Welcome This issue of Canadian Design and Construction Report includes sto- ries about projects and initiatives from coast-to-coast, reflecting the diversity of Canada’s architecture, engineering and construc- tion industry. You can read about great wood design projects in B.C, Vulcan, Alberta’s economic development, an innovative Win- nipeg development, Ontario general contractors’ perspectives and several Atlantic provincial stories. Also included are observations of relevance to everyone in the industry, including guidance about risk management and Matt Handal’s tell-all explaining how his worst-ever proposal suc- ceeded. We’re continuing to enhance the publication with improved on- line distribution and a growing network of regionally-relevant web- sites. You can view the magazine online at www.cadcr.com (including some content not in the printed version) and, also read atlanticconstructionnews.com, covering Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, under At- lantic-Canada publisher Marilyn Munroe’s guidance. Please let us know about your own interesting projects. If you have videos, we can publish them, as well. You can communicate with me by email at buckshon@cadcr.com or by phoning (888) 432-3555 ext 224. We’re looking forward to seeing you again soon in the summer.
