Where are homeowners with a passion for personality finding fascination these days? In exteriors bathed in deep, beautiful hues. It’s a movement driven by a strong impulse to look up and see their very cool home in all its colourful glory. We have just the thing to match this trend: exteriors with character that come in a rich palette of dark colours. We’re very confident about that. royalbuildingproducts.com Featuring Royal Estate Siding in Shamrock © 201 6 Royal Building Products Editor's viewpoint Can we peek into Canada’s construction industry future? BuildForce Canada conducts labour market assessments and reviews, and provides some insights, outlined in this issue of Canadian Design and Construction Report. How- ever, the story grows more complex and interesting when you overlay these demographic and market trends with the issue of how and when technological changes will be adapted by the architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) community. For example, recently I’ve been exploring the impact of Building Information Modelling (BIM). Ultimately, the inte- grated four-dimensional (overlaying time on the conven- tional three dimensions) process changes the rules of the game for design, specifications and construction. Ulti- mately, BIM should reduce conflicts and foster increased collaboration. However, things are never so simple. As I surveyed pro- fessionals for a specifications software resource, I received responses such as “What is BIM?” from individuals with professional degrees. In other words, there are plenty of people in Canada’s AEC community who are quite happy to “cary on, carry on” just as they’ve always done. While my initial reaction to this news is to scratch my head in puzzlement or even frustration, I realize that not everyone captures and embraces change and new tech- nologies at the same pace, and many of the slower adapting individuals still do quite well in their businesses and careers. I respect their decisions. Yet, I hope, in this issue and in future publications, that we can shine the light on new processes, technologies and ideas and show you where and how they can be effectively adapted to your busi- nesses. You don’t need to be at the leading edge of innova- tion, but I think you should still know where the industry is heading.

BuildForce looks ahead: Slow growth predicted for Canadian construction industry Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer BuildForce Canada, in its annual national survey of the               construction industry, indicates that construction employ- ment will decline slightly this year coupled with an overall           slight sector  investment growth. Despite a seven per cent predicted decline in residential construction, labour shortages are still anticipated because BuildForce projects the rapid retirement of an anticipated 21 per cent of the construction workforce. “That impending wave of baby boom retirements we’ve been hearing so much about is here,” said BuildForce ex- ecutive director Rosemary Sparks. “This decade, as many as 248,000 skilled workers are retiring en mass. It’s a tremendous loss of experience that’s even harder to make up in a slow economy.” BuildForce Canada’s 2017-2026 Construction and Main- tenance Looking Forward forecast shows construction ac- tivity is expected to soften across most provinces as new residential activity declines and major projects reach com- pletion. Labour requirements will vary by province with resource driven markets such as Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador continuing to weaken as current projects wind down. In other provinces, including British Columbia, New Brunswick and Ontario, ongoing work, along with the an- ticipated start of planned utility, pipeline, transportation and other infrastructure projects, will create new job op- portunities. The timing of proposed projects varies and labour requirements are unevenly distributed across the provinces.             Over the latter half of the forecast period, project com- pletions and declining housing activity return construction        employment  back to near 2016 levels in  most provinces.                      The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 5 Non-Residential Key regions where new job opportunities are antici- pated: NB: Pipeline, marine terminal and hydro dam refurbish- ment projects increase employment demands; ON: Major transit infrastructure projects and nuclear re- furbishment projects add to employment opportunities across the forecast period; MB: Major hydro development and transmission projects sustain employment requirements; and BC: Pipeline, LNG, transportation and mining projects drive job growth. Residential Housing activity is expected to moderate in the two largest residential markets – British Columbia and Ontario. Over the short term, residential employment requirements strengthen in Alberta and Manitoba and continue to track downward in Quebec as well as Atlantic Canada over the long term. Residential construction employment is ex- pected to decline by seven per cent, only partially offset by steady but moderate increases in renovation activity. “Not attracting and training enough young workers is a 6 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report huge risk for the construction industry,” added Sparks. “With thousands of new workers needed to replace re- tirees, industry can’t afford to take its foot off the gas.” In its report, BuildForce says that “attracting and training young workers during a period of slower growth presents distinct industry challenges.” “Recruitment may be more difficult in provinces that have experienced significant declines in jobs, which may result in an increased risk of losing workers to other indus- tries or provinces in search of more secure employment opportunities.” “Failure to sustain recruiting efforts, however, poses sig- nificant future risks,” BuildForce reports. “Declines in train- ing new workers during past downturns has resulted in renewed market challenges when investment and labour demands cycle back up, even under conditions of more moderate growth. The lag between recruiting, training and developing skilled journeypersons can create a perpetual, cyclical mismatch between workforce requirements and available supply. Industry must continue to track changing conditions, including expansion, expected retirements and new entrants, to remain a step ahead and maintain a long- term sustainable skilled workforce.” BuildForce Canada’s provincial construction labour market forecasts Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer BuildForce Canada reports different construction labour force issues around the country. Notably, even in areas where there are job losses currently, retirements are ex- pected to outpace new entrants to the labour force in the next few years. BRITISH COLUMBIA – Construction workforce poised for growth The ramp up of major projects in B.C., from proposed transportation, pipeline and LNG projects to highway and bridgework will bolster the province’s construction work- force by 24 per cent, or almost 17,000 workers over the next five years. “It’s potentially the most rapid rise we’ve seen in B.C.’s construction workforce in the past decade,” said Build- Force executive director Rosemary Sparks. “The pace and magnitude of many of these proposed projects will require the steady recruitment of new workers from the local workforce and from outside construction or outside the province to meet labour demands, especially in remote lo- cations.” BuildForce’s forecast shows proposed transportation, pipeline, and LNG and mining investments are the primary driver behind B.C.’s construction job growth from now to the peak in 2021. Industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) building also continues on an upward trend, while new housing is expected to cycle down this year, following a period of extended expansion. The forecast also shows: • Following peak levels of activity, residential employ- ment is expected to decline by about 15 per cent over the scenario period; • Renovation and maintenance work is expected to ex- merk@merx.com ceed new housing by 2022, accounting for almost two-thirds of residential employment; • The need to replace as many as 40,000 baby boomers retiring from construction in the next 10 years. “The retirement of 21 per cent of B.C.’s construction workforce compounds the challenge for recruiters,” Sparks said. “Attracting more women and Indigenous people to construction could be a big part of the solution in filling that skills gap. Right now, they make up just four per cent of the province’s skilled construction workforce.” ALBERTA Second smaller wave of construction job losses expected Alberta’s construction industry is projected to lose up to 11,000 jobs over the coming year as several large proj- ects reach completion and low oil prices continue to limit new investment and growth. “While a staggered recovery is expected to start next year, it won’t lift all sectors of construction until about 2024,” Sparks said. “It’s a complex transition period for in- dustry that needs to ensure it has a skilled workforce trained and ready as the economy turns around.” The BuildForce forecast shows that the pace of overall job losses will ease in 2017. However, the slumping oil and gas sector and the completion of major projects will drive non-residential construction employment still lower by 2018. Commercial and industrial building is expected to decline this year and next. Road, highway and bridge ac- tivity slows, with job losses only partially offset by infra- structure stimulus funding. The rise in shutdown/turnaround work results in peri- odic recruitment challenges for specialized trades, while continuing growth in sustaining and maintenance work be- comes an important source of employment. As the econ- omy improves, new housing construction is expected to pick up starting in 2018, with ICI building following suit. www.merx.com www.merx.com/events The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 7 Recovery in oil sands and other engineering related work likely won’t begin until later in the forecast period. Although more moderate job growth is expected over the long term, unemployment rates will remain above average this decade compared to the last. The forecast also shows: • A recovery in new housing activity projected in 2018 and 2019, which adds back 10,000 jobs. By 2026, resi- dential employment is above 2016 levels by 10 per cent; • A further loss of 9,300 oil sands construction jobs through to 2023 with recovery not expected until the following year; • The need to replace more than 36,000 workers who are retiring this decade. SASKATCHEWAN Residential building and major projects help sustain employment Modest gains in new home building this year, a second wave of planned mining, utility and pipeline projects, and a steady rise in maintenance work will help restore con- struction employment to previous highs by 2021. “Construction employment will sustain at high levels as residential building and major projects cycle up and down this decade,” Sparks said. “Meeting rising labour require- ments by 2020, will mean persuading many of the workers who may have left the province to head back.” The forecast shows new home construction is ex- pected to recover this year, sustaining stable levels of res- idential employment through to 2022. After that, slower population growth reduces housing starts and related em- ployment. Industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) building is expected to decline over the short term, then resume after 2019 depending on the timing of a series of planned utility, pipeline and mining projects. Employment will decline with the completion of major projects, however rising maintenance and sustaining capital work will help keep construction employment at relatively high levels. BuildForce Canada’s forecast also shows: • Major projects are expected to add 2,200 jobs, a 15 per cent increase by 2021; • Project completions release more than 4,000 workers, with many absorbed by rising maintenance and other non-residential construction markets; • The need to replace more than 9,000 workers ex- pected to retire within 10 years. “Industry needs to stay focused on recruiting new work- ers even when construction growth slows,” Sparks said. “The slower economy compounds the challenge of replac- ing 17 per cent of the skilled workforce that’s expected to retire this decade.” MANITOBA Major projects keep the workforce growing strong Major hydro, transmission and pipeline projects are ex- pected to drive construction employment to a new high 8 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report this year, with as many as 9,000 new workers needed this decade to keep pace with construction and baby boom re- tirements. “This year marks the height of two years of strong con- struction growth in the province,” said Sparks. “When the current up cycle in hydro and transmission work winds down, a series of new projects will start. It’s a level of con- struction activity that requires new workers, especially as industry contends with an aging workforce.” The forecast shows construction activity reaching its highest point this year with major hydro and transmission projects, industrial and commercial building as well as min- ing, road, highway and bridgework all underway. As these projects wind down between 2018 and 2022, they’re off- set by ongoing hydro work and the anticipated start of planned mining, pipeline and government infrastructure in- vestments that result in a moderate rise in non-residential employment to 2026. New housing construction and home renovation work is on the rise this year, driving residential employment to a new high in 2022 before returning to current levels by the end of the forecast period. Construction employment in the province will remain at record levels for the next decade. The BuildForce Canada’s forecast also shows: • Maintenance requirements rise over the next decade absorbing some of the declines in engineering con- struction work after 2022; • Women make up three per cent of the province’s skilled construction workforce while 11 per cent are Indigenous people; • Up to 19 per cent of the construction workforce is retiring over the next 10 years. “Industry needs to stay focused on attracting more women and Indigenous people to construction,” Sparks said. “They could make a big difference in helping to counter the loss of as many as 8,100 workers who are re- tiring this decade.” ONTARIO Major projects important for industry as rising retirements create opportunities, challenges Major infrastructure, transportation and utility projects are creating a decade’s worth of work for Ontario’s con- struction workforce. These projects will sustain employ- ment over the next 10 years, while the impending wave of baby boom retirements becomes the bigger challenge for industry, “Ontario is losing as many as 86,000 workers this decade to retirement,” said Sparks. “It’s a huge loss of skill and experience that requires a concerted effort to attract more youth, women and Indigenous people to construc- tion as well as workers from outside the province.” Between now and 2020, labour demands in the province will intensify for current and planned infrastruc- ture and major engineering projects. “Labour mobility across regions will be key in meeting rising demands for specialized trades,” she said. The organization’s Ontario forecast shows that while the pace of construction is projected to slow, major proj- ects will sustain construction employment at near record levels over the next decade. From an international bridge in Windsor to nuclear re- furbishment and transit expansion in the Greater Toronto Area and Ottawa, infrastructure projects will surpass resi- dential building as the primary source of construction job growth in many regions of Ontario. Construction employ- ment is expected to peak in 2020, marking the plateau of a 25-year expansion that has doubled the size of Ontario’s construction workforce. Forecast highlights including the following: • Residential building drives employment higher in 2017 before stabilizing, while home renovation work grows steadily; • Institutional and commercial building remains steady while modest growth in manufacturing spurs industrial building between 2019 and 2020; • More than 20 per cent of Ontario’s construction work- force is expected to retire this decade. BuildForce Canada’s forecast by region: • Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Most of the province’s construction job growth will be in the GTA, where labour demands for major utility, transportation and other infrastructure projects are ex- pected to be highest in 2022. Residential building, driven by condo construction and renovation work is expected to remain at histori- cally high levels over the forecast period. • Southw est Ontario Construction activity is expected to rise this year and next, driven by major projects and gains in commercial and institutional building. As many as 3,500 jobs are added to 2020, a 30 per cent rise in engineering employ- ment driven by major projects including the start of a proposed nuclear refurbishment project. Housing starts rise modestly to 2021, then cycle down. • Central O ntario Construction employment is sustained near current levels by a rise in industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) building and stable engineering investment. Tradespeople involved in new housing construction are in demand as residential building reaches peak ac- tivity this year, before softening in 2018 and 2019. • Eastern Ontario Non-residential job growth increases over the short- term driven by spin off activity related to Light Rail Tran- sit and other infrastructure projects, adding as many as 2,300 jobs to 2021. After reaching peak activity this year, new housing re- mains relatively stable until 2021, then declines, while renovation works stays near current levels. • Northern Ontario Following several years of decline, housing starts are projected to rise across the forecast period. There’s a modest recovery in commercial and insti- tutional building, and a slight rise in engineering employ- ment to 2021 before receding, as current and proposed projects wind down. Low commodity prices have delayed new resource development projects QUEBEC Moderate changes with divergence between residential and commercial sectors BuildForce reports that there will be moderate changes in construction employment from 2017-2026, “although residential and non-residential sectors are expected to di- verge.” “Construction employment in the province has been ex- periencing modest declines since 2013, largely related to a down-cycle in new housing and major project comple- tions,” BuildForce reports. “Momentum shifts in 2017 with the start of a modest up-cycle in non-residential activity, which is expected to peak in 2019, while residential con- tinues to track downward.” BuildForce says potential retirements are significant and have recently begun to consistently outpace estimated new entrants. “An anticipated 45,500 workers are expected to retire across the scenario period, becoming a key focus of recruitment requirements. “Quebec’s population is growing, but natural population growth (births less deaths) is slowing. Immigration will continue to be an important source of labour supply over the next decade. The construction industry will need to draw from immigration and other markets to recruit the needed workforce.” NOVA SCOTIA Industry needs to prepare for demographic one two punch Recruitment efforts will focus on countering a huge wave of retirements this decade, with more than 8,000 new construction workers needed to replace retirees. “Industry needs to get ready for the impending demo- graphic double whammy,” Sparks said. “The pool of avail- able young workers is shrinking just as 25 per cent of the current workforce gets set to retire in rapid succession. It takes careful planning to counter the loss of 8,000 retirees. Industry is losing a lot of skill and experience.” The BuildForce Canada survey forecast shows industrial building, engineering construction and maintenance work is expected to sustain construction employment near cur- rent levels even as residential building slows and popula- tion growth declines. The completion of current projects reduces labour requirements this year and next, while ship- building and manufacturing activity rise in 2019 and 2020. The forecast also shows: • Residential construction will decline by 18 per cent over the next 10 years with the loss of 3,000 jobs, while renovation work resumes growth after 2021; • Non-residential construction rises including mainte- nance, adding 1,300 jobs, a 10 per cent increase this decade. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 9 “Nova Scotia has one of the oldest populations in At- lantic Canada, making it far more challenging to build a sustainable workforce,” Sparks said. “That puts greater emphasis on attracting workers from outside the province to meet labour requirements.” PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Baby boomer exodus to challenge industry As many as 1,500 construction workers are needed this decade to keep pace with major projects, an upswing in new home building and the rapid rise in retirements. “Baby boomers are leaving PEI’s construction industry in such rapid succession that it’s getting harder to replace them,” says Sparks. “Countering the loss of 26 per cent of the workforce over the next 10 years is a real challenge when retirees already exceed the number of local youth expected to enter the workforce.” The BuildForce forecast shows moderate job growth in residential and non-residential construction over the next decade. The strongest gains in both sectors are antici- pated over the next five years, with the addition of 600 new jobs. Institutional and commercial building rises steadily to 2022 while industrial building remains stable. A transmission project, significant road, highway and bridgework sustain engineering employment at high levels before receding after 2020. New housing demands rise over the next five years, driven by steady levels of immi- gration. As residential activity declines, non-residential con- struction sustains employment above current levels. The forecast also shows: • Rising residential construction creates as many as 400 jobs between now and 2022 before receding back to 2016 employment levels; • Renovation activity declines in the short term before resuming growth over the long term; • Non-residential construction employment, including maintenance, is expected to rise 10 per cent, adding 250 jobs over the forecast period. “Steady recruitment and training is a must to help build PEI’s construction workforce,” Sparks says. “As the pool of local younger workers gets smaller, industry will need to stay focused on recruiting from other industries or out- side the province.” NEW BRUNSWICK Proposed major projects drive construction job growth The province’s construction workforce is expected to grow by 12 per cent over the coming decade, driven by a recovery in new housing, steady rise in industrial and com- mercial building and potential planned energy and utility projects. “Most of the job growth could happen over the next five years,” Sparks said. “A lot depends on the timing of key pipeline, marine terminal and energy projects which could create recruit- ment challenges as thousands of workers retire.” The forecast shows rising construction demands over the coming decade driven by stable residential building and proposed major projects. The biggest employment 10 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report gains are anticipated between now and 2020, as an in- crease in ICI building could coincide with planned pipeline, mining and other infrastructure projects. These investments offset a decline in road, highway and bridge work over the next five years and contribute to a rise in maintenance work over the latter half of the decade. Construction expansion is expected to raise em- ployment in a series of waves, adding 2,600 jobs over the next 10 years. BuildForce Canada’s forecast also shows: • A modest rise in housing starts to 2020, while home renovation activity strengthens between 2020 and 2026; • Engineering related projects could add 1,700 jobs, a 36 per cent increase over ten years; • The need to replace 28 per cent of the workforce, or 7,600 workers who are retiring this decade, well above the national average. NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Contraction expected as major projects wind down Falling oil and gas prices and major project completions and delays will significantly reduce the construction work- force over the next five years, creating potential recruit- ment challenges when a new round of projects start later in the period. “The current downturn and rising retirements make it all the more difficult to prepare for the next wave of pro- posed engineering projects,” Sparks said. “More than 3,000 workers may be needed when those projects are ex- pected to start in 2022.” The BuildForce Canada forecast shows rising unem- ployment as major projects wind down and mining and off- shore development projects are delayed. As the population declines, new housing construction continues to cycle down and home renovation work softens. Ongoing road, highway and non-residential maintenance work result in small job gains in 2017. The anticipated recovery is ex- pected to stabilize new housing investment and increase home renovation and ICI building construction. The start of potential planned new resource projects between 2022 and 2024 will drive job growth, although employment will remain 25 per cent below 2016 levels by the end of the forecast period. The forecast also shows: • Overall residential employment is expected to decline by 20 per cent over the next ten years with most job losses between now and 2020; • The loss of an additional 6,500 non-residential con- struction jobs between 2017 and 2021; • As many as 3,900 jobs may be added at the height of the proposed second wave of engineering projects between 2022 and 2025. “A strong focus on recruitment and training is a must, with more than 5,000 skilled workers retiring this decade,” added Sparks. “That’s 21 per cent of the workforce that isn’t easily replaced, especially during a slower economy.” Trump supports “expeditious completion” of Gordie Howe Bridge Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer U.S. President Donald Trump has made it clear that he supports the rapid development of the Gordie Howe Inter- national Bridge between Detroit and Windsor. In a joint statement with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during Trudeau’s first visit to see the U.S. leader in Washington in February the leaders said: “Given our shared focus on infrastructure investments, we will encourage opportunities for companies in both countries to create jobs through those investments. In par- ticular, we look forward to the expeditious completion of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will serve as a vital economic link between our two countries.” Trump’s support undoubtedly will be encouraging to Canadian and U.S. officials who continue to face legal con- flicts with Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun. Moroun, who is fighting to preserve his toll generating revenue said in a recent lawsuit that Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and the state’s transportation department “usurped” and “hijacked” legal approvals that rightfully be- longed to the state legislature. The Windsor Star reports that several companies owned by the Michigan billionaire filed the sweeping law- suit on Dec. 29, claiming the bridge project should be stopped and that Snyder and the Michigan Department of Transportation have no legal authority to push it through.

(OCS represents the collective interests of the unionized construction industry in Ontario’s industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) construction sector.) John Beck, president and chief executive officer of the Aecon Group and Chris Gower, chief operating officer, buildings at PCL Construction, naturally have differing per- spective than smaller general contractors on sensitive top- ics such as bundling, where only the largest players (or consortia) have the opportunity to win the work. Beck says very large projects – especially in the transit sector – need to be integrated because of the requirement to co-ordinate all the components; splitting the project into smaller pieces increases risks. “If it is too big for any one or two companies, you need to build up (the bidding team) with complementary skills,” he said, describing Aecon’s participation in the Hwy 407 project. There, Aecon was part of a consortium of four players with complementary skills, including material supplies and engineering. “We could have never built that ourselves,” he said. Meanwhile, Gower said that while large international players can bring resources and skills to the Canadian mar- ket, it is essential that there be local expertise – a rating qualification that Infrastructure Ontario has built into its processes. “I’m dead against international contractors with no local experience being allowed to bid,” he said. “When an inter- national contractor partners with Canadian partners, and observes Canadian labour practices and commercial prac- tices with quality and safety, and when they are willing to adopt those fully as part of their modus operandi” then they should be able to participate. “Talking with people around the world, Canada is the place in the next five to 10 years (for infrastructure work) in the construction industry in general,” Gower said. “That’s why we’ve attracted so many international play- ers.” Both speakers indicated innovation is encouraged by P3 projects, where the winning consortium has to think long- term in terms of the project’s lifecycle, as it is often ex- pected to manage and maintain the project for years or even decades. “When you have a conversation around innovation it goes about how the work is procured,” said Gower. It doesn’t help to “beat up on general expenses and fees” - “who assesses value and what we measure by, is driven largely by ownership.” “If you have a better way of building it, because we are assessing the win on net present value and operating building efficiency, we are better contractors because of the last 10 years doing P3 work,” he said. Beck, meanwhile, said the process of innovation has been stronger in the office than in the field but there is job- site progress in autonomous vehicles, drones and even ex- oskeletons. The contractors agreed that they are finding value in im- plementing community benefits as part of their larger scale projects, but they said it is important that these concepts, to create opportunities for veterans, women and disadvan- taged workers, not be mired in bureaucratic mandatory regulations. “People should be measured on how they give back and support (the community),” including creating apprentice- ship opportunities, Gower said. “The trick is that this sup- port is sustainable and accountable and that it can be measured and doesn’t become an administrative burden where the benefit is lost.” Beck, meanwhile, said the Eglinton Crosstown project incorporated a “formal alliance program with government, with community outreach with the inclusion of women and other disadvantaged players in training and in including them.” These aren’t prescriptive requirements. Overall, PCL has hired “a bunch of ex-military” people for projects, and separately is working with First Nations across the country, including remote training sites in the north to educate young people to come into the construc- tion industry. “Not just because this is expected – we need to bring in women and First Nations and others because we need them for the workforce,” he said. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 13 WoodWORKS! BC celebrates excellence in wood design and construction at 2017 awards ceremony BY ROD WINDJACK — MULGRAVE SENIOR SCHOOL Canadian Design and Construction Staff writer WoodWORKS! BC has recognized excellence in con- temporary design and building with wood at the 2017 Wood Design Awards. There were 114 nominations in 13 categories – a record number with nominations from all over the province, as well as some national and international project submis- sions from as far away as Shanghai, China. The awards have been celebrated for 13 years. More than 400 guests, including architects, structural engineers, 14 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report project teams, local government and industry sponsors at- tended the March 6 ceremony in Vancouver. All projects showcase distinctive and unique qualities of wood such as strength, beauty, versatility, and cost-ef- fectiveness in a wide range of projects and a variety of wood uses. “With wood now recognized for its ability to signifi- cantly reduce carbon impacts in our built environment and increase construction efficiency, it is playing a leading role in a design and building revolution,” WoodWORKS! BC ex- ecutive director Lynn Embury-Williams said in a statement. BY CHRIS JACQUES – TSAWWASSEN MILLS “The relentless exploration of new frontiers with wood is the foundation of our awards program and the projects presented here this evening provide a view into the future,” she said. The panel of four judges included architectural journalist and critic Adele Weder; Bob Smith, Canfor’s general man- ager, specialty products sales; Karla Fraser, senior project manager, Urban One Builders; and professional engineer Ed Lim from United Building Systems. The Wood Champion Award was presented to Dana Westermark, Oris Consulting, Richmond, who was one of the first to establish wood as the best material for a signif- icant new market sector: five and six-storey mid-rise wood frame residential construction. He has willingly shared the lessons he learned, and inspired and supported a team of consultants in the development of this new type of con- struction. Fast + Epp, Vancouver, an internationally respected firm that has led the way for wood in many of Canada’s most innovative wood structures, was the recipient of the En- gineer Award. The firm’s project, Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre, Surrey, was cited in the nomination for its unique undulating roof structure, which achieves the sig- nificant clear spans required for pools, and ensures long- term operational cost savings. The Architect Award was presented to HCMA Archi- tecture + Design, Vancouver. The firm, which has earned many significant awards for its work, has been a leader in supporting the movement toward using wood as a first choice in design and construction. The firm has also rec- ognized the important economic, social and cultural as- pects to the livelihood of many British Columbian commu- nities that the wood industry provides. The Wood Innova tion Awa rd recognizes creative and innovative approaches in the use of wood in building design, product design and/or processes. The winner of this category was Iain Weir-Jones, Weir-Jones Group, for Shoreline by MGA in Vancouver. The jury said the wood created a contemporary design with unique warmth and character to stimulate and promote a healthy office and shop environment. The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, represented by Brett Crawley, was presented with the Env iron mental Performance Award for Bella Bella Passive House, Bella Bella. The jury said it was impressed with the efficiency of the modular construction which employed less material waste, required fewer material deliveries (further reducing the carbon footprint), and reduced the dust, noise, air and water pollution, compared to traditional onsite construc- tion methods. Winners in the wood design categories include: Residential Wood Design Bo Helliwell and Kim Smith, Helliwell + Smith/Blue Sky Ar- chitecture, West Vancouver - Arbutus House, Victoria The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 15 Multi-Unit Residential Wood Design Innovation Building Group Ltd., represented by Ron Nadeau, Whistler - Solana, Whistler Commercial Wood Design Chris Jacques, Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd., Vancouver - Tsawwassen Mills, Tsawwassen 16 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Interior Beauty Design Rod Windjack, HDR/CEI Architecture Associates Inc., Van- couver - Mulgrave Senior School Addition, West Vancouver Institutional Wood Design – Small Shelley Craig, Urban Arts Architecture, Vancouver - UBC Engineering Student Centre, Vancouver International Wood Design Michael Green, MGA/MICHAEL GREEN ARCHITECTURE, Vancouver/Steve Cavanaugh, DLR Group, Chicago - T3, Minneapolis Institutional Wood Design – Large Patkau Architects, represented by: Patricia and John Patkau, Vancouver - Audain Art Museum, Whistler Western Red Cedar Franc D’Ambrosio, D’AMBROSIO architecture + urbanism, Victoria – Cadboro Bay Residence, Saanich Jury’s Choice award Kengo Kuma, Kengo Kuma and Associates, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan - Shaw Tower Teahouse, Vancouver The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Award, part of the North American wide Wood Design Awards, was presented to the Oregon based architecture firm Hacker, for its project, Lakeside at Black Butte Ranch, Black Butte, Oregon. “We thank all the nominees for their ingenuity and in- novation with wood design and building that continues to make British Columbia a leader nationally and internation- ally,” Embury-Williams said. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 17 Red Deer Construction Association celebrates 60th anniversary Resilience and growth reflected as industry experiences economic ups and downs Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The Red Deer Construction Association (RDCA), cele- brating its sixtieth anniversary, has demonstrated resilience and growth as the local construction industry adapts to changing economic circumstances. The association was born as the Red Deer Builders Ex- change in 1957. As the post World War II boom continued into the late 1950s, the central Alberta city between Cal- gary and Edmonton had serious procurement manage- ment, budgeting and growth challenges, as it struggled to 18 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report provide services to a surging population, compounded by periodic economic crashes when the economy would con- tract suddenly. “There was a requirement for some standards in the way things were being done, and that required people to get together to develop the standards and help the city grow in a structured way,” says current RDCA executive director Gary Gies. There was something of a wild west atmosphere in the city’s earlier years and these were reflected in a chaotic political and procurement environment in the 1950s. “In the mid-1950s, there was a slight lull in the great boom,” a report on the city’s con- struction history said. “The value of new construction dropped 30 per cent in 1956 and would have dropped even further if the provincial government had not launched the massive construc- tion of the new Deerhome Institu- tion (now part of the Michener Centre).” Late that year, two representatives of the Calgary Builders Exchange attended a meeting at Red Deer’s City Hall as guest speakers. “The contractors who attended were impressed with what they heard.” They formed a local committee to interview subtrades and proceed with establishing the new organi- zation. The association was an instant success, with 58 mem- bers, the third largest in the province. Through negotiations with the city, procurement and bidding systems were established to ensure a fair and competitive industry environment, and the association, later renamed the RDCA, took on the tradi- tional construction association re- sponsibilities including a plans room and bid depository. Gies says several of the RDCA’s earliest corporate members still belong to the association. Mem- bership through the years, reflecting the industry’s boom and bust cycles, has “gone all over the map,” he said. “It was down in the early 80s. In the 1990s there were more than 100 members, and it reached 200 members in the 2000s.” By the current decade, as the economy grew, member- ship surged above 300, reaching 373 last year. The most recent oil industry economic downturn hasn’t caused a loss in membership, he said. “Typically, with associations, when times are a bit harder, people need some of our services,” Gies said. “We offer the ability to network, create relationships, and we’re the hub of information for construction. Lots of people, during downturns in the economy, flock to us for the latest news, and for help in putting them touch with other people to help diversify their businesses.” Like most construction associations, the physical plans room has recently been replaced by electronic resources (with other Alberta associations, the RDCA belongs to COOLNet Alberta), and members now visit the association more for training opportunities than to view blueprints. “By far the number one service that has carried on through the years is the importance of information and the ability to bid, and the fairness through standard and best practices, with tendering procedures and contracts, and these are still the staple of the association and the indus- try,” he said. However, safety standards are becoming more impor- tant year by year, and here the RDCA training helps mem- bers keep up-to-date with requirements. The association also is focusing more on encouraging young people to consider trades careers, providing re- sources for secondary and post-secondary schools, and promoting apprenticeship. Gies said the RDCA recognized its past presidents at its annual general meeting and Building Central Alberta Night in February. There’ll be a golf tournament in June, a mem- bers’ barbeque in August, and a Christmas breakfast in De- cember. “We’ll be incorporating our sixtieth anniversary through all of these events” and through the association’s website and communications. Gies says members, “with so many ups and downs, good times and tough times, based on the economy, peo- ple stuck together and were committed to it, and that’s what has made the association what it is today.” Indeed, there is reason for pride as the RDCA looks for- ward to its next 60 years. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 19 The West Block rehabilitation: A Parliament Hill photo story Ottawa Construction News staff writer Photographer Ron de Vries has been tak- ing images of the construction progress on the Parliament Hill West Bock Rehabilitation project since Sept. 2012. We’ve received his permission and also permission from Public Service and Government Works Canada (PSGWC) to republish these images here. “I have been managing seven time lapse cameras, which have taken 800,000 plus pho- tographs to date and for the first three years, I also took weekly progress photos,” de Vries says. The rehabilitation is in the final stretch. “This past fall I requested and was given permission to photograph some of the fin- ished stonework, especially the sculptures, chimeras/grotesques, gargoyles and other artistic stone artwork as a personal project.” “This is just a sampling of what I could photograph in one afternoon.” Also included are some images and ren- derings from PWGSC for the project. PCL Constructors Canada Inc. is overseeing the work under a construction management serv- ices contract. 20 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report NRC to upgrade building codes, specifications and guidelines to address climate change challenges Canadian Design and Construction Report staff writer The National Research Council (NRC) says it is health de- veloping measures to protect Canadians from the conse- quences of climate change on buildings and infrastructure. “Canadian buildings and infrastructure are being more and more challenged by the impacts of climate change and an increase in extreme weather events such as damaging floods and devastating high winds,” NRC says in a news release. “In response to this new reality, the National Re- search Council (NRC) along with Infrastructure Canada is upgrading codes, specifications, guidelines, and assess- ment tools to keep Canadians safe.” The NRC says over the next five years it will conduct re- search, evaluations, as well as risk analyses to develop new solutions to factor climate resilience into the design of future buildings and infrastructure in Canada. This in- cludes houses, roads, bridges, water systems, and rapid transit networks. “With climate change, the total annual precipitation is increasing, as well as the frequency and severity of ex- treme events, such as heat waves, high winds, floods, and 22 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report droughts, all of which is resulting in increased stress on built structures,” says Richard Tremblay, NRC’s general manager of construction. “In 2017, it is a necessity to start planning to adapt our buildings and infrastructure to with- stand the new loads.” The federal government is investing $40 million into these efforts from the Investing in Canada plan, which pro- vides more than $180 billion in infrastructure funding over 12 years. NRC says it will make full use of its leading ex- perts as work gets underway in its world class research fa- cilities in Ottawa. Several government departments and industry leaders will be involved. “I see this initiative on climate change adaptation as having the potential to have a profound impact on the Canadian construction industry and on the future of build- ings in Canada,” says Doug Crawford, chair of the Cana- dian Commission on Building and Fire Codes. Once in effect, the new measures are expected to re- duce the costs of rehabilitation and replacement of build- ings and infrastructure affected by extreme weather events. New specifications and guidelines will be ready and released as soon as 2020, the NRC says. May 16 to 18 in Toronto Inaugural STONEX Canada show serves stone, ceramic and tile industries Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature STONEX Canada, the first trade show and educational program dedicated to the stone, ceramic and tile indus- tries, is scheduled for May 16 to 18 at The International Centre in Toronto. The show, the result of a strategic partnership between Informa Exhibitions and the Terrazzo Tile & Marble Associ- ation of Canada (TTMAC), will bring together leading man- ufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, buyers, and building professionals. Attendees are also expected to come from the architectural, designer, installer, engineer and facility manager and owner sectors. A media release announcing the event noted: “With the growing demand for natural stones, tiles and ceramic, along with the increased presence of international manu- factures in the Canadian market, Informa Exhibitions and TTMAC, have joined forces to meet the demands of these emergent industries. The event will focus exclusively on the technology and innovation in an exposition, a series of live demonstrations and an educational forum. It will offer several lucrative opportunities for businesses to grow their client base, network and develop new relationships in a dynamic environment.” Teresa Domingues Baker, marketing and program direc- tor at Informa Exhibitions, says that over the past five years, Canadian imports for stone and tile has grown by more than 38 per cent. She says Canadian consumers are demanding higher quality and greater selection for their ICI buildings and homes. “STONEX Canada will serve as a networking plat- form to enable designers, architects, contractors, owners, and property managers to source new suppliers and ac- cess a wider selection of stone and tile and equipment.” Baker says STONEX Canada is the ideal platform for new suppliers to enter the Canadian market because it will allow them to showcase their products to the industry and to potential Canadian importers, distributors and retailers. “By providing a platform for new suppliers with new prod- ucts, the show will help bring a wide variety of exotic, beautiful, and innovative products to Canada.” She says the show will also be important in filling a net- working, informational, and training gap within the indus- try. “The sheer existence of this show illustrates how much the industry has grown and matured in Canada. There is significant interest in participating in the show from exhibit- ing companies, associations, designers, and the industry at large. The high level of demand and engagement we have received from people reveals that the show will fill a need in the market.” The educational technical symposium and demonstra- tion aspects are intended to share information about the latest technical installation specifications and trends in new materials for building professionals. Baker says this year’s event is expected to include more than 300 exhibiting companies from 13 countries including Canada, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, India, Italy, Pakistan, Peru, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. Ex- hibitors will showcase products, machinery and services in more than 16 product categories including accessories, advanced construction technologies, architectural design, and building exteriors/thermal and moisture protection. Baker says organizers anticipate more than 6,000 indus- tries professionals will register for the inaugural show. Live demonstrations featuring installations of stone and tile, as well as the proper use of new tools and machinery, are expected to be popular. The technical symposium, Baker says, will address market updates, industry game changers, technical specification guidelines, and new trends for kitchens and baths, flooring, landscaping and building facades. “The interactive demonstrations will en- able industry professionals to get a better sense of what innovative technology is available to them and what prod- ucts are best suited for specific applications.” One unique aspect of STONEX Canada is the support it has received from a large number of international pavilions and government agencies. “The majority of the stone and tile sold in Canada is processed and manufactured abroad. These international pavilions give these suppliers, both big and small, an opportunity to showcase the best and the latest innovative products from around the world to STONEX Canada attendees here in the GTA, in one con- venient location over the three days of the show.” For more information, visit www.stonexcanada.com. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 23 Productions Terrastone: Custom terrazzo and natural stone products for residential and commercial projects Productions Terrastone is a Quebec based family owned manufacturer of prefabricated terrazzo, quartz and natural stone products including counter tops, vanities, steps, ris- ers and more. The company produces and designs a wide range of custom products that can meet the design, archi- tectural and budget demands for a diversity of projects ranging from residential to large commercial. President Fabrizio Bruno says the company provides its Canadian made products to projects across the country. Its 24 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report ability to provide prefabricated terrazzo, custom cut product including stringers, cove bases, shower bases, countertops in terrazzo, benches, terrazzo tiles of any size, wall panels and more, has made the company a successful partner on many large projects. The company’s installation team draws from more than 30 years of industry experience and has been instrumental on several key projects within Montreal including Saint-Justine University Hospi- tal where 200,000 sq. ft. of Productions Terrat- sone’s terrazzo, 15,000 linear ft. of cove base and prefabricated benches were installed. Productions Terrastone also provided and in- stalled products at phase one of Les Tour des Canadiens condos. This massive skyscraper condo is located in downtown Montreal, directly adjacent to the Bell Centre. The high profile project, partly owned by the Montreal Canadiens hockey team, promises condo owners “unprecedented and exclusive access to the team” and is highly in demand. Bruno says Productions Terrastone is used to the unique demands of this kind of high profile project. The company also installed its terrazzo prefabricated tiles, cove base and other prod- ucts at several Société de transport de Montréal (STM) metro stations in the city including Square Victoria, Jean Drapeau, Rosemont, Snow- don, and Berri-Uqam, the largest station in Montreal. Productions Terrastone manufactures countertops in quartz and natural stone as well, can cut tiles to any custom size and can inte- grate logos into any terrazzo piece. These unique feature pieces can make a distinct impression at any location, including corporate of- fices, hotels and other commercial enterprises, Bruno says.

The biennial show provides a unique opportunity for architects, con- tractors, engineers and specifiers, along with building owners and man- agers to learn valuable insights about all forms of roofing systems, materials and technologies. The show has several elements be- ginning with a seminar program, which this year offers two topic ses- sions per day: Doing Business with the Various Government Levels; Roof- ing from an Asset Point of View; Build- ing Roofs for Climate Change Adaptation; and Making Important Roofing Decisions and Avoiding Costly Mistakes: Strategies for Build- ing Owners and Managers. The most popular component of the show is the live demonstrations. This year’s line-up includes demos on six major roofing systems: Thermo- plastic roofing; EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer) roofing; steep slope roofing; green roofing; modified bitumen; and built-up roof- ing. Each demo is both planned and executed by experts on that specific roofing system to ensure that the in- formation and techniques provided are relevant and of greatest value. George Przybylowski, vice-presi- dent, construction and real estate/global exhibitions, says these demonstrations provide anyone with any role in new development or retro- fit to see something they usually don’t. “At each demonstration, an MC will walk the attendees through the process. Observers have the chance to see and learn about all the materi- als used to create one of the roofing systems, and to watch the actual as- sembly process. The sample of each roof stays in place then and people, ei- ther those in attendance or those who may have missed a demonstration, have the chance to get a closer look and ask questions.” 26 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Demonstrations will present a brief history on the development of each major roofing assembly and some of their features and benefits prior to the assembly demonstration which in- cludes typical flashing details, good roofing practice techniques and safety precautions. The majority of seminars and demonstrations are eligible for contin- uing education credits through BOMA (The Building Owners and Managers Association) and OAA (Ontario Asso- ciation of Architects). Another popular component is the outdoor demonstration area where equipment and safety demonstrations are presented. ROOFTech is free with advance registration. “We hear regularly from people how they especially enjoy the seminars and live events,” Przyby- lowski said. Additional educational opportuni- ties are also available through the more than 200 exhibits both indoors and outdoors in the heavy equipment space.

The Tremco Group: Delivering long-term, reliable and economic building envelope performance Opened as a small roofing materi- als and manufacturing plant in 1928, Tremco (Treuhaft Manufacturing Com- pany) has grown over time into The Tremco Group, an RPM International Inc. affiliate company employing more than 1,900 people in several locations around the world. The Tremco Group’s operating divi- sions specialize in the manufacture and sale of roofing materials and serv- ices, as well as construction sealants, glazing and gaskets, waterproofing systems, sealers, fire stopping sys- tems, and a host of custom designed products, programs and services ded- icated to the worldwide construction, maintenance and repair industries. The company’s business divisions include Roofing and Building Mainte- nance, Sealants/Weatherproofing, which includes Tremco-Illbruck Eu- rope. The Canadian Roofing and Building Maintenance Division carries a full line of asbestos-free roofing and weather- proofing systems and products, backed by 41 technically trained and experienced and entrepreneurial field advisors, 17 technical representatives, and divisional offices and manufactur- ing facilities in Toronto and Montreal, with the goal of long-term customer relationships. Tremco marketing manager of the Canadian Roofing and Building Main- tenance Division, Christian Knudsen, says that by “delivering long-term per- formance to building owners and fa- cility managers for roofing and building assets, by caring for and managing the life cycle of the entire building envelope, Tremco’s roofing systems have consistently given Canadian facility managers peace of mind in a climate where reliability of the roof’s performance is paramount.” Critical applications include institu- tions such as hospitals, schools, and universities, as well as retail and man- ufacturing facilities. He says the company’s Weather- proofing Technologies Division (WTC), the services arm of Tremco’s Roofing and Building Maintenance Division, uses four key tools for successful roof management: Scientific data collec- tion; accurate data analysis interpreta- tion; roof project planning, implementation and follow-up; and preventive maintenance. “Weatherproofing Technologies Inc. (subsequently Weatherproofing Technologies Canada) was the first service firm in the world to achieve ISO 9001 Certification for the “provi- sion of management services for roof inspection, diagnostic and mainte- nance,” he said. “It is our commitment to ISO processes and a full spectrum of proactive services including consult- ing, inspection, asbestos testing, tear off and replacement, new construc- tion roofing, maintenance, patch and repair, infrared scanning, and war- ranted services that enable our clients to avoid unexpected costs and im- prove the quality of roof assets, thereby providing roofing and weath- erproofing peace of mind.” The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 27 ROOFTech 2017: April 25 and 26 Knudsen says WTC’s corporate philosophy focuses on forming a partnership of customer representatives, Tremco field advisors, WTC’s technical service specialists and, in many cases, third party specialists. These may include ar- chitects, engineers, roof consultants, energy service com- panies, outsourced facilities management firms and financial/leasing advisors. “The partners are directly accountable for attaining the prescribed goals of a customized Roof Management Pro- gram,” he said. One of Tremco’s most innovative product lines is its Al- phaguard line of fluid applied coating systems for new, re- placement and restoration roofing. Knudsen says the Alphaguard line is a family of fluid applied coating systems that offer options for application at different temperatures regardless of the season. Alphaguard MT, the most popular Alphaguard product is a single-component, low-odor, fully reinforced, aliphatic polyurethane, moisture triggered roof- ing and waterproofing system that can be used to restore and replace existing roofing systems. “It is a unique, easily applied, highly versatile, durable and technologically ad- vanced system.” The “moisture-triggered” curing mechanism is less sen- sitive and more dependable than the “moisture-cured” mechanism of commodity coating systems, allowing the roof to be installed and operational more quickly, he says. “The AlphaGuard family of fluid applied coating systems are excellent solutions for restoring exposed or buried roof PREV / ACTION M A I N T E N A N C E P A R T N E R S H I P EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR FLAT ROOF SYSTEM allianceroofing.ca 28 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report in membranes regardless of the deck type. Because of its unique chemistry, it is also completely at home under wet vegetated or inverted roof membrane assemblies.” Knudsen says the system is also suitable in extending the life of single-ply, modified bitumen or built-up roofing systems and can improve a building’s energy performance through the advantage of its reflective top coat that reduces rooftop temperatures. In 2016, Tremco introduced a new and innovative service offering, the SkyBEAM (Building Envelope Asset Mapping), incorporating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of completing not only rooftop scans but also walls to com- plete an entire building envelope assessment. “This inno- vative services uses its thermographic (infrared) camera to inspect the multi-level rooftops for trapped moisture, en- ergy leaks and other damage.” Most effective at night, when the UAV’s infrared camera is most effective at identifying temperature variations when the sun is not warming the inspected building, the service identifies variations that can indicate problems, such as hard to find leaks and roof system deficiencies. “Prior to SkyBEAM, conducting an inspection of this size would typically need eight to 10 nights and would require survey team technicians to traverse rooftops. Scanning this way can take hours and does not require anyone on the roof at night.” SkyBEAM’s high definition cameras can also be used to detect façade issues such as tiny gaps and cracks, and de- teriorating concrete, that Knudsen says would otherwise require scaffolding or cranes to locate. Roofing and façade issues can lead to large capital expenses, increased oper- ating costs, occupant discomfort and more. More information on Tremco is available at https://www.tremcoroofing.com.

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 29 ROOFTech 2017: April 25 and 26 Crawford Roofing succeeds with diverse services, emergency response capabilities and solid safety practices Family-owned Crawford Roofing, based in Downsview, has grown since its inception in 1983 into a competitive in- dustrial, commercial, and institutional roofing operation. General manager Nelson Rites says customer satisfac- tion has always been integral to the company’s operation and is part of its success and growth. The company has grown over time to more than 70 employees, including mul- tiple production and service roofing crews. It has a large yard and warehouse space, where it stores a range of key equipment and handles job preparation. 30 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report The company’s services have also grown with time to include in-house disposal, craning, vacuuming, and sheet metal fabrication. “Our focus is on re-roofing applications for multiple types of buildings of varying uses,” says Rites. “We work closely with building owners, property managers, as well as REITs (real estate investment trust).” He says the company’s emergency leak services, re- roofing, and sheet metal flashings help clients maintain their building envelope for better building lifecycle. Craw- ford’s emergency response ensures damage is contained and repaired quickly and efficiently. “Our clients rely on our quick response time, appreciate that we are detail orientated, and value that each and every one of our projects is completed within budget and on schedule. We work with the individual needs of each build- ing and occupant to ensure the work is done with minimal disruption and according to their requirements.” He says for their own employees’ wellbeing, and their client’s peace of mind, safety is always a high priority. “Everyone gets home at the end of the day. No exception. That focus is there no matter how small, how routine, or how complex the job.” Rites says Crawford is approved and audited quarterly by third party safety agencies such as ISN, Contractor Check, Browz, and Certisync who help confirm and ensure the company’s safety practices are top notch. The company also works with multiple public sector or- ganizations, focusing its crews and efforts in the GTA and Golden Horseshoe areas, but also travelling as far north as Sudbury and east to Kingston. Rites says Crawford, under the guidance of highly tenured, skilled roofing foremen and management, is able to handle projects involving sensitive building operations including food processing, manufacturing, hospitals and schools. These, he says, require special care both for the activities within the building, but also for occupant and vis- itor safety. Crawford has been involved, for instance, on projects at the Waterloo WWTP (waste water treatment plant), The Hospital for Sick Children, and Thornlea Secondary School. The company has worked with clients including the City of Vaughan, the City of Oakville, the Town of Whitby, the Sim- coe School Board, the District Municipality of Muskoka, the York Region District School Board (YRDS), and the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB).

The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 31 ADVERTORIAL FEATURE , Fleetmatics a Verizon Company, provides mobile workforce solutions Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Fleetmatics, a Verizon company, is a leading global provider of mo- bile workforce solutions designed to help small and medium sized businesses get more out of their vehicles and mobile workers. The company’s fleet manage- ment system, Fleetmatics RE- VEAL TM , pairs GPS vehicle tracking technology with easy to use cloud based software that provides ac- cess to critical vehicle and driver data such as vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage. It also provides insights into a business’ mobile workforce that can help re- duce operating and capital costs, and potentially increase revenue. Todd Ewing, Fleetmatics direc- tor of product marketing, says the company’s success and rapid growth has been driven by its focus on the needs of smaller serv- ice based business. “Service busi- nesses like plumbers and other contractors have very different ve- hicle monitoring needs than big trucking companies that have full- time fleet or operations man- agers,” he said. “Our customers need the same level of accuracy and dependability, but they don’t have hours to spend running re- ports. Our software is designed to provide the information they need at a glance.” Ewing says for the business owner or manager who is active in the field, Fleetmatics REVEAL helps solve the problem of manag- ing the activities of the team, the individual, and the business from the road. “Often the person using this system has other jobs to do, so being able to pull up a map and quickly identify vehicle locations is not only time saving but critical.” That same ease of use, he says, is also available in looking at his- toric and more general information without having to dig through past reports or files. “Our native mobile app for iOS and Android gives users get the same benefits on the road as sitting at their desk.” Keeping people moving throughout the day, rather than stopping constantly to check-in or record activities, means the return on investment in working hours is evident. Other features, like fuel card integration, can achieve cost savings in other ways, by confirm- ing the validity of purchases for in- stance. Another product, Fleetmatics’ WORK TM , provides greater busi- ness function by moving sched- ules, invoicing and quotes into the cloud. “The great thing about our prod- ucts is that they require no upfront installation fee or hardware. Our professional installer can get a client’s team set up quickly and easily and then, if they have ques- tions, our frontline team is available and able to help,” Ewing says. Ewing says because the system updates automatically and trans- parently, customers have access to the most recent updates and fea- tures. Fleetmatics was founded in 2004 and grew into one of the largest fleet tracking providers in the world. In 2016, Fleetmatics was acquired by Verizon Inc.

The company’s acrylic bathtubs, showers, modular bathing systems, shower receptors and fixtures are designed and manufactured with the goals of being healthy, easy to clean, easy to install, and to look good. Ravi Beech, responsible for marketing and business development, founded the company with her mother and aunt based on an interest in creating innovative, Cana- dian made products that would better support the industry. “My father came to Canada with a background in science and began working in plumbing, using science to improve the market,” she said. She says he wanted to provide the mar- ket with plumbing products that were affordable, healthy and environmentally sound and that he was the first to bring the dual flush toilet to B.C.’s lower mainland. At the time, all of the product was outsourced and so quality control was a major concern. Beech launched Valley driven by a desire to see products that were fully Canadian made, where she could be assured of their quality. “Those first two years we were completely focused on research and development, securing details including jetting from Quebec from another female owned manufacturer, (and) 34 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report drains manufactured in Ontario from a family owned busi- ness.” By 2007 the company began selling its unique products, based on its innovative mold design that allows for multi- size products from 30 to 72 inches, adjustable drain loca- tions and a variety of clearances. Many of the company’s lines began with solutions in mind, such as the Life Series line which provides barrier free accessibility and modern design to suit any user. Other lines were inspired by Beech’s personal interest in high fashion, such as the Coco Channel line or the freestanding Stiletto model that resembles a stiletto shoe. Beech says Valley’s custom products are designed to solve plumbing and technical challenges, but also are de- signed to appeal to users. “Our Colour Me series is hand painted by in-house artisans with pop-up colour that can be added in any location.” Did you know we can do custom orders? From lavatory basins, bathtubs to shower bases, enjoy creating your very own style as you select your future bathroom products by Valley.

The collection will include a hand carved, stone tub with storage and an Illumination Se- ries of food-grade entertainment sinks. Beech says this is Valley’s contribution to art and its celebration of what it means to be Canadian. She says the company’s all female drive also means a focus on ensuring a healthier end user environment. That means, right from the healthiest jetting that is available to drain cover solutions that prevent hair build up, attention to cleanliness, healthier water supply and ease of mainte- nance are built into every design. Valley’s 25-member team is multicultural and diverse, says Beech. Members speaks 12 languages and all materi- als are produced in English, French and Spanish to reflect bilingualism in Canada and the U.S. Beech says this is just one way the company works to go the extra mile. Its commitment to the environment is an- other. The company is working on several reclaimed and re- cycled product lines focusing on sustainability with the intent of becoming a zero-waste manufacturer. In 2016 Valley succeeded in preventing about “1,300 kilo- grams of materials from going into landfills with an equiva- lent carbon value of 4.7 tonnes prevented from entering the 36 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report atmosphere by recycling materials rather than producing them again from scratch.” Recycling these materials also saved a total of about 5,800 kilowatt hours of electricity, 24 trees worth of paper and paper products, and a total of nearly 38,000 litres of water. Beech says her long term goal is to one day use materi- als left after renovations as raw materials. “For now, we make our own composites, use recycled materials and buy green when we can.” Valley is also a big contributor to Habitat for Humanity. “We didn’t want to just make bathroom products, we want to be part of the community, part of people’s story. That’s part of why we participate with Habitat, support prostate cancer research and a local program to help single mothers get housing.” Through its wholesale and retail networks, Valley’s prod- uct is available across North America. The company’s prod- ucts have been installed in hotel and condominium projects, multifamily homes and in custom homes and ren- ovation projects. “Our dealers tell us that contractors espe- cially like our lines because of the easy to install instructions and videos that come with every product, including custom designs.” For more information, visit http://www.valleyacrylic.com.

The history of the region spans the ages, from 90 million year old dinosaur tracks, hundreds of years of First Nations history and a century of European homestead his- tory to the World War II era Alaska Highway. The commu- nity is located at the junction of highways 97 and 29 and the CN Rail mainline. 38 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Economic development officer Ellen McAvany says the district is actively involved in several key initiatives aimed at supporting the community and growth opportunities. The Chetwynd & Area Economic Development Commis- sion, for instance received a $48,000 grant from the Min- istry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources (FLNRO) for its 2016-17 Chetwynd and Area Economic Development Strategy (Industrial Review and Impact) Study to focus on updated short and long-term economic development goals. Supporting residents and visitors in their health and recreational pursuits, the Visitor Centre was awarded an almost $4,000 grant, which was used to purchase equip- ment and supplies including bicycles, helmets, game gear and sports equipment available for loan (at no cost) from the Chetwynd Visitor Centre and the Tansi Friendship Cen- tre. “The goal was to create an opportunity for individuals in the community and visitors to experience new activities and share their stories via Chetwynd social media oppor- tunities.” Chetwynd and its outlying areas are home to roughly 7,000 people. The region provides “sustainable opportuni- ties for security, health, safety and prosperity in surrounds that display the best of our natural environment,” which in- cludes “virgin forests, rolling hills, snow-capped moun- tains, undulating fields and crystal clear lakes and rivers.” For more information, visit www.gochetwynd.com.

W The Economic Development Office has also been proac- tively supplying information to industries with inquiries for housing, accommodations, restaurants and additional services during employee intakes for projects planned in the area which include pipeline projects, oil and gas turn- arounds, and intake of needed employees in many sub- trades. “We have also compiled rental and sale listings of com- mercial offices that are available downtown, and commer- cial spaces throughout Chetwynd, including commercial land rentals, sales and industrial land,” she said. She says these initiatives will help attract new busi- nesses for Chetwynd and will support areas experiencing high vacancies. “Our Façade Improvement program provides a grant from Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT) to reno- vate, restore or redesign commercial façades and store- fronts,” McAvany said. “The goal of the program is to encourage owners or tenants of commercial properties to invest in building façade upgrades that create a more in- teresting and appealing streetscape, attracting locals and visitors.” To make finding directions within the community easier, Chetwynd has created tear off maps (Way Finding Strate- gies) to identify key locations such as the medical clinic and college, the recreation centre, and businesses in the downtown and industrial park. McAvanay says recent announcements for increased production from local coal mines, the resumption of wind project development, steady growth in the Montney gas field and the resurgence in the local forest industry have resulted in low unemployment levels. “All our industries are recovering at the same rate, which has resulted in Chetwynd posting one of the fastest growing economies in B.C.” A recent column from Chetwynd mayor Merlin Nichols commented on recent increased truck traffic, noting: “Con- uma Coal has reactivated the idled Walter Energy mines putting scores of workers back in the pits and behind the wheels. All that is good for our economy and we are happy for the increased regional employment and other opportu- nities that mining activity brings in its wake. Residents of Tumbler Ridge, Chetwynd and Peace River Regional Dis- trict are the main direct beneficiaries with a huge spinoff effect on local businesses.” RE IND US T: 250.401.4113 E: emcavany@gochetwynd.com gochetwynd.com gochetwynd .com The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 39 TOP TEN EDO St. Thomas Southwestern Ontario community develops as a small city with big ideas Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature Located in the heart of southwestern Ontario, St. Thomas is a “small city with big ideas” surrounded by pic- turesque towns, lakeside villages, historic hamlets and just a short distance from London and the beaches of Lake Erie. Established in 1956, the St. Thomas Economic Devel- opment Corp. (STEDC) is one of the longest running organ- izations of its kind in the country. While its mission may have changed over time, the focus has always been on supporting the community. STEDC general manager Sean Dyke says the organiza- tion was initially formed to ease the process of growth and to provide top level service to business and industry look- ing to locate in the city. “Our current mission is to enhance the quality of life for all citizens of St. Thomas by attracting, retaining and grow- ing our industrial and commercial sectors, which will result in increased employment opportunities and assessment,” he said. “Our efforts include business attraction and reten- 40 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report tion, community outreach, marketing and promotion, tourism, small business development and community de- velopment.” Dyke says when he started in his current role, it was ev- ident the city had to become more community focused, while still working to attract new business and helping ex- isting businesses grow. With that in mind, in 2013, the cor- poration added Railway City Tourism to the organization. “We began working to increase awareness of the Railway City brand through tourism, in the hopes of increasing vis- itation, recognition and economic development in the city.” The branding as a Railway City is a reflection of the growth of St. Thomas over time as more than two dozen railways passed through the region. Dyke says the historic rail connection emphasizes the importance of location. “Being situated midway between Toronto and Detroit, in the heart of Canada’s industrial and agricultural heartland and minutes from the City of London, St. Thomas has benefitted greatly on all fronts, from indus- trial to commercial to residential as the city has seen steady growth, even in turbulent times.” While the focus in the city has shifted over time, from rail, to automotive assembly and parts manufacturing, and now to advanced manufacturing, he says the city has al- ways quickly adapted thanks in part to a solid, well trained and available labour force with access to multiple univer- sities and colleges with excellent training programs. “Our available, reasonably priced land and buildings within easy reach of Highways 401, 402 and 403 and an evolved solid supply chain that supports multiple industrial sectors, have also factored in.” Dyke says many unique products and technologies are developed each year through local industry, “from auto body panels formed using a sheet metal hydroforming process that creates shapes previously thought to be im- possible, to technology that allowed the relighting of the Statue of Liberty after it was extinguished in a hurricane, to robot lines that make cherry picking easier and more ef- ficient for farmers, to military products that keep us safe, to trout processing and award winning beer.” He says that the city anticipates continued industrial growth, with major recreational and infrastructure projects underway that follow recent institutional investments, which included new and renovated elementary schools, a provincial government investment in the city’s courthouse, and a major redevelopment of the western portion of the downtown. “The new outdoor recreation complex that will begin de- velopment this year will improve the community’s access to quality sports fields and outdoor activity areas and con- tribute to an even better quality of life in the city.” A major expansion to the St. Thomas Elgin General Hos- pital, the addition of a new seniors’ facility, a new police station, and the addition of new paths and trails throughout the city are also underway. “We also have on the books a new memorial park to honour our veterans and the private development of Canada’s first Elevated Park.” The EDC is also responsible for the Elgin St. Thomas Small Business Enterprise Centre. This, he says, has given the organization the ability to operate at far more of a grassroots level and has been a real driver for the #stthomasproud campaign. “Our team at the St. Thomas EDC is small but mighty, with only a general manager, economic development offi- cer, enterprise centre manager, business advisor and tourism co-ordinator to run all of the programs that we do here. This team has been very successful in the last few years and I am personally extremely pleased to be working with such a passionate and effective group of people.” Over the last year and a half, the EDC has received sev- eral key awards, including the Free Enterprise Award of Merit from the St. Thomas and District Chamber of Com- merce, a silver award for Video/Multimedia Promotion from the International Economic Development Council (IEDC), a Marketing Canada Award from the Economic De- velopment Association of Canada (EDAC) for Online Com- munity Outreach, and an Award of Excellence from the Economic Developers Council of Ontario for Technology and New Media. “We are especially proud of being recog- nized with the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Marketing Excellence in Ontario – truly a “best in class” award in the province. All of these awards came as a result of our team’s hard work on the #stthomasproud campaign.” For more information, visit http://st-thomas.org. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 41 TOP TEN EDO The Clarington Board of Trade and Office of Economic Development: Proactive Players in the Strategic Game of Growth Clarington Board of Trade and Office of Economic Development staff: Jessica Som- merville, research and marketing lead; Tanya Albis, membership and program lead; Sheila Hall, executive director; Bonnie Wrightman, manager of business development. The Municipality of Clarington, within the Region of Durham, is host- ing three of the top 100 largest infra- structure projects in Canada – Darlington Nuclear refurbishment, Port Granby Project and the extension of the 407 east to Hwy 35/115. Clarington is also positioned for growth as there will be economic ben- efits resulting from the future exten- sion of the GO Train to Clarington. Walking through the door at the Clarington Board of Trade and Office of Economic Development (CBOT), Sheila Hall, executive director for CBOT, says one will encounter a team driven by purpose, professionalism and passion. CBOT does not take economic im- pact for granted, she says, or wait for the benefits the community may ex- perience, rather the team proactively engages and facilitates connections to opportunity. “This philosophy ap- plies to the way we operate, challeng- ing status quo every day as we support existing and future business investment.” According to Hall, CBOT is a unique hands-on model that performs two functions: Board of trade (chamber) member services and economic de- velopment initiatives. In 1998 a taskforce was created by Clarington Mayor Hamre, and the de- cision was made to contract the serv- ices of economic development to the Clarington Board of Trade. The philos- ophy behind this decision was to embed a business approach to eco- nomic development. For nearly 20 years, Hall says, this model has been supported through the leadership of four successive mayors and councils, Contractors Breakfast: connecting local suppliers to local projects. 42 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report as well as supported by the business community and past CBOT directors and presidents who are also members of the business community. “CBOT has earned the respect and trust of peers, clients and stakehold- ers, and has not taken these relation- ships for granted.” Services provided range from pro- gramming for businesses to connect to opportunity, learn, grow, and gain insights into operational cost savings; to business retention and attraction initiatives; youth engagement; facili- tating the development process; sup- ply chain support; business and real estate tours; and being a one-stop business resource.“Our business is to support business,” she says. Growth Turning Heads Consisting of the communities of Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle, Orono and 14 hamlets, Clarington is a lakeshore community with a popula- tion approaching 95,000. With more than 1,500 businesses and growing, Clarington offers what Hall says in- vestors desire – affordable serviced land, proximity to market and ameni- ties, business support and an en- gaged community. Three large infrastructure projects are well underway - Darlington Nu- clear refurbishment, Port Granby re- mediation project and 407 east extension. Combined, these projects represent $14 billion in investment and the creation of thousands of jobs. There is a commitment from Metrolinx and the province of Ontario to extend the GO Train to Bowmanville, to be in service by 2024. This will cre- ate two new stations in Oshawa, one in Courtice and one in Bowmanville. Hall says it is estimated that more than 60 development sites will surround these stations, creating opportunity for investment and job creation. The Municipality of Clarington is in discussions, she says, with the Min- istry of Transportation (MTO) to fast- track the Waverley Rd./Hwy 401 interchange improvements to in- crease safety, accessibility and pave the way for new economic invest- ment. A large commercial real estate company has approached the munici- pality with interest in constructing a large commercial development just west of the Waverley Rd. interchange. Two other large projects will benefit from the interchange upgrades, a Comfort Inn Hotel currently under con- struction, as well as plans to construct a Suncor-Petro Canada Service Station. These investments will result in more than 1,500 new jobs. Construction of the large commercial development would also generate approximately 1,000 person years of employment across Ontario which includes a signif- icant portion within Clarington. The municipality is requesting that MTO includes the interchange improve- Salit Steel’s crane runway to increase efficiency and maximize inventory space. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 43 ments in its five-year plan, fourteen years ahead of schedule. “A collabora- tive partnership with government and private sector stakeholders is key to moving this project forward,” says Hall. Commitment to Clarington In the last year, existing Clarington business have invested millions in ex- pansions with the upgrading and pur- chasing of new machinery and equipment, training and hiring. For ex- ample, in 2016, Salit Steel in Bow- manville invested in a new crane runway and new 14,000 sq. ft. build- ing. “We’ve invested in Bowmanville because we have a tremendous amount of confidence in the direction that Clarington is headed. We have identified Bowmanville as an area in which we want to be long term. With infrastructure already being built, we foresee good economic growth ahead,” said Michael Cohen, branch manager of Salit Steel Bowmanville Plant. Economic activity is creating in- creased attention to Clarington, ac- cording to Bonnie Wrightman, manager of business development for CBOT. In 2015, 25 inquiries from busi- nesses to locate or expand in Claring- ton came through the CBOT office. Eighty inquiries were received in 2016. To date in 2017, CBOT has received 30 inquiries direct from business, or from commercial realtors. “CBOT antici- pates the number of expressions of in- terest to greatly exceed 2016 numbers by the end of the year,” Wrightman says. Businesses are looking for anything from 800 to 500,000 sq. ft. of space and one to more than 50 acres of land. “We work with the real estate commu- nity to provide space options for busi- ness and help meet their needs from space inquiry to grand opening. We also enjoy helping business and their employees integrate into the commu- nity,” says Wrightman. Hall says CBOT considers it a privi- lege to be a part of Clarington’s growth. “We are committed to maxi- mizing opportunities, making connec- tions and supporting established, and future business.” CBOT also recognizes the impor- tance of celebrating growth and dedi- cation of the existing business community. Hall says CBOT makes a point of telling Clarington’s story through various communication ven- ues, through presentations, at events, newsletters, media outlets, and through social media. Creating aware- ness of successes and opportunity is essential when trying to attract invest- ment and facilitate partnerships. “Sup- porting business is not our job, it is our passion,” she says.

In 2004, at the age of 27, he founded ICE Development Ltd. Today, as president of this growing project management and construc- tion management firm, he leads his team, tackling significant B.C. commercial and in- dustrial projects. After completing a degree in computer programming from BCIT (British Columbia Institute of Technology), Sangha established himself within the dot com world and, he says, foresaw where the tech industry was going. He first developed the business that led to ICE Develop- ments in 2003. Sangha got into the real estate market, start- ing with housing projects, moving to condominiums and commercial and industrial projects. His self-taught knowl- edge comes from being, in his words, “Hands-on so I would be helping out wherever I could, asking questions, and learning from the trades as we went.” The knowledge he picked up in construction has the same principle foundation as project management – dele- gation, understanding the different stages required, and en- suring each task is delivered and comes together as expected, he says. Sangha says the key to ICE Development’s success comes from principles of providing honest client care, fos- tering relationships, and a dynamic team. A focal compo- nent of the organization “is to simply make life easier for project managers by ensuring that projects are run effi- ciently and effectively.” His hands-on approach, from the project’s conceptual- ization to its conclusion, is evident in results with the City of Richmond, the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB), as well as restaurant chains and hotels. Currently some of ICE Development’s proj- ects include a 29,000 sq. ft. flagship store for BCLDB and a 90-unit hotel in Merritt, B.C. The ICE team fosters a corporate culture of growth and learning, he says. He encourages an open exchange of ideas and candid cri- tiques to encourage the team’s evolution and his own as well. “If I’m doing something wrong, unless someone tells me, I’ll keep doing it. I’m always asking what I can do better, what we as a company can do better,” he says. Sangha isn’t shy when it comes to crediting his col- leagues. He says emphatically that it is because of ICE’s staff that “people come back to us and we have these re- lationships.” In 2012, Sangha changed the company’s business model to focus on general contracting and project manage- ment. He spent a year rebranding and since that time the company has grown, in staff, in capacity, and in reputation. “In the early days, it was me and a few support staff. Now we are close to 50 and generally have 20 to 30 active proj- ects at a time, with several others in various stages of esti- mating and approval.” Sangha says he expects the business will continue its growth path over the next few years. He says he tells peo- ple he would like to be the next PCL in the next five to 10 years. “My dad taught me that respect and reputation have to be earned. With every project we take on, that is the goal, to earn respect and to continue to grow our reputation for being able to deliver projects successfully.” For more information on ICE Development, visit http://ICEdevelopment.net.

After a suc- cessful career in film and television production, a decision to study project management, and then a shift of direc- tion to construction, he is now CEO and co-founder of True North Labour Inc., a Burnaby based staffing agency providing skilled workers to trade con- tractors in the ICI construction industry. Cuerrier says obtaining his project management certification definitely opened doors. When now business partner Alex Nuhiyev approached him though for an opinion and evaluation of his business proposal, his course was set. Incorporated in 2015, True North was born out of an awareness that temporary agencies often did not have the necessary knowledge to assign the right workers to the right jobs. While modelled after a temporary agency, responsible for placing roughly 120 workers on average a week regularly, and closer to 300 dur- ing busy times, True North fulfills that need by building a workforce of peo- ple “who are skilled, accountable and who are satisfied because they feel like they belong to a community of professionals.” The company provides its special- ized labour to a variety of projects, in- cluding many large projects for large clients. He says in the beginning, there was definite hesitation to trust that True North could deliver, in part per- haps based on Cuerrier’s own age, as well as the relative newness of the company. With persistence and con- sistently demonstrating skill and knowledge over time, that has changed. Cuerrier says co-founding True North has been his greatest accom- plishment to date. As the company fi- nalizes plans to acquire two other companies sometime this year, that accomplishment grows. Formerly secretary of the Vancou- ver Regional Construction Associa- tion’s (VRCA) U-40 Council, Cuerrier has now stepped into a three-year pro- gression plan that will move him from vice-chair to chair to past chair. He also works as a member of VRCA’s Ed- ucation Committee.“We have monthly visits to students who are starting to think about next stages in education and future careers, with the goal of demystifying construction and giving them information about the industry and potential careers so they can con- sider all of their options.” Cuerrier calls construction a beau- tiful career opportunity filled with di- verse and challenging opportunities. On a more personal level, Cuerrier and a partner have teamed up with a local organization and, beginning in May, will share their passion for cross- fit with youth with autism. “I have a brother with autism,” he said. “Many people with autism like movement, and like community envi- ronments. Too often though they can have shorter lifespans because they don’t exercise or are in other ways un- healthy.” His goal in giving back is to offer a modified version of the program that will be fun and engaging, and give back to a community that is dear to him. As a young person succeeding in his chosen career, being involved in the industry, and giving back, Cuerrier offers some advice. “It’s important to continue to learn and grow and not to be afraid to make mistakes. Most often there is no ‘doing it right the first time’ so you just have to get up and keep going. Don’t let mistakes or set- backs stop you because whatever they are, it isn’t the end of the world.” For more information about True North Labour, visit http://truenorthlabour.com/. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 47 WOMEN IN HOMEBUILDING Claire Seymour builds skills and overcomes challenges with B.C. builder after travelling from Australia Canadian Design and Construction Special Feature BY BRICE FERRE STUDIO - VANCOUVER PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER 48 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Growing up in Australia with three older brothers and a father who was a design consultant for construction proj- ects, Claire Seymour learned at a young age to be handy and that being outside, getting dirty and helping out were all okay. Today she is a construction manager with B.C. based Lacey Developments Ltd. While in Australia, Seymour studied project and small business management. A boyfriend who was a Red Seal car- penter and master of all trades got her involved helping with a variety of his projects. When she arrived in Canada in 2006 on a 12-month work visa, a friend hooked her up with her current employer, who needed assistance for a few weeks working on an off-the-grid cabin. “Erik (Lacey – president of Lacey Developments) realized that I knew how to use power tools and I guess he saw my potential. As Erik’s company started to grow I transitioned out of working on site as much and started helping him man- age projects. I completed a construction management course and now I look after all of our new custom housing projects.” Seymour says while it is likely many women in male dom- inated industries have stories about certain people not giv- ing them a chance or not believing in them, her own experiences always made her even more determined to prove that she knew what she was talking about, knew what she was doing and that she could do the same or better than any guy. “I found that once I proved myself to people, they were my biggest supporters from that moment forward – whether these people were co-workers or clients. Today I’m lucky enough to have the reputation I do so I don’t often experi- ence that doubt from anyone.” She says there have been times where she has been left second guessing herself and what she’s doing but there have also been times when she feels proud. Thankfully, she says, the better times outweigh the bad and “the way I see it, the bad give you that extra boost to keep going and do things better.” Seymour says Erik and his wife Lesa have always been very supportive. “Erik has always let me try anything, and knew if I didn’t have it in me, I would tell him or ask for help. He gave me every chance and opportunity that he could – and probably more than I even know about.” “Both of them treat their staff like members of their family and I think if you all have that mutual respect and ambition to succeed then success is inevitable. I always consider our clients to be part of this too. Even though they only work with you for several months.” Seymour says construction is always evolving and since no two projects are alike, you have to take something from every job, every co-worker and every client. Every client gives her things to strive for and things to admire, she says, as do the people she works with on a continuous basis. “Seeing other women succeeding always gets me in- spired, and I’m lucky enough to have many influential women around me – whether they are succeeding in career or family or physical training – it’s something to admire and inspire.” Lesa Lacey, for instance, is currently CHBA (Canadian Home Builders’ Association) Fraser Valley president. “That to me is the epitome of a woman succeeding right there. I know there are quite a few very powerful women involved with the CHBA and that is awesome to see.” She says she loves the variety of the work – that no two days are ever the same and no two homes are the same. Building homes in unique styles, working closely with clients and maintaining that contact even after they move into the home are all the best parts of the work. Seymour says she hopes she brings some balance to the team through her focus on details and organizational skills. She says, since many times women are involved in making the decisions when it comes to a new home or ren- ovation, she has the opportunity to connect with them in a different way. “I think often a woman can feel overwhelmed dealing with technical aspects that she has no knowledge of and doesn’t understand. I believe they feel more comfortable knowing that as a woman, I can see that and guide them through that – while at the same time being able to answer all of her husband’s/boyfriend’s more technical questions and requests. I definitely think this is a totally different as- pect to what it would be if there were a man in my place.” That fits in with Seymour’s belief that no job should be for “her” or for “him” but more about who would bring something and add to that position. “Who can do the job and who can succeed in that position... if you can’t see yourself being an asset and promoting yourself and the company, then what’s the point?” For Seymour, the long hours and learning the discipline required to take time off and away from work have been her biggest personal challenges. As is the case for many in the industry, there have also been difficult financial times. Seymour says when the econ- omy crashed in 2008, Lacey, along with the rest of the Fraser Valley, experienced tough times. “People weren’t ren- ovating or building new homes and those who were had builders stretching themselves way too thin and underbid- ding to the point where it was creating financial strains.” The company had to adapt and come together to learn the best way to progress forward and what had to be done differently. “I’m proud of all of those moments of turning the overwhelming moments into opportunities. It forced our team to come together and succeed together. Who we are as a team today is something to be proud of for sure.” Her advice to anyone considering a career in the field is to work hard and believe in yourself. “We will all have our moments of weakness where we think we can’t do it but nobody ever succeeded without sacrifices and determina- tion. Take the hard times and learn from them to better yourself and eventually everything will turn around.” Lacey Developments has been recognized with several prestigious awards in the last few years – including 2017 CHBA Fraser Valley Residential Renovator of the Year, 2016 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence winner for Best Whole Home Renovation, 2014 National SAM Finalist and 2013 Georgie Finalist. “I was heavily involved in all of these projects so it makes the celebrations just that little bit more special. My other success was getting my Canadian citizenship last year which I am super proud of.” LACEY DEVELOPMENTS LTD. 10811 Brooks Road, Deroche V0M 1G0 Phone: (604) 826-2215 Fax: (604) 814-2749 Email: info@laceydevelopments.com www.laceydevelopments.com The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 49 NEWS BRIEFS BRITISH COLUMBIA Vancouver permit and development applications delayed because of high volume The City of Vancouver says develop- ment and building permit wait times have increased significantly because of a high volume of building and develop- ment permit applications. The city says it received 8,300 per- mit applications, the second highest volume of applications to date – and, along with more complicated project proposals, has caused the wait time for a low density permit (for simple new houses and renovations) to increase from nine weeks to almost 29 weeks. “We’ve done more and more over the past few years to enable laneway housing and accessory dwellings,” Kaye Krishna, the city’s general man- ager of development, buildings and li- cencing, has told CBC. “We went from what used to be fairly simple single- family homes to much more compli- cated developments.” “With that, there are some more rules but there is also just learning that’s taken place between industry and staff on how to best do that.” Krishna said she and city planner Gil Kelley have listened to stakeholders about what the “pain points” are in the development permit process and her team is working on simplifying policies and regulations for low density applica- tions. She said initiatives to simplify and speed up the process could take a “long time” especially when housing demand is projected to grow in the re- gion. “Development is hard and it’s al- ways striking a balance between quality, safety, real creativity and de- sign, and speed,” she said. CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA Vancouver firm receives RAIC Emerging Architectural Practice Award The nine person Vancouver D’Arcy Jones Architecture (DJA) firm has been named as recipient of the 2017 Emerg- ing Architectural Practice Award from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). Projects include hous- ing, art galleries, interiors, renovations and commercial spaces. “The body of work is consistently outstanding and innovative,” said the six member selection jury. “The skillful integration of interior and exterior spaces is particularly well executed, re- sulting in an architecture that is po- etic.” The award recognizes the principals of an emerging architectural practice that has consistently produced distin- guished architecture, the RAIC said in its March 7 announcement. The award recognizes the quality of built work, service to clients, innovations in prac- tice and public recognition. “The work demonstrates a thorough understanding of construction,” said the jury. “The projects are carefully and intensely detailed. They show thought- ful attention to creating spatial variety.” The award will be presented at the RAIC/OAA (Ontario Association of Ar- chitects) Festival of Architecture in Ot- tawa in late May. Ironworkers back Liberal premier The Ironworkers Union local 97 has decided to support Liberal premier Christy Clark before the upcoming B.C. election campaign, saying her govern- ment’s job plan is better than the NDP’s. Ironworkers’ International business manager Doug Parton says the NDP’s opposition to major projects that in- 50 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report clude the Site C dam, George Massey Bridge and proposed LNG projects hurt the job prospects for the union’s 1,800 members in B.C., The Canadian Press and CBC have reported. “My members for years have been a labour party. What has happened in the past has made my members very concerned,” Parton said. “We may not agree with Premier Christy Clark on every issue, or the B.C. Liberals, but we believe their plan for economic growth, for apprenticeship training and all the lunch bucket, kitchen table issues that affect our members are the right ones for us,” he said. Clark was at the Ironworkers’ an- nouncement at a Victoria condo- minium construction site, wearing a hard hat and surrounded by about two dozen workers. ALBERTA Stimulus fund delays slowing construction spending The Alberta government’s third- quarter fiscal update for 2016-17 re- leased in March shows that capital spending will be $7.3 billion, $1.2 bil- lion below the projections in last spring’s provincial budget. The update says 36 of 149 projects are facing delays, with Education De- partment capital spending down $573 million. Infrastructure minister Brian Mason said in an interview with PostMedia that the estimate will need to be re- vised but defended the stimulus. “It is working and it is going to work better as we go. So, clearly, there’s a few bumps and some unexpected cir- cumstances beyond our control and we’re going to overcome those things,” he said. Mason said there is not one single issue that has slowed infrastructure. However, wet weather and last spring’s massive wildfires delayed some projects. As well there have been savings in some areas. For exam- ple, Calgary’s southwest ring road turned out to be $126 million below budget. The NDP government also says its capital spending is still $1 billion higher than the average over the last five years. Arup opens Calgary office as it works on major new cancer centre project Two teams have been shortlisted to participate in an RFP to provide design and construction services for the can- cer centre project. PCL Construction Management and EllisDon Construc- tion Services are preparing proposal packages and the successful bidder will be announced in mid-2017. Located on the corner of 16th Av- enue and 29 th St. N.W. it is a huge proj- ect requiring a massive building excavation, a 1,650-stall parking struc- ture, roadways and complete integra- tion with the Foothills Medical Centre. Construction is scheduled to begin later this year and continue through 2023 and will create hundreds of jobs. The centre is expected to open in 2024, the Herald reported. Edmonton construction building boom stays on schedule despite cold conditions Multinational professional services firm Arup has opened a Calgary office after it was selected as the bridging consultant for the new Calgary Cancer Centre project. The office leader will be senior project manager Mike Durtnell. The firm started with aviation plan- ning before growing into a fully inte- grated multidisciplinary practice with more than 200 employees working on projects across Canada. The size and complexity of Cal- gary’s new cancer centre required Arup staff be on the ground in the city, the Calgary Herald has reported. Durt- nall and Marshall Tittemore Architects have developed a team space within the architectural firm’s offices. Durtnall studied to be a land sur- veyor and worked with the National Health Service in England in the design and construction of healthcare facilities there. He joined Arup in 2007, working from its London head office on U.K. projects and others in Dubai, China and Hong Kong. While Edmonton is enjoying a downtown construction boom, the city and contractors are adapting to the conditions and keeping the work on schedule, Metro News reports. Jesse Banford, the city’s director of facility infrastructure delivery, said en- gagement with contractors and plan- ners takes into consideration harsh outdoor work environments – and that “cold construction” techniques and strategies are keeping the jobs on time and workers safe. Banford said the Stantec Tower, the Stanley Milner Library and the River Valley funicular projects have all not been disturbed by the harsh weather. “You will see cranes swinging in winter, spring, summer and fall,” he said. Jack Ashton, a program manager for the downtown arena project said new innovations are fighting the cold, like prefabricating components off site, which allows contractors to work around frigid temperatures on the in- side while outside work may be forced to slowdown. He said entire walls can be prebuilt, while concrete cures in temperatures well below zero. SASKATCHEWAN Saskatchewan Construction Association urges managed provincial deficit Mark Cooper, president and CEO of the Saskatchewan Construction Asso- ciation, says the association is calling on the provincial government to run a managed deficit in 2017-2018. “Running a managed deficit means having a clear multi-year plan to return to surplus budgeting,” Cooper wrote in a letter to the Regina Leader-Post. “It means investing in the areas that will sustain growth. It means making re- sponsible and necessary cuts, without damaging essential services or ham- pering growth. It means responsible revenue management that modernizes tax policy over several years, without shocking the economy. A managed deficit is responsible, proactive and for- ward looking.” “Our message — one we heard echoed by the people of Saskatchewan during our broad based #TransformSK consultations in the last four months — is clear: Let’s keep investing in the fu- ture of Saskatchewan; let’s keep build- ing our province; and let’s reaffirm that our best days are still ahead,” Cooper wrote. Saskatoon building activity slows Saskatoon based construction com- panies started work on just 31 new multiunit projects in the first two months of 2017, down 73 per cent from the 115 recorded in the same pe- riod last year, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. has reported. As well, building permit data compiled by the Saskatoon and Region Home Builders’ Association (SRHBA) shows 25 multifamily permits were issued in January, down 72 per cent from the 90 recorded in the same month last year. CMHC senior market analyst Good- son Mwale said overbuilding, weak eco- nomic conditions and slowing migration have led to record levels of “completed and unabsorbed” apartments and con- dos — 375 last month compared to the five-year average of 145. The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 51 NEWS BRIEFS “All these projects were planned ahead of time, and when things were a little bit rosier,” Mwale said, noting that while there is optimism about an economic recovery in 2017, “a little bit of apprehension” remains among the city’s builders. Slowing construction across Saska- toon - the number of housing starts recorded so far in 2017 trails last year’s total by 46 per cent, while building per- mits are down 52 per cent — has likely been felt by the city’s residential con- struction sector as well, Mwale said. Statistics Canada reported last month that Saskatchewan’s construc- tion industry lost 4,300 of its roughly 50,000 jobs over the previous 12 months - the single biggest year over year decline recorded by any industry in the province. MANITOBA Endenshaw Developments to co-develop Winnipeg’s SkyCity with Fortress Real Developments Fortress Real Developments says that the company has signed on Eden- shaw Developments Ltd. as a co-devel- oper on SkyCity Centre Winnipeg. With a groundbreaking slated for later this spring, the team has been working behind the scenes to move the project towards construction. “We have been excited about this project right out of the gates,” Fortress chief operating officer Vince Petrozza said in a statement. “With such a large CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA and complex tower, we always antici- pated the need to add a co-developer for this project, to bring it across the finish line. After meeting with Eden- shaw we knew right away they were the perfect fit for this task.” Edenshaw, based in Toronto, is a multi-faceted real estate company with Winnipeg ties of its own. “When Fortress came to us with the proposal to work together on this proj- ect, I was excited,” Edenshaw presi- dent and CEO David McComb said. “I have been in the industry for years and developed projects in Canada’s two major markets, Toronto and Vancouver, but this was a unique opportunity for me to be a part of something iconic in a place I used to call home.” McComb, born in Winnipeg, will lead the consultant teams on the proj- ect and will work with all municipal de- partments to bring this development through to construction and then com- pletion. “We are thrilled to have such a pas- sionate, experienced team join us in this endeavour to create what we be- lieve will become the landmark of the city,” said Fortress president and CEO Jawad Rathore. “The team has already hit the ground running, and together we are focused on delivering this iconic tower which will add to the fab- ric of the newly revitalized downtown.” The 45-storey tower was brought to market in the fall of 2015 and currently has achieved more than 50 per cent of the residential sales. Red River College announces new program to train newcomers for construction jobs 52 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report A new Red River College program in Winnipeg is providing essential lan- guage and construction skills training to refugees and newcomers to Mani- toba who arrived in the past year, Man- itoba education and training minister Ian Wishart has announced. “As we’ve seen in recent months, there’s a growing need to provide sup- port for refugees in a variety of ways including direct employment and labour market programming,” said Wishart. “We commend Red River Col- lege for its vision in developing this im- portant program, which will link newcomers with employment opportu- nities and allow them to develop the skills they need to succeed in the work- force.” The new, four-month Pathway Pro- gram to Construction Skills will focus on developing essential language skills, safety training and basic con- struction skills training in the areas of drywalling, masonry and flat-top roof- ing. Following the completion of the program, students will participate in a paid month long, full-time work place- ment to further refine their skills and gain essential on the job experience, with the goal to support long-term em- ployment, Wishart said. Twenty students are currently en- rolled in the first intake of the program from countries including Syria, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. A second intake is being planned for September with similar op- portunities in Manitoba’s construction sector, Wishart said in a news release. ONTARIO OCS Construction Confidence Index anticipates growth in 2017 The economic outlook for Ontario’s construction industry is positive and confidence has increased across the province, according to findings from the 2017 Construction Confidence Indi- cator, an annual survey of construction contractors conducted by the Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS). With a score of 60 out of 100, the confidence indicator reveals a majority of Ontario’s construction firms expect to conduct more business this year than last. The indicator was released as part of the OCS’s 17th annual State of the Industry & Outlook Conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on March 9. “Increased construction activity is always a good sign for the overall economy and things are decidedly looking better for Ontario in 2017,” said OCS CEO Sean Strickland. “We’re see- ing a couple of possible explanations for the boost in optimism like invest- ments in major infrastructure projects across the province and an improved economy south of the border.” CONSTRUCTION CONFIDENCE SURVEY 2017 The annual Construction Confidence Survey, conducted by the Ontario Construction Secretariat (OCS), measures the overall health of Ontario’s construction economy and the industry’s outlook for 2017. Here, based on 500 interviews with contractors across the province, is what you need to know about the economic engine of growth that is construction in 2017.

Northern Ontario reports the lowest confidence with a score of 57, however, optimism has nevertheless improved since 2016. Significant in- vestment is being made in post-sec- ondary education facilities in Northern Ontario including major projects at Lau- rentian University, Canadore and Con- federation College. Dawn Desjardins, deputy chief economist of RBC, who delivered the conference’s keynote address, says the findings aren’t surprising. “Ontario’s economy beat the na- tional average increase in real GDP growth in both 2015 and 2016 and we expect 2017 will mark the year Ontario was the fastest growing province,” said Desjardins. “Fiscal stimulus and consumer spending will be key sup- ports in 2017 and will likely lead busi- nesses to pick up the pace of investment activity as the year pro- gresses.” The Construction Confidence Indica- tor analyzes expectations of growth across five construction sectors – in- dustrial, commercial, engineering/civil, institutional and high-rise residential. The results show that across the province in the non-residential sector, contractors expect to see the most growth in the engineering/civil cate- gory with 43 per cent of respondents anticipating “significant growth” in 2017. Expectations for “significant growth” in this sector are highest in Eastern Ontario at 57 per cent. Contractors expect the high-rise res- idential sector to be a stronger per- former in 2017. Overall across Ontario, 45 per cent of contractors anticipate “significant growth” in this sector. Kitchener-Waterloo leads the province in high-rise residential optimism with 63 per cent of contractors anticipating “significant growth,” most likely a di- rect spin-off from the construction of new light rail transit. Despite the boost in overall confi- dence, nearly half of the 500 contrac- tors surveyed report they expect the Trump presidency to have a negative or harmful effect on Ontario’s economy and construction industry. This senti- ment is most acute in Windsor-Sarnia where 59 per cent of respondents be- lieve Trump’s government will harm Ontario’s economy. Alternatively, opinion in Hamilton-Ni- agara appears polarized with 40 per cent of firms forecasting the Trump presidency will have a positive impact on Ontario’s economy and 44 per cent predicting a negative effect. Three common sources of concern include increased construction material costs, negative impact on the manufacturing industry and decreasing investment in projects due to economic uncertainty. The confidence indicator also looks at employment trends. This year’s sur- vey shows an 11 per cent increase in apprenticeship employment in the unionized construction sector over the past two years, while the non-union- ized sector has only seen a three per cent increase. Eighty-three per cent of unionized firms employ apprentices compared to 49 per cent of non-union firms. Ottawa to begin discussions on light rail link with Western Quebec, ignoring MOOSE initiative Ottawa City Council has started vi- sualizing connecting the city’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) system to Gatineau across the Prince of Wales bridge, though none of the public documenta- tion about this process has made any mention of the MOOSE Consortium’s private sector initiative to turn that bridge into the linchpin for a commer- cially financed regional passenger rail service connecting 16 Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec municipalities. Council approved a motion to “di- rect staff to continue to work with their counterparts in the City of Gatineau, to explore potential enhancements to public transit and active mobility con- nections between Ottawa and Gatineau including, but not limited to, the future use of the Prince of Wales Bridge to inform the next update to the Transportation Master Plan.” The motion, introduced by Council- lor Keith Egli, also asks Mayor Jim Wat- The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 53 NEWS BRIEFS son to formalize the exploratory discus- sions with Gatineau about the bridge, which the city owns through the Capi- tal Railway. However, MOOSE has sought Cana- dian Transportation Agency (CTA) sta- tus to become Canada’s first new independent federally incorporated rail- way in a century, and it hopes to use the bridge as the connection point for its proposed commercially operated whole region transit system to link to- gether the individual municipal sys- tems, and which would be funded through landowner fees based on the expected appreciation of real estate values at about 50 independent East- ern Ontario and Western Quebec sta- tions. MOOSE, lead by economist Joseph Potvin, believes that it can operate under federal regulations on the tracks owned by the city (over the Prince of Wales Bridge) and other railroads, pay- ing a conventional lease fee for use of the tracks. It also proposes to finance the estimated $50 million cost in refur- bishing the bridge to make it suitable for reactivated conventional inter-city rail transit, including separated cycling and pedestrian paths off of each side. However, in autumn 2016 Ottawa’s LRT contractors, in working around the Bayview Station, tore out a short sec- tion of track for the east-west line that MOOSE would have used for its inter- provincial rail link between Ottawa and Gatineau. MOOSE has filed a com- plaint to the federal regulator saying this track removal violates federal law, and the regulatory decision on the issue is expected by the end of March. Greg Clunie leads OCA as 2017 chair D&G Landscaping president Greg Clunie will lead the Ottawa Construc- tion Association (OCA) as its 2017 chair. An economics graduate of Carleton University and a Queen’s MBA candi- date who will earn his designation this spring, Clunie has enjoyed a long con- struction industry career. He founded D&G Landscaping, a heavy civil land- CONSTRUCTION ACROSS CANADA scaping firm, in 1987 and has since gone on to establish three other con- struction businesses. During the prime construction season, the companies employ more than 200 people. “I am honoured to be elected chair of the OCA and I look forward to work- ing with the members of the OCA board of directors and staff over the course of the next 122 months,” Clunie said in a statement. “This year, in which we celebrate Canada’s 150th anniver- sary, will be a very exciting time in Ot- tawa. Our members look forward to a strong capital budget from the City of Ottawa and the commencement of nu- merous private and public sector mega projects that will forever change the face of the city.” Clunie said he will continue the work of his predecessors. Specifically, he plans to continue dialogue with the City of Ottawa to ensure that OCA members are best prepared to benefit from federal and provincial infrastruc- ture investments. He also plans to pro- mote executive education and leadership development. “I want to be very clear that I have every confidence in the skills and abili- ties of the NRPS and in particular Det. Sgt. Paul Spiridi,” the chief wrote. “That said, I concede that it is possible that due to the amount of public attention this matter is receiving, a perception of conflict may be held by some.” Niagara’s regional council recently re- ceived a draft copy of a forensic audit report by Deloitte Canada about the bridge project, where costs have bal- looned to more than $90 million from the original $59 million estimate. The project was designed by con- sulting engineer Parsons, and the bridge’s general contractor is Pomer- leau Construction. Other project part- ners include Canam-Bridges, a division of Canam Group Inc., the steel contrac- tor fabricating the girders, and Walters Inc. which is both the erector as well as the arch fabricator. The draft report has not been made public, although officials expect a redacted version of the report will be released sometime in March. QUEBEC St. Catharines: Ontario Provincial Police to investigate bridge project procurement following forensic audit Niagara Regional Police (NRP) Chief Jeff McGuire says he will hand over a probe into the findings of a Niagara Re- gion audit report of the Burgoyne Bridge project to Ontario Provincial Po- lice, the St. Catharines Standard re- ports. In a news release, McGuire said while he is confident NRP officers could conduct a “full, fair and impartial” investigation, he will nonetheless ac- cept a request from the board to hand the probe over to an external police service. 54 – Spring 2017 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report Mont Sainte-Marguerite wind project on track to start generating power by year’s end Pattern Energy Group LP has an- nounced the completion of $263 mil- lion construction to term financing for its 147 mw Mont Sainte-Marguerite Wind project, which is now entering full stage construction. Financing was provided by The Manufacturers Life In- surance Company, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Bayerische Landesbank, and fully amortizes over the term of the project’s 25-year power purchase agreement with Hydro- Québec. Mont Sainte-Marguerite Wind is located approximately 50 km south of Québec City, in the Chaudière- Appalaches region. “With the close of construction fi- nancing we expect swift progress on our first project in Québec and antici- pate completing the facility by the end of the year,” said Pattern Development CEO Mike Garland. “The project is bringing jobs and economic benefits to the Chaudière-Appalaches region. We are using local construction workers from Québec and installing Siemens turbines with locally sourced turbine components, supporting manufactur- ers in the province.” Approximately 250 skilled workers are being employed on site at the peak of construction activity. Upon completion, the project is ex- pected to generate enough power for approximately 27,000 Québec homes annually, according to power use sta- tistics from Hydro-Québec. The project site, which is located on one of the higher elevations in Southern Québec, has one of the strongest wind re- sources in the region. The project is being constructed by Borea, under the supervision of both Pattern Development’s construction management team and RES Canada, as the primary onsite construction manager. The project began construc- tion in the third quarter of 2016. It is ex- pected to reach commercial operation in December 2017. Montreal to study how other cities limit construction chaos Montreal wants to know how other major cities manage construction work sites and what they do to limit their im- pact on the surrounding neighbour- hood, CBC reports. Researchers at Polytechnique Mon- tréal will carry out the study for the city. “We will be able to see if there are other practices to be implemented, and maybe we can show that Mon- treal, notwithstanding the number of work sites we have, is already a leader on this issue,” said Lionel Perez, the Montreal executive committee mem- ber responsible for infrastructure. Researchers will compare how con- struction work is carried out in Mon- treal and other North American and European cities, and recommend best practices to the city. The results of the study, which will cost $50,000, should be presented in the fall. The City of Montreal had previously announced it will be ramping up con- struction in 2017 to maintain its large network of streets, sidewalks and water infrastructure. Lemay’s proposal edged out six other submissions by firms in the United States, Europe and Australia. NEW BRUNSWICK Quebec based Lemay wins international competition for Morocco Casablanca coast corniches Georges Dumont Hospital expansion entering final phase Lemay, Quebec’s largest architec- ture, design and urban development firm, has won an international compe- tition to redesign the corniches of Mo- rocco’s Casablanca coast. This project, which is valued at $26 million, consists of developing a new seaside promenade for the Hassan II Mosque and revitalizing the Ain Diab corniche along five kilometres of coast. Lemay says its project is destined to become a landmark destination in Mo- rocco. It will be led by Lemay principal and international development director René Hubert, and is designed by the LemayLAB. “This new achievement confirms our exceptional expertise in integrated design as well as the international de- mand for a design offering that directly impacts communities’ current and fu- ture wellbeing,” said Louis T. Lemay, president and excellence facilitator. This project is the culmination of a concerted effort by Lemay’s transdis- ciplinary team, combining broad ex- pertise in international development, sustainable development, architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and graphic design. The new expansion of the Georges L. Dumont hospital in Moncton is en- tering its third and final phase. The three-level building will house new surgical suites as well as a recov- ery room, a day surgery unit, an inten- sive care unit, a top-down unit, physiotherapy and occupational ther- apy units. There will also be central sterile reprocessing as well as office space. “The surgical suites here at the Georges Dumont hospital were getting pretty old and pretty dated, so it’s a matter of renewing and also adding some capacity,” Health Minister Victor Boudreau said. A total of $21.3 million has been al- located in this year’s budget for the project with the total cost of the expan- sion set at $100.5 million. It’s part of the nearly $500 million the Gallant gov- ernment is investing on renovations and expansions of three major hospi- tals in the province. Saint John Regional Hospital will see an investment of $90 million and an estimated $200 million will go to- wards expansion of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital in Freder- icton. An additional $35 million will go towards upgrading the maternity and cardiac wards at the Moncton Hospi- tal. The first two stages of the project are complete, and the tender for the third and final stage was to be awarded The Canadian Design and Construction Report — Spring 2017 – 55 NEWS BRIEFS soon. “Doing it in phases, we thought was the appropriate way to do so, to give New Brunswick companies a chance to get as much work as possi- ble,” Boudreau said. The project is scheduled to be com- pleted by 2021. PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND Province announces road, bridge construction tenders The P.E.I. government has a busy construction season planned with a second round of tenders for highway and bridge improvements.

A list of tenders can be found on the Department of Finance’s website. The province also says that additional ten- ders and detours will be posted on its 511 website and project map. NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR Even if marijuana gets the federal government’s blessing in the form of legalization, employers, especially those in the construction industry, should remain more strict, warns a health manager with a drug testing company. “Marijuana and dangerous activities, safety sensitive duties, can’t mix,” Dan Demers from CannAmm Occupational Testing Services told CBC. “The issue is, the use the night be- fore work actually affects performance the next morning.” Speaking at the 2017 Newfound- land and Labrador Construction Safety Association’s annual conference in St. John’s, Demers highlighted specific is- sues when it comes to marijuana use. He said reaction time and depth per- ception can be affected if someone uses marijuana the night before. “If you’re working at heights in the construction industry, your ability, for instance, to take into account some- body besides you, their facial expres- sion changes because something’s falling, the part of the brain that’s re- sponsible for recognizing facial expres- sion gets impeded for more than 12 hours,” Demers told CBC’s St. John’s Morning Show. He said it isn’t just weed or other il- legal drugs that cause impairment, not- ing “there are many prescriptions that are not safe in many dangerous envi- ronments.” Demers said there needs to be clar- ification on what he calls a common misperception about medical mari- juana. “Marijuana is not a prescription. It’s an authorization, it’s a legal access to posses, it’s much different than a pre- scription.” Dodge upcoming project reports In co-operation with Dodge Analytics, the Canadian Design and Construction Report provides information on upcoming projects in the region.
