To: Mayor and Council City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT Regular City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT F.06 Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council File No. : 1160-01 From : Engineering Department Date: August 01, 2018 World Conference on Cities and Ports Delegation Report The following report has been reviewed and endorsed by the Acting City Manager. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT this report be received for information. • PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide information on Delta's delegation to the 16th World Conference on Cities and Ports in Quebec City. • BACKGROUND: At the invitation of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, the City of Delta sent a delegation to the 16th World Conference on Cities and Ports in Quebec City June 11-14, 2018, organized by AIVP and Port Quebec. AIVP is a France-based international non­ profit association that was established in 1988 with the main objective of improving dialogue between cities, ports, and their partners. The conference brought together policy makers, business professionals, and academics from around the world to explore the challenges facing port cities and solutions to those challenges adopted by successful port cities with a focus on sustainability. Delta's delegation included Mayor Lois E. Jackson; Steven Lan, Acting City Manager; and Paul Scholfield, Fire Chief and had been pre-approved by Council at the May 14 Regular Meeting. The Port of Vancouver delegation was led by Robin Silvester, President and CEO and Eugene Kwan, Vice Chair, Port of Vancouver Board of Directors. • DISCUSSION: Conference Summary The focus of Delta's delegation to the conference was to engage in dialogue about the port-city interface in other jurisdictions, review best practices from other parts of the world, and develop ideas for potential improvements in Delta. Due to the relationship Page 2 of 3 World Conference on Cities and Ports Delegation Report 1160-01 August 01, 2018 between the Port of Vancouver and the City of Delta, organizers of the 16th World Conference on Cities and Ports invited Mayor Jackson and Mr. Silvester to take part in a roundtable discussion with representatives from Havre, France and Saguenay, Quebec on three key questions: • What is a port for? • Why is the port important for the city? • How do you imagine the relationship of tomorrow between the port city and environment? This session illustrated the unique working relationship between the City of Delta and Port of Vancouver as many of the initiatives showed a shared commitment to the community. Examples included the Port of Vancouver's community office in Ladner, funding for the 80 Street overpass, and the Port Community Liaison Committee on which a City of Delta representative sits. Other relevant presentations on joint port and city initiatives include: • A presentation on the redevelopment of Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires from a derelict port area into a master planned community with the highest percentage of green space in the city. • A Port of Vancouver presentation on its works at New Brighton Park highlighting the reconstruction of a salt marsh that provides more than two hectares of habitat for species such as juvenile salmon . This is a continuation of some of the Port of Vancouver's recent environmental enhancement efforts in Delta. • A joint Quebec City and Port of Quebec presentation about the long-term vision for a tourism-focused waterfront through redevelopment of port lands. Due to the seasonal nature of the cruise ship industry, the city and port faced challenges related to spikes in passenger and traffic volumes. The agencies worked together on physical infrastructure improvements, traffic cameras, and consultation with the community to address the issues, including a future elevated multi-purpose pathway to accommodate cruise passenger needs and the local cycling network. These, and many other learning opportunities, offered Delta's delegation insight into new approaches to local challenges and the chance to exchange ideas with experts from around the world. Port of Quebec To enhance the delegation's understanding of other port-city interfaces, the Port of Vancouver arranged a meeting with senior staff from the Port of Quebec. The visit included a review of the Port of Quebec's approach to emergency response and its coordination with affected municipalities. Page 3 of 3 World Conference on Cities and Ports Delegation Report 1160-01 August01,2018 Since the relationship between the Quebec City Fire Department and the Port of Quebec is similar to the strong relationship between Delta Fire and Emergency Services and the Port of Vancouver, all parties were able to learn from this meeting. Of particular interest to Delta Fire and Emergency Services was the Quebec City Fire Department's use of mass spectrometry technology to allow for quicker identification of unknown products du.ring incidents where hazardous materials are involved. Shipboard fire"fighting was another issue of mutual interest since it is technically outside the mandate of both fire departments. However, unlike in Delta, in Quebec, the Port of Quebec pays for shipboard firefighting training for Quebec City Fire Department fi refig hters. Delta Fire and Emergency Services will continue discussions with the Port of Vancouver and its tenants on the issues of using mass spectrometry technology during hazardous materials events and shipboard firefighting training. Implications: Financial Implications - There are no financial implications to Delta. • CONCLUSION: As the host municipality to the largest container terminal in Canada and the largest coal port on the west coast of North America, the City of Delta deals with port-related issues every day. By taking advantage of the opportunity to exchange ideas with leaders in ports from around the world at the 16th World Conference on Cities and Ports, Delta's delegation was able to learn about best practices for managing port growth in a sustainable way, including in the key area of emergency services .

May 2012, Jönköping Robert Castrillón D. ii INTENTIONALLY BLANK iii Master Thesis in Business Administration - ILSCM Programme Title: Relationships between Maritime Container Terminals and Dry Ports and their impact on Inter-port competition Author: Robert Castrillón Dussán Tutor: Assistant Professor Leif-Magnus Jensen Date: 2012-05-14 Subject terms: Container terminals, dry ports, relationship assessment, customer /supplier interaction, inter-port competition, inland integration of port services _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Globalization of the world’s economy, containerization, intermodalism and specialization have reshaped transport systems and the industries that are considered crucial for the international distribution of goods such as the port industry. Simultaneously, economies of location, economies of scope, economies of scale, optimization of production factors, and clustering of industries have triggered port regionalization and inland integration of port services especially those provided by container terminals. In this integration dry ports have emerged as a vital intermodal platform for the effective and efficient distribution of containerized cargo.

  • General Information
    GENERAL INFORMATION CONTEXT In 1805, the Canadian government established the Trinity House, which was responsible for managing the port, issuing licences to pilots on the St. Lawrence and even tending buoys. In 1858, the government created the Québec Harbour Commission, which had a mandate to coordinate the development of maritime and port activities in Québec. The Trinity House was abolished in 1873, and in 1875, responsibility for managing the port was granted to the Québec Harbour Commission. In 1936, the government established the National Harbours Board, which brought together the largest ports in Canada, and disbanded the Harbour Commission. The National Harbours Board was an agent of the Crown and was responsible for conducting commercial operations and services. This organization was accountable to Parliament for matters concerning it, through the Department of Transport. Around 1983, the federal government reviewed the legislation concerning the management of Canadian ports and created the Canada Ports Corporation Act. In 1984, it established the Québec Port Corporation as well as six other local port corporations. This new legislative step effectively merged the main Canadian port organizations into a single corporation and returned decision-making power to the local level. On May 1, 1999, following the adoption of the Canada Marine Act, the Canada Ports Corporation began to dissolve, making way for a national port network managed by the Canadian Port Authorities (CPAs). The Québec Port Corporation thus became the Québec Port Authority, a shared governance organization that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Transport. RESPONSIBILITIES The Québec Port Authority plays a role in building a national marine policy that provides Canada with the marine infrastructure that it needs and that offers effective support for the achievement of local, regional and national social and economic objectives and will promote and safeguard Canada’s competitiveness and trade objectives.

    Synopsis sheets Rivers of the World SAINT LAWRENCE RIVER Initiatives pour l’Avenir des Saint Lawrence Grands Fleuves The source of Saint Lawrence River is at Kingston, at the outlet of Lake Ontario, from whence it flows for 1,197 km to the Gulf of Saint Lawrence after crossing the cities of Montreal and Quebec. The surface area covered by its watershed – 1.6 million km² - makes it the 3rd largest river system in North America, after the Mississippi and the Mackenzie. With the Great lakes (which belong to the same hydrological system) it represents 25% of the world’s reserves of freshwater. A major point of entry into the continent Its origins Known as the Hochelaga, meaning “the path that walks”, by the region’s Amerindian populations, the river was baptised with its current name after being discovered by Jacques Cartier in 1535. He claimed its possession on behalf of the King of France Francis 1. It then served as the main route of navigation and discovery within the North American continent. The colonists settled on the sides of the river, by first founding the city of Quebec in 1608 and the city of Montreal in 1642. They then developed agricultural activities and fur trade. Its historic function of waterway has been developed up to the present by the construction of structures designed to bypass natural obstacles such as the Lachine rapids. This role must now take into account the development of new and sometimes contradictory uses: the transfer of water, hydroelectricity production and leisure activities.
