Polarization of dust or synchrotron emission in the sub-millimetre-wave regime directly traces magnetic field directions. The magnetic field energy is similar to that of gravity and turbulence in interstellar gas, and so plays a major role in the dynamics and evolution of the interstellar medium. We present some early results from the aperture polarimeter on the SCUBA sub-mm bolometer array on the JCMT from a wide variety of sources, and briefly discuss the importance of a polarimetric capability for ALMA.
