Timeline
- 1974 – Campbell Scientific (USA), founded in Logan, Utah. (“Our History”)
- 1978 – Campbell Scientific (Canada) “officially begins operations” in Edmonton, Canada when Claude Labine negotiated the right to sell Campbell Scientific dataloggers in Canada. The company was formally established in Fall 1978. (“Company History”; “Company finds rugged new roles for data-sensing technology”)
- 1980 - Campbell Scientific Canada Corp. is active at 10429 87th Ave., Edmonton, AB. Listed as “Consultant and Instrumentation.” Advertising the CR21 datalogger: "The CR21 is a compact, portable datalogger for use in a variety of agricultural, environmental and industrial applications. Ask about our briefcase size modular CR5." (“Professional and Business Directory - Environment”)
-1988 – Licences prototype of snow depth sensor from Hydrometeorology Division of the Canadian Atmospheric Environment Service which they developed into the first-generation sensor CSMAL01, and then later generations in the subsequent years. (Labine, C. “Automatic Monitoring of Snow Depth”)
- 1994 – Active and owned by Claude Labine; employing 23 employees. Manufacturing snow-depth sensors; “Labine started the business after working with compact machines used in a project at Suncor, the huge oilsands plant near For McMurray. The portable-radio-sized machines, called data loggers… convert and store signals from monitoring devices. In this case, trees and other plants were being checked to see how they would respond to being planed along Suncor’s tailings pond dams. Labine was so impressed with the portability and compactness of the data loggers that he negotiated exclusive rights to sell them in Canada. While the machines are still manufactured in Utah… Labine’s firm modifies and adds other components that make them work in the coldest parts of Canada… Labine’s company… has also begun selling its own technology – snow-depth sensors that check changes in snow levels.” (“Company finds rugged new roles for data-sensing technology”)
- 1999 – Company active at 11564 -149th Street, Edmonton, AB. (“Hydrosense Instruction Manual”)
-2007 – Company is active at 11564 149th Street. Edmonton, AB. (“Campbell Scientific Inc., “Weather Stations”)
- 2012 – Company is collaborating with UBC-Okanagan to commercialise sensors that were designed to detect pathogens (specifically cryptosporidium) in water. (“Collaborative research improves water quality and heating systems”)
- 2024 – Active at 14532 - 131 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB. (https://www.campbellsci.ca/about)
