Mitchell, RPS Senior Property Manager, Gemini Rosemont Q: What were your initial thoughts when you were approached with this event idea? A: We were first approached in 2013, and my initial thought was that we expended considerable efforts to ensure that people did not get to our roof and go over the edge. My other initial thought was that OTE must have sizeable insurance coverage once I understood their program and mission. Q: What were your main concerns about hosting an OTE event? A: Safety and logistics were my main concerns. Q: Besides giving back to your community, were there any additional “perks” for hosting an OTE event? i.e. Media exposure, contacts, etc?

Hosting an Over The Edge event is a great way for building owners to give back to their communities Q: What advice would you give other building owners who are hesitant to host an OTE event? while benefitting from the great traditional and social media coverage our exciting events inevitably attract.

  • Vancouver's Monuments to Nurses
    Vancouver’s Monuments To Nurses By Nina Rumen, RN, BScN RNABC History of Nursing Group Vancouver’s Nursing Monuments Public monuments honoring nurses exist in various cities, including a famous statue of Florence Nightingale in central London and a well-known monument to Jeanne Mance in the centre of Montreal. A request for funds to restore a stained glass window honoring World War I Nursing Sisters in Vancouver's Canadian Memorial Church led Nina Rumen of the B.C. History of Nursing Group to start a project, in mid-1991, to begin to identify and document nursing memorials in Vancouver. By May 1992, she had identified and photographed eight public memorials to nurses – three stained glass windows, three statues, a frieze, and a hospital building. Her photographs, originally compiled into a booklet album by Glennis Zilm, showed these eight memorials. Copies of the album were presented to Nina Rumen and to the Helen Randal Library (at the College of Registered Nurses of B.C.) In 1996, Nina Rumen was joined in the project by E. Brenda Flynn and the two continued to identify and document other monuments. A poster version of the monuments was made by Brenda Flynn to show at the International Conference on Nursing History held in Vancouver June 12-15, 1997. This Conference was hosted jointly by the Canadian Association for the History of Nursing (CAHN) and the B.C. History of Nursing Group. Another version of the album was prepared by Glennis Zilm at the request of Lt. Col. (Rt’d) Harriet (“Hallie”) Sloan, Honorary Chair of the Nursing Sisters’ Association of Canada, for a project involving the history of nursing sisters in Canada.
