Page 1 of 30 June 02, 2021 Cambridge Bay New Power Plant Project Nunavut Planning Commission ______Is Not a Viable Option
Cambridge Bay New Power Plant Project Nunavut Planning Commission ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Project Introduction Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is proposing to construct and operate a new power plant in the Hamlet of Cambridge Bay located in the Kitikmeot Region of Nunavut (the Project). This will be a multi-year Project that will include the installation of a 90,000-liter capacity horizontal fuel tank and two 2 million-liter capacity vertical fuel tanks and the new power plant will use more fuel-efficient engines. The plant will generate less noise and exhaust gases, due to the availability of equipment like industrial scrubbers and hospital grade silencers which will substantially reduce sound and air pollution. The new plant will have a life cycle of over 40 years and will be capable of integrating renewable energy sources. Proponent Information Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is a Government of Nunavut (GN) territorial corporation. Through the operation of 25 stand-alone diesel power plants with a total installed capacity of approximately 76,000 kilowatts, QEC is the sole provider of electricity to approximately 15,000 customers in the territory. QEC provides mechanical, electrical, and line maintenance services from three regional centers: Iqaluit, Rankin Inlet and Cambridge Bay. QECs administrative activities are carried out at the Head Office in Baker Lake and the Corporate Office in Iqaluit. QEC is committed to planning and developing cost effective and efficient ways to provide a safe, reliable and stable energy supply for all Nunavummiut. Project Background Cambridge Bay is a community with increasing demand for electricity, reflecting its growing population and increasing government and commercial enterprise. -

Passenger Leakage Study
2012 Passenger Leakage Study TAYGUS MANAGEMENT LTD. Box 2156 Dawson Creek BC 6/25/2012 TAYGUS MANAGEMENT LTD. Introduction The Dawson Creek Airport is continually looking to enhance air services available at the airport to better serve users in the South Peace Region. Improved air service generates many benefits to the community including enhanced access for business travellers, tourists, workers, vacationers and people visiting friends and relatives. By enhancing air transportation for residents, Dawson Creek is better able to attract and retain businesses and qualified personnel that benefit the community. Data on the travel characteristics of passengers from the Dawson Creek Region that use surrounding airports are required to identify new routes which would best serve travellers and have the greatest opportunity of success, and to identify candidate carriers to serve those new routes. This data is of prime importance in developing a business case for a new service to present to a prospective carrier. The results of this study will provide the Dawson Creek Airport with a better understanding of the travel patterns of people of the region, and potential for new or improved services. Current Air Services The Airport is currently served by two scheduled Airlines. Central Mountain Air (HawkAir) o Once daily direct flights to Vancouver and Fort Nelson Sunday through Friday. o Dash 8 service (schedule uses both 100 and 300 series aircraft). Northwestern Air o Once daily direct service to Edmonton and Red Deer 3 days per week. o Jestream 31 service. Catchment Area The catchment area for the Dawson Creek Airport (YDQ) is bordered by 2 other regional airports. -

You are not alone and many people have had the same challenges. What did they do? They got busy working on overcoming them. The worst thing you can do is “Woe is me, poor me, look at me, feel sorry for me”. Try not to bring attention to yourself. Just get busy getting the help to cure your problem. There are many places to get that help. There are rehab hos- pitals and a great source is a stroke recovery branch where you will get a lot of mental and physical sup- port. Here you will take away a tremendous amount of help mentally and physically. The best thing you can do is never give up. -Corky B.

BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

Welcome to the South Okanagan An area of exceptional beauty and diverse ter- rain, the South Okanagan Valley is positioned at the northernmost tip of the upper Sonoran Desert system, which starts in Mexico and extends through North America as the Great Basin. Canada's only true desert is tucked into the southernmost corner of this beautiful valley, and the extraordinary habitat is home to one of North Americas most fragile ecosystems. The Okana- gan Valley was created by the retreat of massive glaciers approximately 10,000 years ago which left large deposits of gravel, silt, clay and sand behind on the bottom and sides of the valley floor.
