The Canadian Light Source (CLS) began operations in 2005 with 7 beamlines. Now a dozen year later, the last of 22 beamlines are in the final stages of construction. The ring is now almost completely filled with only one straight remaining. As the second decade of the CLS begins and the CLS matures, a new strategic plan focuses on using our most precious resource – the staff – to be more engaged in helping solve problems of societal importance. Some aspects of this plan and unique highlights from the facility such as agricultural and medical imaging research will be discussed.
