Western Canada! Local Culture Corner September 2016 Western Canada! The IMAGINiT Western Canada territory is made up of the following provinces… from west to east… British Columbia (we just say BC, where our Vancouver office is), Alberta (where our Calgary and Edmonton offices are) and Saskatchewan (we just say Sask, where our Saskatoon office is). The best way to pronounce Saskatchewan is just take out the vowels, everyone say it together…ssktchwn. We also work with a couple of northern territories, Yukon and Northwest Territories. In this month’s issue we will feature Vancouver and Saskatoon. Stay tuned for our article about our Alberta offices in an upcoming newsletter!!!! The distance “as the bird flies” between Vancouver and Toronto is 2090 miles. The distance between Vancouver and Calgary is 420 miles. Calgary to Edmonton is 175 miles and Edmonton to Saskatoon is 301 miles. Local Culture Corner September 2016 Vancouver: We have three employees in the Vancouver office, Carrie Urdiga (MFG Account Executive), Paul Hollas (AEC Account Executive) and Jeff Morrow (AEC Sr. Solutions Consultant). Carrie Urdiga and Paul Hollas Jeff Morrow Our office is located in the city of Richmond, BC, a suburb south of the City of Vancouver. The area is made up of many cities, Richmond, Surrey, Delta, Burnaby, Coquitlam, and Langley to mention a few… which are usually generalized into “Vancouver”. The population of greater Vancouver is 2.5 million. Vancouver is a city surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Rocky Mountains to the east. The city itself is very mountainous… but has rich farm soil throughout. A cosmopolitan city right on the edge of nature, Vancouver makes it easy to combine an urban getaway with outdoor adventure. From family-friendly fun to thrill-seeking exploits; from marine exploring to mountaintop luxury, you'll find plenty of things to do in Vancouver. Local Culture Corner September 2016 Cool Facts about Vancouver: Vancouver was recently ranked as the third most “livable place in the world” for its high standard of living and quality of life, while it is ranked as the 10th cleanest city in the world. Vancouver has the mildest climate in Canada. Although, it receives on average, 1,589mm of rain per year. Downtown Vancouver is 65% residential. Don’t be surprised to see a lot of high-rise condominiums as there are many! Vancouver has the highest real estate prices in Canada. In 2011, the average price of a detached home was a staggering $1,204,587. Some say this is close to rivaling New York City and London. Vancouver is the largest television and film production center in North America, after Los Angeles and New York City. Don’t be surprised if you run into a celebrity or see the paparazzi chasing someone famous!! Vancouver has the 4th largest cruise ship terminal in the world. Greenpeace, one of the world’s oldest and most successful environmental groups, was established in Vancouver. In 2010 Vancouver hosted the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Fun stuff to do in and around Vancouver: Vancouver has an endless supply of attractions and things to see and do. It doesn't matter what time of day or what time of year - whether you want to be indoors or out, active or a spectator, spend a lot of money or none at all - Vancouver has it all! Local Culture Corner September 2016 Leisure and sports: If the weather is cooperating and you’re up for a swim, why not check out Canada’s longest pool. Measuring 137.5 meters (451 feet), it is nearly the size of three Olympic pools. This outdoor, saltwater pool is a major tourist attraction and is open year round. Up for a walk in the park? Well Stanley Park is no ordinary park! It’s an urban oasis, which is 10% larger than New York City’s Central Park and is a staggering 1001 acres (this could literally take a few days!). Local Culture Corner September 2016 Do you love aquatic life? Well then you can visit the wide array of marine life at the Vancouver Aquarium, which ranks in the top 5 worldwide. Belugas, penguins, sea otters & 50,000 other aquatic creatures await your arrival! Vancouver Aquarium Local Culture Corner September 2016 Are you a fan of professional sports? Depending on the time of the year, you can catch a National Hockey League (NHL) game and cheer on the Vancouver Canucks at the Rogers Arena. How about pro football? Well then you might enjoy a Canadian Football League (CFL) game, where the BC Lions play under the retractable roof at BC Place. The pass-centric game is quite different from the NFL (a longer and wider field with only 3 downs and other cool rules such as a “rouge” – a point awarded if a field goal is missed but caught by the opposing team and contained to the end zone). The Vancouver Whitecaps FC will satisfy your soccer/football desires at BC Place as well. The retractable roof over BC Place is truly a technological marvel, transforming BC’s largest and most versatile venue into a busier, and more exciting place to host world class events. The cable-supported fabric roof is the largest of its kind in the world - designed and engineered specifically for Vancouver’s climate. There are also junior professional sports teams located in Vancouver that are the developmental organizations for Major League Baseball and the NHL. For a great deal, you might want to get tickets to a Canadians single A baseball game or Giants Western Hockey League (WHL) game. Local Culture Corner September 2016 Culture, dining and shopping: Vancouver is home to some of the world’s best fine dining, shopping, museums, galleries, music and theatre. BC as a whole is also home to a vibrant and historically significant Aboriginal/First Nation’s community. You will most certainly pass by totem poles along the road and come across shops featuring Aboriginal art such as carvings and the like. Many venues offer a glimpse into this wonderful culture including dance and a wide array of indigenous food. The Museum of Vancouver (MOV) creates Vancouver-focused exhibitions and programs that encourage dynamic conversations about what was, is, and can be Vancouver. Permanent exhibitions tell the city’s stories, starting with an exhibition on the Musqueam First Nation's ancient landscape and living culture, continuing through the late 1970s. Want a glimpse into Vancouver’s past? Then you’ll likely enjoy the Burnaby Village Museum to see what the town was like back in the day. For a sampling of Asian culture that’s wonderfully displayed, take a short drive to the Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre where you feel immersed in Japanese culture and explore that region’s historical linkage with BC. With a booming craft beer industry, killer cocktail scene, and its own wine-growing regions, you won’t go thirsty while you’re in Vancouver! The city’s restaurants, bars, lounges, breweries, and tasting rooms all have something unique to offer. Whether it’s a selection of on-site brewed ales, an awesome patio, an award-winning wine list, or a jaw- dropping view. Some of the tried and tested spots are The Keg Steakhouse and Bar, a North American chain that began in the area in 1971, or Milestones with their eclectic menu and famous Bellini (a delicious frozen peach and raspberry cocktail) – there are several locations of both of these landmark restaurants around the city as well as home grown classics such as Earls, Joey and Cactus Club. A couple of the trendier places these days are The Cannibal Café in East “Van”, where you can enjoy mouth-watering beef burgers, refreshing brews, and traditional milkshakes in their authentic rock and roll diner. Fancy an authentic noisy Japanese bar experience? Then why not try out Hapa Izakaya? Hapa is a local mini-chain that offers a combination of delicious cuisine, fun and culture where each location has its own unique personality. Whether you’re looking for a small souvenir of your time in Vancouver, or a brand new summer wardrobe, shopping ranks high on the list of vacation activities for many visitors. And Vancouver doesn’t disappoint! As a cosmopolitan metropolis, shopping here runs from international designers and popular brands in shop-‘til-you-drop malls, through to local designers and one-of-a-kind craft studios in unique neighborhoods. You’ll find everything you’re looking for, as well as plenty of things you didn’t even know that you needed! Time limiting your stay around the office? Well Vancouver has something for you right in one of its wonderful neighborhoods. Check out the Aberdeen Centre, Metropolis At Metrotown, Charlie’s Chocolate Factory or Burnaby Artisan Farmers’ Market. Neighborhoods such as Commercial Drive, Chinatown, Granville St and Gastown (to name just a few of the many in Vancouver!) Local Culture Corner September 2016 Vancouver is considered a haven for lovers of the arts scene with plenty of museums, performing arts and music to enjoy. Whatever mood you’re in, you’ll find something to suit you. The Vancouver Art Gallery and Science World are two of the bigger venues. For performing-arts lovers, Vancouver is home to a number of theatre companies producing plays and musicals, from classic to the contemporary. Vancouver's dance scene is one of Canada's best with regular performances by Ballet British Columbia. If you’re looking to enjoy an evening of music, you can treat yourself to a symphony or opera in one of Vancouver's state-of-the-art facilities.

  • Economic Impact of Downtown Entertainment District
    April 13, 2021 His Worship Mayor Charlie Clark and Members of City Council City of Saskatoon 222 – 3rd Avenue North Saskatoon, SK, S7K 0J5 Subject: City Council Budget and Priorities – Downtown Entertainment District To His Worship and Members of City Council, On behalf of the key stakeholders in the proposed Downtown Entertainment and Event District, we are pleased to provide this written letter to City Council demonstrating strong unified support of the Downtown Entertainment District. The purpose of this letter is to request consideration for committed and continued development of the Downtown Entertainment District, incorporating a new Convention Centre (inclusive of Sid Buckwold Theatre) and the Entertainment and Sports Arena. City Council will be inundated with capital project proposals through the budget cycle, focusing on post COVID recovery. It our wish that strong consideration and high prioritization be given to development of the Downtown Entertainment District during these deliberations. The development of the Entertainment District, including both of the anchor venues, is critical to enable Saskatoon to not only bounce back from COVID, but to thrive in the face of that recovery. Economic Impact of Downtown Entertainment District The arena and convention centre (including Sid Buckwold Theatre) are essential components of the economic vitality of the City of Saskatoon, and a significant draw for both business and leisure travel. Entertainment and conference facilities are known to be important drivers of the national and regional economies through domestic and international visitation, facilitating small business, and fostering innovation. Studies validating the economic impact of both venues have been completed in recent years.

  • Safeco Field Seattle, Washington
    Safeco Field Seattle, Washington n 1995, Seattle’s profes- sionalI baseball team, the Mariners, decided they wanted a new stadium. Across the country, great baseball venues were being created, echoing the early days of old-style stadiums, fresh grass fields, and the great outdoors. After 21 years of playing in the fully enclosed Kingdome, the Mariners, too, wanted out in the sun, both for the joy of playing outside and the financial boost it would bring the team. But Seattle’s rainy climate dic- tated that the stadium be equipped with an “umbrella” to shield fans on days of inclement weather. And, thus, the demand was made: Build us a new stadi- um, open to the sky, with real grass, but make sure we can cover the field and the fans when it rains. Plus, do it by opening day 1999. With those ground rules, the design team set to work. The result is Safeco Field, a 47,000 seat, state-of-the-art, retractable roof ballpark. This one-of-a-kind project offers a landmark public amenity that will keep major league baseball in the region for years to come. It pro- vides good family entertainment, while stimulating economic growth and redevelopment in the area. Proactive management and innovative design solutions were required to meet the aggressive Modern Steel Construction / March 2000 project schedule and design chal- lenges. The retractable roof was designed for speedy erection and to minimize the impact on the construction of the seating bowl. The close proximity to the Seattle Fault required special seismic considerations, such as the use of an innovative viscous damping system in the roof that reduces the seismic forces by 50%.

  • Greater Vancouver Regional District
    Greater Vancouver Regional District The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) is a partnership of 21 municipalities and one electoral area that make up the metropolitan area of Greater Vancouver.* The first meeting of the GVRD's Board of Directors was held July 12, 1967, at a time when there were 950,000 people living in the Lower Mainland. Today, that number has doubled to more than two million residents, and is expected to grow to 2.7 million by 2021. GVRD's role in the Lower Mainland Amidst this growth, the GVRD's role is to: • deliver essential utility services like drinking water, sewage treatment, recycling and garbage disposal that are most economical and effective to provide on a regional basis • protect and enhance the quality of life in our region by managing and planning growth and development, as well as protecting air quality and green spaces. GVRD structure Because the GVRD serves as a collective voice and a decision-making body on a variety of issues, the system is structured so that each member municipality has a say in how the GVRD is run. The GVRD's Board of directors is comprised of mayors and councillors from the member municipalities, on a Representation by Population basis. GVRD departments are composed of staff and managers who are joined by a shared vision and common goals. Other GVRD entities Under the umbrella of the GVRD, there are four separate legal entities: the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD); the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD); the Greater Vancouver Housing Corporation (GVHC), and the Greater Vancouver Regional District.

  • Experience with Rubber Asphalt Concrete in Southern Saskatchewan
    Experience with Rubber Asphalt Concrete in Southern Saskatchewan Manoj Jogi, MSc., P. Eng. Materials Engineer – Southern Region Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure Regina, Saskatchewan Dennis Klimochko, P. Eng. Senior Surfacing Engineer Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure Regina, Saskatchewan David Stearns, P. Eng. Preservation Engineer – Southern Region Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure Regina, Saskatchewan Acknowledgements Southern Region Construction, Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure are gratefully acknowledged for their support. © Canadian Technical Asphalt Association 2010 372 RUBBER ASPHALT CONCRETE IN SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN ABSTRACT Rubber asphalt concrete was used in Saskatchewan for the first time in 2005. This was considered as a very successful project by the Southern Region of Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure (MHI) in terms of performance. In the following years, MHI constructed a total of 9 projects; in 2007 (3 projects including a thin lift overlay), 2008 (1 project) and 2009 (5 projects) in Southern Saskatchewan with rubberized asphalt. Two of these projects had issues in terms of performance which was attributed to a relatively poor quality construction and few other factors. This paper describes all these projects in detail, their suitability from climate, aggregate resources, economics and overall performance to date perspective and various lessons learned from them so far. These projects are being continuously monitored to date. In addition to this, the paper describes the impact of construction practices and the resultant density and volumetrics on the performance of the rubber asphalt mat. RÉSUMÉ Le béton bitumineux au caoutchouc a été utilisé en Saskatchewan pour la première fois en 2005. Cela a été considéré par la région sud du Ministère des Routes et Infrastructures de la Saskatchewan (MRI) comme un projet très réussi en termes de performance.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.
