And then there was routine work for BC Ferries mixed in as possible. Barker says Seaspan is also reviewing upgrades for its Victoria facility. Recently, the ground was broken for a $750,000 investment in building an Industrial Marine Trade and Research Training Centre located just outside the Esquimalt Graving Dock. Boosted by Western Economic Diversification and private sector dol- lars, the project is designed to upgrade marine trades and professionals in the industry. It will start small and slowly as it builds courses and curriculum and will then expand as needed.

Otherwise known as a suboptimal result, defence acquisitions regularly fall short of established delivery schedules, accruing cost-overruns, sometimes resulting in cancellation of key materiel. One-hundred percent of the twenty-five Major Crown Projects at the Department of National Defence have experienced delays in achieving key milestones. Aside from cost, suboptimal results are injurious to Canada’s tri-force military. Fortunately, the matter has not gone unchecked. A fairly recent surge in procurement research has generated a critical mass of Canadian-focused literature.

  • Attachment 5: North Vancouver Chamber Feedback
    AITACHMENT--- 5 - District of North Vancouver Attention: Kevin Zhang, Community Planner Email: [email protected] Re: Stakeholder Feedback on Preliminary Application for Subdivision - 1371 McKeen Ave Dear Mr. Zhang, th I am writing in response to your outreach and letter dated November 6 2018 from the District of North Vancouver (the "District") on the North Vancouver Chamber (NVC) providing feedback on Preliminary Application for Subdivision at 1371 McKeen Ave (the "Amendments"). 1.0 Engagement Process NVC completed an engagement process inclusive of a variety of mechanisms and with a cross-section of potentially-affected and interested stakeholders. The process included: 1. Solicitation of feedback directly through face-to-face interviews, phone and email outreach with local EZ-1 zoned portbusinesses, including other interested employers in Harbourside area; and 2. Facilitation of a roundtable engagement session on November 21st 2018 at the North Vancouver Chamber office at 102-124 West 151 Street, North Vancouver. A list of stakeholders NVC engaged in this process is provided in Appendix A. 2.0 Issues & Input Overall, there was no opposition to the subdivision of the property being discussed. However, the following issues of concern were raised: 1) Protection of Industrial Land The section of land under discussion is a critical piece of property - it is both industrial land and waterfront. It is recognized that this application is for a sub-division and that at this point there is no intent to re-zone this land from its current EZ-1. We strongly support that the property remain within Industrial zoning for industrial use for existing and future use.
