  • A Brief History of the Transfer System in British Columbia
    A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TRANSFER SYSTEM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA The following information has been prepared as a brief history of important events in the development and maintenance of the post-secondary transfer system in British Columbia (BC) over the last six decades. The information is presented in point form and in chronological order and includes several points related to the expansion of the post-secondary system and hence the transfer system in BC over that time period. The bullets referring to this expansion, which led to a highly differentiated post- secondary system in which transfer became a crucial factor, are listed in bold. Please note that the list of changes in the post-secondary system is not meant to be exhaustive and, therefore, does not include all openings, closings, mergers, and name changes of institutions in BC. The information below should be useful to anyone wanting to develop a better understanding of the history of BC’s well-developed transfer system and the reasons we have created such a system. Both newcomers to BC post-secondary education and long-term employees will hopefully be able to learn from the list of historical events presented below. The list of important events has been compiled by reviewing a number of literature sources that have dealt with the historical development of BC’s post-secondary and transfer systems. These include the Advanced Education Council of BC (2000), Andres and Dawson (1998), Dennison (2002), Gaber (2002), and Johnston (2005). These references are included in the bibliography at the end of the document. The list of events below has been reviewed and revised by individuals with a long-standing knowledge of the development of BC’s transfer system to ensure accuracy and completeness as much as possible.

The SierraSlope®, a Mechanically Stabilised Earth (MSE) reinforced soil slope using geogrids, was introduced by Tensar International Corporation (Tensar). The facing of the slope is composed of welded wire mesh forms with a synthetic wrap system of Tensar Biaxial Geogrid. The FLAC (Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua) finite difference program was used to model the SierraSlope® under seismic loading conditions. The FLAC analyses are considered to provide a comparison and evaluation of the standard design approaches as well as an additional insight into the seismic performance of the SierraSlope®.

One road safety management program is delivered through road planning and engineering, aimed to improve the road design features to reduce the frequency and/or severity of collisions. These road safety management programs can be divided into two categories: reactive road safety initiatives (i.e., responding to existing road safety problems) and proactive road safety initiatives (i.e., actions taken to prevent the emergence of problems).
