The progress of high resolution and accurate spectroscopic studies using a trapped and laser cooled single ion at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is described. Summaries of the work are presented in the context of the important conceptual and research support provided by Dr. John L. Hall. Results including sub-100 Hz spectroscopy of the Sr+ single ion transition, absolute frequency measurement of the centre frequency via chain and optical frequency comb technology, and use of the ion reference for the precision determination of other frequencies such as the 633-nm I2/HeNe operating frequency are described.
