  • Delayed Decision Hasn't Cooled Container Terminal Fight
    Advertise Newsletter Subscribe Share Transportation Delayed decision hasn’t cooled container terminal fight Ottawa postpones decision on $3.5 billion Roberts Bank Terminal 2 project until next year By Chuck Chiang | September 25, 2020, 2:04pm GCT Global Container Terminals Inc., operator of the Deltaport terminal, opposes the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s plan for another container cargo facility nearby | Chung Chow Ottawa’s decision on a controversial plan to build a new, multibillion-dollar container terminal at Delta’s Roberts Bank has been pushed to next year, but neither the project’s proponents nor its critics appear ready to give ground in the dispute over the proposed facility. Terminal 2, a project led by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA), would create via landfill an additional 2.4 million 20-foot equivalent units of annual container capacity for the port at a cost of potentially more than $3.5 billion. While the port authority is adamant that the new terminal is crucial to meet increased container capacity demand on the West Coast through the mid-2030s, opponents are equally adamant that there are more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable ways to meet that demand. In August, federal Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson said that Ottawa would wait for the port authority to provide additional information – such as how officials will address a list of environmental mitigation measures recommended by an independent review panel earlier this year – before making a final decision on Terminal 2.

  • From Weekly Newspapers to Online Dailies: the Transformation of Canada's Community Press
    From weekly newspapers to online dailies: The transformation of Canada's community press by Isobel-Patricia Lonergan A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Journalism Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015 Isobel-Patricia Lonergan i Abstract The speed, scope and scale by which information is transmitted have contributed to a monumental shift in the way community newsrooms operate. The Internet has given Canada’s community newspapers the ability to publish online as quickly as their daily and broadcast counterparts, providing both opportunities and challenges. This study investigates how community newsrooms are adapting to a digital environment, examines media response to technological change, and assesses the long-term viability of community newspapers via an analysis of structural trends at a time when newspapers are forced to once again renegotiate their place within the evolving networked news ecology. This is, after all, not the first time newspapers have faced a so- called disruptive technology. Radio did not kill newspapers, nor will the Internet. Canada’s community newspapers have a viable future, but only if there is a return to the core mandate of the weekly press, which requires meaningful investment in a multimedia newsroom. i Acknowledgements A heartfelt thank you goes out to my thesis supervisor, Klaus Pohle, for his guidance and support as I found myself juggling my career, significant life events and this project simultaneously. His assistance and patience are deeply appreciated and I am grateful for his encouragement and wisdom along the way. My sincere thanks to Susan Harada for her constructive comments and feedback.
