  • A Study of Present and Future Interurban Transportation Emissions in British Columbia, Canada, Relative to Its Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act of 2007
    OFF TRACK TO 2050?: A STUDY OF PRESENT AND FUTURE INTERURBAN TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, RELATIVE TO ITS GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION TARGETS ACT OF 2007 by Moritz Alexander Schare B.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 2008 M.A., University of Northern British Columbia, 2012 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA FEBRUARY 2016 © Moritz Alexander Schare, 2016 originating from sources in a defined category, such as transportation, in a given geographical area (for example, global or national or local) over a given time span (the typical time frame is one year). An inventory usually also contains data to calculate the emissions. In addition, an inventory can include other emissions-related information or calculations such as emission factors (the amount of the pollutant emitted per unit activity). The objective of the research in this dissertation was to develop an emissions inventory for the transportation sector in British Columbia (BC) that could be used to answer various policy-related questions about BC's present-day and future transportation emissions. There are two distinct types of transportation emissions inventories: top-down and bottom-up. Top-down inventories are based on large-scale, overarching ('top level') data, such as total fuel sales for a given jurisdiction, that are used to calculate emissions which are then allocated to the lower levels in some manner within the jurisdiction. Bottom-up inventories work in the opposite direction, so to speak. They start with small-scale, on-the- ground (' bottom level ' ) data, such as fuel sales at each sales outlet within a jurisdiction, that are used to calculate emissions which are then summed up in some manner for the jurisdiction.

  • 2020 Community Profile
    CITY OF NANAIMO COMMUNITY PROFILE 2020 Community Profile MAYOR’S WELCOME On behalf of City Council and the citizens of Nanaimo, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our beautiful city. As the economic hub of central Vancouver Island, Nanaimo boasts both a vibrant business community and an exceptional quality of life. Nanaimo has transitioned from a commodity- based economy that relied on an abundance of natural resources from the forests and ocean towards a service- based “knowledge” economy that relies on the skills, talent and innovation of the local workforce. The city is now a regional centre for health services, technology, retail, construction, manufacturing, education and government services. Nanaimo is a central transportation and distribution hub for Vancouver Island. Home to an excellent deep-sea port, this ocean-side city receives 4.6 million tons (2019) of cargo through its port facilities and deep-sea terminal at Duke Point each year. Air Canada offers direct flights to Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto from the Nanaimo Airport, an all-weather facility. Seaplanes and Helijet link downtown Nanaimo to downtown Vancouver in 20 minutes. BC Ferries provides vehicle and passenger service between Nanaimo and Vancouver as well as Richmond from two terminals located in Nanaimo. Businesses choose to locate in Nanaimo because of the cost efficiencies and a complete range of telecommunications services. Nanaimo offers a well-trained, stable and educated workforce. Vancouver Island University graduates, from various disciplines, provide a constant stream of new employees for area companies. Nanaimo City Council values our over 6,200 businesses and offers support programs through the Economic Development office.
