Project HIGHLIGHTS project HIGHLIGHTS nnovation thanks all the companies and individuals who made a submission to our annual call for project photographs. The Iresponse this year was overwhelming. We hope 06/07 you enjoy this showcase of BC-based engineering and geoscience achievements around the world over the past year. 26 JULY/AUGUST 2007 INNOVATION NK’MIP DESERT CULTURAL CENTRE The Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre is a celebration by the Osoyoos Indian Band of its historic culture. The Centre resides in the Okanagan desert—one of the most fragile environments in Canada—and features North America’s largest rammed earth wall at 80 m long and 5.5 m high. The wall is formed of 150 – 200 mm high lifts inside 600 mm wide forms. At the top of the wall and above the entry and windows, puddled earth coloured concrete was used as a bond beam. Local soils were employed with the addition of concrete colourants. The wall is not sealed and is left to form the outer crust as it cures. Other key design features include the building siting and orientation. Embed- ding the east building face in the hillside helps to moderate the interior temperature, while the heavy mass of the building’s concrete and earth walls remove heat during the day and return it at night. To regulate the temperature more specifi cally, a radiant heating and cooling system was installed in the ceiling slabs. Combined design features reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to a typical building in this arid climate. Owner: Osoyoos Indian Band. Architect: Hotson Bakker Bonniface Architects.

It was extra painful for me having to self-isolate this week preventing me from attending with you at the PNE grounds. Though I must say the efforts of the Association and the Regimental wreath parties at key locations has still allowed for us to feel connected on this day. The remembrance at the 29th Battalion CEF Monument at the PNE was very well done and attended by over 75 BCR soldiers online. Please pass on my kudos to all those involved in putting this together. The Wait for me Daddy wreath laying party was befitting for such a special and dear monument to our Regiment. Finally, the readings of the Cpl Alexander and Wu at Christ Church Cathedral as part of a wreath laying party was streamed live and can be found on youtube at https://www.thecathedral.ca/livestreams/34. These efforts show the whole Regimental Family is able to adapt and carry on in face of the greatest challenges of this generation of soldiers.

  • British Columbia
    BRITISH COLUMBIA RV PARKS & CAMPGROUNDS RECOMMENDED BY THE NRVOA British Columbia Canada's most westerly province, British Columbia is huge and diverse. If you love the great outdoors, you'll never be bored in a province that is so beautiful, with such variation, and with so many opportunities for hiking, rafting, sailing and skiing, to name just a few. British Columbia is studded with breathtakingly beautiful mountains that puncture vast, blue skies. You'll also find long stretches of rugged coastline, sandy beaches, wineries, orchards, forests and snowmelt-fed lakes. There is even Canada's only desert: Osoyoos, in the southern Okanagan, which is home to rattlesnakes, scorpions and prickly pear cacti. If you're seeking unspoiled wilderness, then British Columbia is the perfect province to lose yourself in. If you want company, however, there are plenty of modern and lively cities and towns in British Columbia. Vancouver has scores of galleries, museums and bars. But even in Vancouver you're never too removed from nature: the city contains Canada's largest city park, Stanley Park.
