Betty left a wonderful legacy and many memories for those of us fortunate enough to have worked with her. She came up with the process used world-wide to catalogue, track and order the first satellite image data. (Even the Americans whose satellite was the topic of interest used her system!) What is not as well known is that Betty made Canada a larger country. Using the first satellite image data available she found an unknown island off the coast and, with its inclusion in Canada, our country grew in size. Betty was not only a remarkable Canadian, she was a shining example of the kind of unselfish contributions made by so many unsung public servants. It was a privilege to have worked with you Betty, thank you!
