Top100 Projects 2021

Changing the Language of Top100 Projects — 2021 An annual report inserted in Infrastructure ReNew Canada’s had an interesting encounter following the release of last January/February 2021 issue year’s report, and I wanted to share in an effort to get I feedback from the rest of the industry. MANAGING Andrew Macklin We had released the 2020 Top100 Projects report and were EDITOR [email protected] getting set for the Key Players and Owners Dinner, which we host every February in Toronto as a celebration of the accomplishments GROUP Todd Latham PUBLISHER of the industry in developing infrastructure megaprojects. I had heard through one of my colleagues that a couple of well-respected PUBLISHER Nick Krukowski members of the industry wanted to chat with me at the event and I should seek them out. So I did. ART DIRECTOR AND Donna Endacott SENIOR DESIGN My first thought was that, not having nearly the expertise as many of you, that I had somehow managed to royally screw something ASSOCIATE Simran Chattha up. Or perhaps they wanted to tell me that I should try a different EDITOR tact to the report? Maybe a new idea for adding a complementary DIGITAL MARKETING Becky Umweni piece for this report? But as it turned out, they wanted to have a COORDINATOR conversation with me about… language.

DIGITAL The language of this report has become, to some, quite convoluted. Connie Vitello EDITOR As different jurisdictions use the language familiar to them, it can often mean that, from one project to the next, different words are EVENT Natasha Mawji MANAGER used to describe the same thing. And yet, if you are not familiar with jurisdictional preferences, this can become quite confusing. Nick Krukowski ADVERTISING [email protected] We agree. So in this version of the report, and in the reports of the years to follow, we are going to work diligently to present a universal set of terms regardless of where the project originates. We’ve done some of that tweaking in this report, but will be doing even more over the ReNew Canada is published next few years. We’ll also be doing this in our publication, trying six times a year by Actual Media Inc. to create a universal language we can all agree on. No, we’re not picking favourites here; we’re trying to use terminology that can be a common language of infrastructure for everyone to use from 150 Eglinton Ave. E, #806, Toronto, ON M4P 1E8 coast-to-coast-to-coast. Phone: 416-444-5842 We think it’s time for the industry to all speak with one voice, Subscription/customer services: 416-444-5842 ext. 7 and that includes one set of clearly understood industry terms. So we are going to put our best foot forward to help make this happen. As we make this change, we want to hear from you. Where do ReNew Canada subscriptions are you see confusion in industry terminology that should be made available for $29.95/year or $54.95/two years universal? Contact me at [email protected] to discuss. and include the annual Top100 Projects. Thanks, as always, for your input. ©2021 Actual Media Inc. All rights reserved.
