Roughly one- in-three (34%) Canadians have taken a digital camera on vacation. Far fewer Canadians have vacationed with a laptop (12%) or a PDA (7%, Personal Digital Assistant). Of those Canadians who have taken a digital camera with them on vacation, 85% use it primarily for personal purposes. Likewise, 69% of those who have taken a cell phone with them on vacation use it primarily for personal purposes. In contrast, laptop computers tend to be used for a mix of work purposes (41%), personal purposes (31%) or both equally (28%). In terms of future vacations, one-in-four (25%) Canadians plan on buying a digital camera before their next vacation. Fewer Canadians are planning to purchase a cell phone (14%), laptop computer (5%) or PDA (3%) before their next vacation. These are the findings of an Ipsos-Reid poll conducted from March 23rd to March 25th, 2004, with a randomly selected sample of 1056 Canadian adults. This poll was fielded on Ipsos-Reid’s national omnibus vehicle, the Ipsos-Reid Express. With a sample this size, the results are considered accurate to within ± 3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Smaller subsets of this sample will have larger margins of error. These data were weighted to ensure the sample’s regional and age/sex composition reflects that of the actual Canadian population according to the 2001 Census. - 30 - For more information on this news release, please contact: Catherine Dawson Vice President Ipsos-Reid Corporation 604-257-3200 [email protected] Please visit our website at www.ipsos.ca.

WHARTON REAL ESTATE REVIEW SPRING 2012 Creating a New Suburban Town Center WITOLD RYBCZYNSKI Tougher economic times, lack of consumer confidence, and rising energy prices are likely to curtail distant ex-urban development in the decades to come, and one of the challenges for real estate developers will be to infill and densify suburban areas. Altering zoning and raising densities in existing residential areas will not be easy, however, not only because of neighborhood opposition to change, but also because most housing in the last three decades has been built as part of planned communities. These communities are governed not by municipal regulations, which can (with difficulty) be changed, but by homeowner associations that have been created in order to make change almost impossible. Housing aside, there is also the problem of how to convert suburban commercial development, which has generally occurred in a piecemeal and uncoordinated fashion, into concentrated, walkable, attractive town centers. Despite the current fashion for lifestyle centers that mimic the Main Street environment of small towns, the suburban centers of the future will not necessarily resemble the downtowns of the past. What follows is an example of how out- of-the-box thinking—and a public-private partnership—produced an innovative solution to a complicated problem. The Deal More than three decades ago, recognizing that the growth of the city of Vancouver was constrained by its location on a peninsula, hemmed in by surrounding water and mountains, Metro Vancouver developed a regional plan—theLivable Region Plan—to direct urban growth into surrounding suburban municipalities. Most urbanization was expected to occur in the southeast, down the broad Fraser Valley.

Woodward's After Bankruptcy History
Woodward's after Bankruptcy History Charles Woodward established the first Woodward store at the corner of Main and Georgia Streets in Vancouver in 1892. On September 12, 1902, Woodward Department Stores Ltd. was incorporated, and a new store was built in Vancouver on the corner of Hastings and Abbott Streets. In 1926, a store was opened in Edmonton, and by the late 1940s, the company began to open numerous stores in both provinces. Facing financial difficulties, Woodward's was sold to the Hudson's Bay Company in 1993. Woodward's was a central feature of the retail scene especially in southwestern British Columbia for much of the twentieth century. The chain was distinctive in that the stores included a large supermarket (the "Food Floor") as an adjunct or at some locations part of the department store. When Woodward's sold the Food Floor - long known for its quality and its line of unusual specialties - to Safeway, the flagship food floor became a reduced-size IGA store until the building closed as Safeway showed no interest in that location. Many older western Canadians remember fondly Woodward's famous "$1.49 Day" sales, held the first Tuesday of every month. These sales were advertised widely on radio and in newspapers, and offered everything from canvas-top running shoes to bath oil for the one price. Most Woodward's locations were converted to HBC's Bay or Zellers stores by the end of 1993. Other major retailers took over several stores, and the remaining locations were either closed or were divided into mall retail space.
