Photograph. Black and white photo showing a speaker and attendees at the "Partners in Progress" dedication ceremony for the two recently completed power interconnections between the Detroit Edison Company and Ontario Hydro. One interconnection was made across the Detroit River between the Detroit Edison Delray electric power plant and the Ontario Hydro J. C. Keith Generating Station in Windsor, Ontario. The other interconnection was made across the St. Clair River between the Detroit Edison Marysville electric power plant and Ontario Hydro transmission lines located just south of Sarnia, Ontario. The ceremony was held on December 18, 1953, at the Marysville power plant. The speaker at the lectern is Robert H. Saunders, Chairman of Ontario Hydro. The man who is standing on the right side of the photo in front of the unveiled "Partners in Progress" monument is not identified. An American flag and ceremony attendees can be seen in the left background area of the photo.
