  • Energy Resources in BC's Central Interior
    Western Geography, 12 (2002), pp. 216–229 ©Western Division, Canadian Association of Geographers Energy Resources in BC’s Central Interior Peter Ostergaard Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer British Columbia Utilities Commission Reliable, convenient, and reasonably priced energy services are a prerequisite for both quality of life and an energy-intensive resource sector in central British Columbia. Investments by governments, Crown corpo- rations, and BC-based companies in energy infra- structure to facilitate regional economic development characterized most of the last 50 years. This is chang- ing. While access to infrastructure remains important, the region’s gas and electricity price advantages are dis- appearing as these commodities are traded across conti- nental infrastructure networks. Future energy invest- ments in the region will be more environmentally benign and perhaps environmentally beneficial, as efforts to continue to mitigate the environmental impacts of reservoirs, reservoir operations, and energy corridors. Introduction The Central Interior’s abundance of low cost energy resources has strongly influenced the evolution of the region’s economy and patterns of settlement. Aside from biomass supplies (e.g., firewood, pulping liquor, hog fuel), the region imports most of its energy needs using a highly developed and reliable network of oil and gas pipelines and power transmission lines. Access to these supplies has been a prerequisite to attracting the energy intensive, resource based industries upon which the region will continue to depend. However, these abundant, low cost supplies have come at an envi- ronmental cost, primarily in the form of flooded valley bottoms and land alienated by pipeline and transmission corridors. Energy Resources in BC’s Central Interior 217 Historical Context Traditionally when we think of energy, its sources come to mind.

  • Pacs Opinion Survey: Referring Physicians
    PACS OPINION SURVEY: REFERRING PHYSICIANS As a user of PACS, your opinion on PACS would be greatly appreciated in the PACS Opinion survey. This survey has been designed by Canada Health Infoway with the input of radiology experts. The purpose of this survey is to gather your opinion on the impact PACS has had on image access, patient care, patient transfers, duplicate tests, productivity, report turnaround time, etc. The results from many project sites across Canada will be used to develop a national view of the state of the diagnostic imaging environment since the implementation of PACS. Information that is obtained during this survey will be kept confidential to the full extent permitted by the law. You will not be identified by name in any reports of the completed survey; your responses will only be analyzed in aggregate by Canada Health Infoway or a third party that has been contracted for analysis. All identifiers in the records of data will be removed. Records of the data, identifying participants by code number only, will be stored on a fire-wall protected server and protected by password. Only authorized users will have access. Your opinion on the impact of this technology is important as it will assist in the measurement of the “actual” benefits created by technologies that are implemented to improve timely access to patient results and to establish the shared electronic patient record. INSTRUCTIONS The survey should take about 5-10 minutes to complete. Please return the survey in the enclosed envelope by Friday, March 3rd, 2006. If you have any questions about the survey please contact Nancy Kraetschmer at Canada Health Infoway at (416) 595-3164 or [email protected] 1.
