2019 and beyond: A look forward after 75 monumental years

By Bill Black, CCA President

In our 75th year as an organization we find ourselves in a unique position.

On one hand we have an enviable legacy and foundation large­ ly marked by two larger-than-life long-tenured presidents who forged this great association as our city and membership grew.

On the other hand, we have a city, a province, a country, and an industry facing more questions than, perhaps, at any juncture in recent memory.

Political change and uncertainty, shifting global attitudes, the collapse of traditional industries and business models along with record vacancies in our downtown core, all accompanied by the usual media panic that thrives in such cycles. This is conspired

to paint an intimidating backdrop for our membership and our board in 2019.

The question that follows is, how do you respond to such in­ timidating circumstances?

We step into the storm

Our industry has always done so with characteristic resilience and resolve. It is what we do, it is who we are, and the CCA will be no different in 2019 and beyond. These are times for leadership, bold steps, and unity, and as we address the realties that are facing our city and our industry, the CCA is focused on how best to sup­ port our members in such times while also continuing to look to the future.

We design, build, operate, and maintain the physical infrastructure that society lives, works, heals, teaches, shops, eats, plays, functions, and drives in.

Based on that perspective, our contribution to this city is significant, therefore it is important that we rally at times such as these.

The construction industry also employs a significant portion of Calgarians across the vast array of professionals and tradespeople that participate in this cycle. When combined with the consultants, manufacturers, and suppliers who are also a part of the supply chain, our impact is truly remarkable.

When I started in the industry in Edinburgh in 1981, I did so as a fourth-generation construction participant in a family of con­ struction professionals that included masons, building contractors, engineers, architects, and quantity surveyors.

My initial chosen path in quantity surveying later saw me switch countries, moving to Canada in 1991, and then supporting myself in career shifts to estimating in a trade contractor, to sales and busi­ ness development in a manufacturer working all over North Amer­ ica. That was before returning to the world of trade contractors in business development and subsequently into executive leadership.

Over almost four decades I have met incredible people, lived in­ credible experiences, and have been mentored by individuals and situations that have allowed me to develop personally and profes­ sionally. Throughout the journey, I have learned from those I con­ sider to be the best, participated in incredible projects, and served customers from some of the largest corporations in the world.

In this time I not only changed countries, cities, industries, and roles, I also participated in co-authoring books, networking with some of the greatest thought leaders in business while continually being a champion for the industry, a voice for change, and more recently, serv­ ing on the CCA board prior to becoming CCA president. These have all provided me with incredibly rich experiences, continuous learning, and I feel truly blessed to have been fortunate enough to receive such opportunities.

As I reflect further, I am convinced that it really is the people that make this business what it is. We are not alone in this as an industry, but our business is one of particularly high-touch and high-interaction as it is about solving problems, overcoming obstacles and working as a team to get there. We are often dealing with significant challenges and adversity such as weather, location, or site conditions, and we are nearly always under stiff constraints of time and budget.

I have found most construction people, regardless of role or posi­ tion, to be marked by a fierce pride in what they can accomplish, high personal standards that they hold themselves accountable to, as well as a strong sense that it is teams, not individuals who get this done. If you seek out and keep the company of such people in the business and take your lead from them, their proximity and influence will most certainly shape you and develop you over time into the best version of yourself you are ever likely to realize in life and business.

We may not always shine every time, but when we do it is bright and the relationships that develop between individuals and organizations provide the basis of truly great achievements in the built environment with remarkable examples of technical ability, craft, ingenuity, and

commitment all marked by passion and resilience to always step up to the plate and do what needs to be done.

It is through this lens that we need careers in construction to be viewed as a truly legitimate and rewarding prospect for all of our high schoolers, as well as their parents. My own kids are now beginning their careers in the industry and so our family’s fifth generation is con­ tinuing the legacy – with my blessing of course. Not all their peers received the same encouragement from parents however, and we are well aware that construction is often looked down on as a career path prospect.

The reality is that construction provides incredible opportunities regardless of the path young people take to enter it, and many of us are living proof of this.

This industry can indeed take a young person straight out of high school and start them working as a casual labourer sweeping the site and then develop them over their four-decade career into a senior ex­ ecutive. This is a full journey from broom to boardroom and not many other industries present such an opportunity.

Beginning as a tradesperson, our youth are able to learn the craft and pay their way through apprenticeship – often with employers’ support – and receive a ticket without any student debt burdens. Their career can evolve through the ranks of supervisory roles into the office and all the way to the top C-suite positions in the company over a rewarding and varied 40+ year career.

A trade certificate combined with a business degree forms the basis for an entrepreneur to start their own company, and some of our in­ dustry’s greatest companies began from such roots. Graduates from

courses in project management or construction management, as well as engineering and architecture/design can also enter this industry and build excellent careers with a great variety of organizations.

No matter which path you take, when you get to drive by the build­ ings that you helped design and construct and see them as perma­ nent fixtures in our communities, it is a very rewarding experience.

To watch your city literally take shape over your life in the industry with your participation is a truly wonderful way to leave a mark.

There is no doubt that we have work to do to foster this im­ age and provide succession prospects for our industry in the years ahead, and this is something that we at CCA are keenly aware of moving forward. Our Young Construction Leaders Group is tak­ ing up this charge and you can read about what they are doing elsewhere in this publication.

We also will be focusing on the full range of our membership and looking for how we can bring higher levels of value to our members based on their organizational profile. There are some who have considered the CCA in the past as an association for the larger players, and it is true that we are fortunate enough to have had the support of Calgary’s top construction companies over the years. The reality is, however, that a large percentage of construc­ tion firms, including many of those in our membership, have 10 to 12 employees or less, and as such, they do not have the breadth of staffing resources that would be more typical in large organiza­ tions. Many are trade contractors and are working with incredibly tight margins, and as such, are constrained in terms of their over­ head.

With this in mind, the CCA is looking to develop a portfolio of business and advisory partners that will provide access to knowl­ edge and services at member rates, designed to deliver the various types of expertise needed in a manner that is tailored to the indus­ try, that is accessible and much more affordable. Building off the Affinity Program already in place, these areas will likely include human resources, finance, payroll, benefits, and many more.

Networking and educational events have always been a major part of the calendar year at the CCA. As I often say, “Events do not organize themselves!” and there is a tremendous amount of work in planning and organizing these functions. Whether it is a golf event or the Development Summit, these are all seeing significant increases in attendance and we are excited to once again bring a great selection of events to you in 2019.

Our education program continues to grow and new courses and formats will be added. Look for a new updated Construction 101 course being launched later this year. We are working to expand our education offering in order to provide the courses that you need to develop your people.

The team at the CCA continues to inspire me as their level of en­ gagement is some of the highest I have experienced. They are truly dedicated to our goal of bringing member value and as we continue to build on our programs and services I hope you will experience and share in their enthusiasm directly this year.

With a new logo, a new website, and a great team, your CCA looks forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you all in 2019. n

Personal Reflections on CCA’s Impact on the Provincial Stage

By Ken Gibson, Executive Director, Alberta Construction Association The Calgary Builders Exchange helped lead the formation of the Alberta Con­ struction Association’s (ACA) predecessor, the Alberta Builders’ Exchange Council in 1958, and the CCA has continued its lead­ ership and support for the ACA ever since.

As ACA’s executive director since 2002, I’ve had a chance to observe first-hand the pivotal role that the Calgary Construction Association has played on the provincial and national stages.

Construction associations are a reflec­ tion of the people who serve them – the chairperson, the board, and the chief staff officer, and the Calgary Construction As­ sociation is no exception. “Little” CCA conducts itself the way that its people conduct themselves – as professional and passionate leaders intent on improving the community of construction.

14

Calgary Construction Association Magazine

The face of the day-to-day relationship with the CCA for most of my tenure was larger than life executive vice-president Dave Smith. Masked by a near constant infectious laugh, Smith fearlessly har­ nessed the enthusiasm and ideas of succes­ sive CCA boards to lead the country. Smith was a big-picture visionary, sometimes leaving his staff and partners breathless in acting upon his boundless energy and enthusiasm to do great things for the con­ struction industry. Much as I am honoured to call him a friend, friendship did not de­ ter him from cheerfully throwing a curve into my carefully timed ACA board agen­ das by raising an issue dear to the hearts of the CCA under “Business Arising”.

Smith and the CCA board sent their best to help steer the ACA. Ken Trueman was ACA past chair when I joined in 2002.

Trueman was an incredible workhorse.

Sometimes the ACA’s voluminous briefing materials can consume a forest. Never­ theless, Trueman would have underlined text and written his incisive comments throughout the entire document, irrespec­ tive of the sometimes short time we gave him to review.

Bob Hildenbrandt was an absolute rock, staying for a second term as chair when the Edmonton Construction Asso­ ciation severed its membership with the ACA in 2005. Hildenbrandt shouldered an enormous burden of steering the ACA free from rocky waters and stabilizing the membership. When the ACA increased dues to make up for the loss in revenue, Hildenbrandt reminded us all that the increase was less than the cost of a single round of golf.

Malcolm Holbrook was the consum­ mate professional, never losing his cool when navigating the government’s review of BuildWorks versus the Alberta Purchas­ ing Connection. The ACA had CCA’s un­ conditional support as the ACA worked to continue to represent provincial inter­ ests despite the large hole caused by the loss of an integral contributor in the ECA. Holbrook’s credo helped me through dark times: “We should always focus on acting professionally and doing what is right for industry. If we do that, everything else will look after itself ”.

Kees Cusveller was clear and direct in sharing industry views, but to his great credit, would cheerfully present diverse views, even if they did not always coincide with that of his own firm – P3s as a case in point. Cusveller would chuckle when delivering very politically incorrect views, but invariably had a great rapport with successive ministers and other politicians.

Bob Robinson charmed everyone with his great storytelling and hilarious antics, while finessing the rebuilding of relation­ ships to smooth the return of the Edmon­ ton Construction Association to the ACA membership. Robinson was also legendary in the sheer volume of materials he would master in preparation for ACA business.

Dave Kinley’s commitment to fostering a solution to the issue of prompt pay was rewarded though the adoption of prompt pay clauses by Alberta Infrastructure.

Kinley’s leadership was recognized na­ tionally and he went on to influence the response of the “big” CCA, the Canadian Construction Association, to this impor­ tant issue and the subsequent successful lobby for adoption of prompt pay terms in federal contracts.

Ian Reid is the latest ACA chair to first serve as CCA chair. While just having settled in to the ACA chairmanship, Reid brings skill and professionalism to the ACA, honed through his experience lead­ ing the CCA. The quality of these leaders continues to shine beyond their term of chairman­ ship. Despite it being a number of years since fulfilling the role as chair, a number of these individuals continue to serve the Calgary and Alberta construction com­ munities. Most recently, Bob Robinson serves as an ACA co-chair for a best prac­

tices committee with Alberta Infrastruc­ ture. Kees Cusveller is leading extremely popular ACA workshops on non-standard contract terms. Their Alberta contribu­ tions have not gone unnoticed, with Bob Hildenbrandt, Kees Cusveller, and Dave Kinley all serving terms on the executive of the Canadian Construction Association.

The CCA’s contribution to the ACA board was not limited to great chairper­ sons. These chairs were selected from the numerous outstanding board and commit­ tee members CCA provided each year. In­ deed, the legacy of great leadership for the entire province will continue as past CCA chair Frederick Vine assumes the ACA chairmanship in 2020.

There is one initiative that serves to un­ derscore the important role and profes­ sionalism of the CCA. Early one Monday in August 2009, I received a call from a se­ nior official with Occupational Health and Safety. He asked “had I seen the weekend news?” I asked for clarification. He shared the tragic news of Michelle Krsek, a little girl who lost her life when materials fell from the heights of a building under con­ struction in downtown Calgary. The offi­ cial said “the industry had better respond or the minister would”. I immediately shared this conversation with Bob Rob­ inson. Within 24 hours, the Calgary Con­ struction Association created Calgary’s On-Site Construction Safety Committee,

which developed standards and a process for the submission of public protection site safety plans during the building permit stage, and development of the Advanced Weather Forecasting System, software to give contractors advanced notice of high winds. Comprised of 40 volunteers with combined experience exceeding 1,000 years, the CCA committee produced the On-Site Construction Best Practices Safety Guide, endorsed by the City of Calgary and Alberta Occupational Health and Safety.

Beyond the professional work of the as­ sociations, the Calgary Construction As­ sociation always provides a warm welcome to ACA in its functions, be they the annual general meeting, or OAEC workshops. A highlight each year is the invitation for the ACA chair and myself to attend the CCA board retreat in Banff. We are welcomed as full participants in the CCA board discus­ sions. Today, under Bill Black’s leadership, there is an increasingly close and aligned advocacy strategy between the two asso­ ciations. In my years as a rookie to today, the CCA delegates attending the national meetings of the Canadian Construction Association go out of their way to include the ACA in the social functions. While immediate past ACA chair Paul Heyens’ great leadership did not involve serving as Calgary chair, Heyens is indeed treated by CCA as ‘one of their own’.

So it’s easy to call someone a leader. It’s

more impressive when that is backed up.

So how does CCA stack up? First to scan tender documents to initiate a full online project advertisement expertise through BuildWorks Alberta. First to develop an Education Endowment Fund directed by a board of trustees which attracts new talent by providing annual scholarships. First to offer a Cold Weather Construction Work­ shop series across Canada. First to develop a research partnership on jobsite produc­ tivity with the University of Calgary a decade before productivity became an in­ dustry preoccupation. First to provide an electronic Advanced Weather Forecasting System to enhance on-site construction safety in partnership with the City of Cal­ gary. First to promote Gold Seal-designat­ ed projects with major owners. First to introduce Construction 101 to successive generations of employees new to our in­ dustry. First to develop the Owner – Ar­ chitect – Engineer – Contractor (OAEC) forum and working group. Recipient of a record three Construction Association of the Year awards from the Canadian Con­ struction Association. And my favourite of all – never straying from its core belief – we achieve so much more when we are united.

Chair’s Report 2019

By Bill Black & Norm Kuntz.

In a unique turn of events, 2018 saw two in­ dividuals, Bill Black and Norm Kuntz, take their place as the chair during the course of the year.

After six years on the board, Bill Black took on the role of chair for 2018 and, de­ spite the economic downturn continuing to tighten its grip on the industry, took up the responsibility along with the board to con­ tinue to be the voice for our industry and step up to the challenges that our members were experiencing.

At our strategic retreat in May, the board and invited guests rallied around the state of the industry and the needs of our members in order to truly explore how the CCA needed to respond to the challenges moving forward.

Facilitated by Shane Wallace of Cul­ tureSmith, our sessions began with a more reflective investigation of the ways in which we all as individuals are wired to respond and contribute to situations from a behav­ ioural perspective, and this really served

to set the stage for a safe environment that encouraged engagement by all in the impor­ tant conversations to follow.

The diversity in the room was successful­ ly leveraged through this approach, and as the sessions unfolded over the course of the next day and a half, we were able to capture a tremendous amount of knowledge from the experienced individuals in the room.

It is not that the issues for members were necessarily new, but the opportunity to con­ sider them in such a forum and view them all together in fresh context was an impor­ tant step in aligning our thoughts in order to inform our efforts with a view to the future.

Some of the issues that arrived at the top of the pile were: • Finding talent - whether it is about suc­ cession planning or finding experienced people this issue remains - even in a tighter economy.

• Finding opportunities and securing work in a tougher economy - Expanding the reach of BuildWorks and increased effec­ tiveness of networking events.

• Society is shifting and our industry needs to keep up with technology and other advances.

• Running successful organizations in times of tighter margins.

• Prompt payment and optimizing the flow of money.

• Advocacy with municipal, provincial, and federal government, and dealing with changing regulations.

• Education, training, and developing people.

These are not issues with easy answers, but they emerged as prime concerns and opportunities for the CCA and our indus­ try to pursue throughout 2018 and be­ yond. As we seek to further develop our strategic path moving into 2019, this will be the foundation on which we build the future of the CCA as a stronger presence in this city and a greater resource for our members.

Stepping into the chair position in Sep­ tember 2018 may not have been what was initially expected, but it was the right time to be in the right place as far as Norm Kuntz and the CCA were concerned.

Having made some changes, it was nec­ essary to ensure that we would be able to continue to perform in all areas and this is exactly what we were able to deliver. As Bill Black took on the role of president, he and the board were working very closely to ensure continuity and we were successful.

Our education program continued to

see increased participation. With expand­ ed courses, our program has developed over the years and it is undergoing further review to explore more course content and provide more scope for ongoing profes­ sional development.

Our 12th annual Career Expo at the BMO Centre saw over 2,000 high school youth from all over Calgary and surround­ ing area and even some parents interact with trade professionals and career oppor­ tunities over the course of a lively day. Our industry volunteer groups hosted various interactive booths and activities through the large exhibition hall ranging from woodworking to masonry, glazing, paint­ ing, and many more.

The sold-out Education Fund Golf Tour­ nament raised a record amount to allow us to continue to support scholarships and educational opportunities for our people seeking to pursue careers in our industry.

In December, following a Gold Seal award ceremony attended by the 15 recipi­ ents and their families and colleagues, over 300 people attended our Christmas Social event at the Construction Centre, and be­ tween carol singing, photographs with the Grey Cup, and the general atmosphere, it was a great celebration of the past year.

With Norm Kuntz as chair, the board has also begun to look at governance and the first phase in this involved a review of our bylaws with the intent to arrive at a more contemporary set of guidelines for our organization. The next steps will be more formalized terms of reference, changes to our election procedures, and an ongoing governance structure.

As we continue to work with the City of Calgary (CoC) through our liaison commit­ tee, we have been able to continue explor­ ing better ways by which the CoC can do business with our industry and how we can support the CoC in their objective to build a better Calgary. The degree of cooperation that we are experiencing has continued for a number of years now and promises to be the basis for a stronger relationship between our industry and the City moving forward.

Membership continued to grow through­ out the year and we finished 2018 with 854 member firms.

In looking back over an eventful 2018, while also looking ahead to 2019, is it reas­ suring to see a stronger organization, a fully engaged board, and a greater opportunity than ever before to build on our legacy and set our sights on the next 75 years in Cal­ gary. n

Elevate the industry’s image: Use #CDNConstructionGives

By Mary Van Buren, Canadian Construction Association president

To all CCA members: We know that you go above and beyond the important contribu­ tion you already make to the industry, by constructing necessary infrastructure including bridges and hospitals, or by keeping the roads free of ice and snow in the winter.

The government and Canadian public, however, are not as aware of how much you do in support of your communities; whether it is hiring at-risk youth or organizing food drives. Did you know that a federal bill is being proposed to mandate the reporting of “com­ munity benefits” on certain infrastructure projects? This could lead to increased red tape for you!

The industry is also facing a shortage of workers, at a time when there is $180 billion in federal money for infrastructure flowing

through to the provinces and municipalities. Your ability to attract and retain workers can be strengthened by your presence in the community – the outreach you do to include women, new Cana­ dians, indigenous and other under-represented segments of the workforce.

To get the credit you deserve for all your efforts in support of communities across Canada, we are asking you to use #CDNCon­ structionGives in your relevant tweets.

With over two million impressions so far, together we are rais­ ing the profile of the industry as a good corporate citizen and an employer of choice! See all #CDNConstructionGives action on cca-acc.com/cdnconstructiongives. n

Trade in 2019: How the CCA hopes to end the trade war with the USA

By Rodrigue Gilbert, Vice-President, Public Affairs CCA

The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) was encouraged by the targeted relief on aluminum and steel products an­ nounced before Christmas. However, these measures are temporary and the uncer­ tainty will still affect competitiveness and business confidence in Canada.

“The industry and investors need stabil­ ity of a permanent solution to the ongoing trade dispute to allow them to better plan for the future,” said CCA president Mary Van Buren in a statement.

The tariffs put on Canada by the United States are damaging because of the size of the export market they take up. USD $5.5 billion (83 per cent) of Canadian steel goes to the U.S., while USD $6 billion (43 per cent) of U.S. steel exports come to Canada. USD $8.5 billion (87 per cent) of Canadian aluminum exports go to the U.S. The tariffs are 25 per cent on steel and 10 per cent on aluminum. Canada responded on July 1, 2018, by placing $16.6 billion worth of tariffs on American steel aluminum and specific imports.

Timeline for resolution, relief measures and remissions

It was widely believed that the tariffs would end when the re-negotiation was complete. However, when the United StatesMexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) was formalized on October 1, 2018, the tariffs remained in place. Sources in the Canadian government were confident the sanctions could be lifted before Trump, Trudeau, and Pena-Nieto met in Argentina at the G20 in late November to formally sign the docu­ ment; however, that didn’t materialize, and the agreement was signed regardless. The CCA believes the Canadian government was eager to sign the agreement to avoid further tariffs on auto imports, something Trump had threatened before and that would be ex­ empt once the agreement was in place.

In order to assist domestic companies and industry affected by the tariffs, the Government of Canada put forward a number of measures during the summer and fall of 2018. Finance Canada issued a remission order on October 11 and again

on December 19 allowing Canadian com­ panies to apply for refunds on imported steel already purchased or to be exempt from the tariffs. An internal committee at Finance is in charge of hearing these re­ quests.

Innovation, Science and Economic De­ velopment Canada (ISED) announced in July it would add an additional $250 mil­ lion to its $1.2 billion Strategic Innovation Fund specifically aimed at helping the steel and aluminum sectors. An additional $800 million was also added to this fund in the November fall economic update.

The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has announced up to $800 million over the next two years for eligi­ ble small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME). This financing is to help companies expand into new markets, increase op­ erational and environmental efficiency, or purchase new technology and equipment.

Export Development Canada (EDC) an­ nounced up to $900 million available over the next two years in commercial financ­ ing and insurance to companies in the steel and aluminum sectors and related indus­ tries, including SMEs. The CCA continues to monitor the gov­ ernment’s efforts to end the tariffs with the U.S. and will provide real-time updates both on the negotiations themselves and any further measures aimed at easing the pain of the affected industries.

Educational Programing at the Calgary Construction Association: Develop your people, strengthen your team

Developing an understanding of the future is an important aspect of every planning process; planning in the construction industry is no different. Our industry is closely linked to the economy and society, and has often been characterized as a fragmented indus足 try that is slow to change. Given the state of current and probable future affairs, the industry may begin to experience change at un足 precedented levels. Therefore, is it so important for our team at the

Now more than ever, continuing education is paramount to fu足 ture success in any industry. The current skill shortage is one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry today. Baby Boomers with 30+ years of work experience are retiring and Gen足

eration X and Millennials are moving up into their roles, making it apparent that having educated employees is just as important as work experience.

In 2019, the Calgary Construction Association (CCA) will be re­ vamping our education program making it one of our top priorities moving forward. We will continue to offer a wide variety of highquality courses, including courses that will qualify for credits to­ ward your Gold Seal Certification, and will be adding workshops, professional development opportunities and speaker sessions in focused areas that will help support your businesses by developing your people and strengthening your teams.

Over the past year, the team at the CCA has consulted with members and industry experts, and the consensus is that career de­ velopment continues to be a high priority within the industry. The Calgary Construction Association is committed to working with companies and individuals who are looking to expand their knowl­ edge and skillset regardless of the stage they are at in their career. It is with this need from the industry that the Calgary Construction Association team has begun to work closely with our members to create educational paths to fit their individual needs. From work­ ing towards achieving their Gold Seal Certification, or simply seek­ ing opportunities to expand and develop their knowledge within the industry, the CCA team is here to listen and provide whatever support is needed.

In addition to the one-on-one support we offer, our team is also committed to gaining a better understanding of the industry needs when it comes to professional development and education

We congratulate Calgary Construction Association on 75 years of building a better Canada!

programs. This year, the team at the CCA will be developing an education task force. This task force will consist of members from our board of directors, as well as leaders within the construction industry who can provide valuable feedback as to what is impor­ tant for anyone in the industry who is looking to expand on their knowledge within their field. The goal for our education portfo­ lio for 2019 is to become the hub for construction education by running programs that directly relate to specific topics within the industry.

In late January, we launched our new website, providing a userfriendly registration process for all CCA courses and programs.

Our new website will also track the number of credits that have been obtained through courses taken with our association to go toward your Gold Seal Certification.

The National Gold Seal Certification program recognizes achieved excellence in management of construction in the indus­ trial, commercial, institutional (ICI) and heavy civil (HC) sec­ tors of the construction industry in Canada. In 2018, the Calgary Construction Association proved that it continues to remain on the forefront of the Gold Seal program, certifying over 60 indi­ viduals. With a strong focus on growth, we began the year iden­ tifying opportunities to expand the Gold Seal program. In doing so, we increased the number of mandatory courses we offered and developed an assistance program to help our current and prospective members create their pathway to success. Our team at the Calgary Construction Association prides ourselves with being advocates for this program. We are committed to helping

any individual or group by providing them with the information they will need to achieve their goal of becoming Gold Seal certi­ fied.

The Calgary Construction Association’s 2018 Event Guide: A look back at our programing throughout the year

By Taryn Rittberg The Calgary Construction Association is proud to have held so many successful events throughout 2018. We strive to provide our members with a diverse selection of programs focusing on educational learn­ ing, charity, and just plain old fun.

On July 10, 2018, the CCA held its annual Buck ‘N Build event at a new, bigger location. For the first time, this event was held at Calgary Stampede Park, and it was a resounding success. This yearly event allows members to throw their team the best stampede show­ down they've ever experienced. This year, we had over 900 registered, and it was a phenomenal day with our members, who got to mingle with the 20 members of government in attendance. Every year for the Calgary Stampede, the CCA hosts a big league barbecue cookoff.

In years past, this cookoff has been a parking lot event with great food and company. However, things were even bigger this year. Held at the Cowboys Tent (located directly outside the Cowboys Casino), drinks and lunch were served to attendees. With one lucky member walking away with a $2,500 Banff Springs getaway, this was a day to remember.

This year, we held our sold-out Spring Golf Tournament on June 12. The CCA's Throwback Spring Golf Tournament at Country Hills Golf Club was presented by Pomerleau. We raised over $9,000 for Hospice Calgary.

Our Women in Construction Golf Tournament was held on July 25. This event allowed men and women to join us for an ‘80s-themed Nine-Hole Best Ball Golf Tournament. This sold-out event was held at the Mckenzie Meadows Golf Course and Raised over $1,200. Addi­ tionally, we collected hundreds of clothing items for Dress for Success.

Our Education Fund Golf Tournament (Texas Scramble Educa­ tion Fund Golf Tournament) was held on Aug. 23 at the Carnmoney Golf and Country Club. It was a great opportunity for members to invest in the future, helping to raise over $84,000 for our education fund. All of the proceeds raised at this event were invested back into the industry to support those pursuing careers through scholarship offerings at SAIT, University of Calgary, and the Alberta Apprentice­ ship and Industry Training Board among other avenues. We would like to thank all of the sponsors who stepped up to the table and made this event tremendous.

The CCA started October with an Olympic Information Session where members were provided with detailed information on the city’s Olympic bid and to ensure members had all the information they needed prior to voting on this issue. Presenter Mary Moran provided detailed information on the positives and negatives of an Olympic bid.

This event was held with Studio Bell/National Music Centre.

The second Women in Construction (WiC) event of the year was held on Oct. 17. “Exposed Part One: True or Not?” was presented by the CCA's WiC. This event began with the Canadian Construc­ tion Association president, Mary Van Buren, providing an update on what the CDN-CA has been doing throughout 2018 as it pertains to diversity and inclusion.

This workshop facilitated discussions allowing groups to engage together around the following topics: • Perceptions vs. Projections: Learning to be aware of self, others, and the world around us and to practise positive projections to have productive, successful days.

Getting ready for participants to arrive at the “Exposed Part One: True or Not?” women’s conference was presented by the CCA’s WiC

• Barriers vs. Beliefs: Learning how to bring to light barriers to success and how to deal with them as either facts or beliefs while processing them in a way that leads to confidence in our ability to overcome them.

Attendees learned about themselves and how they can contribute to the industry in a safe, community environment. They also learned from other experienced attendees, including female and male lead­ ers in the construction industry. Participants engaged in activities together to broaden their view of the other members of our com­ munity.

It is important for the construction industry to evolve, especially in regards to creating respectful workplaces, appropriate employ­ ment practices, and the use of IT in the construction industry. Before we can change the industry, we need to understand ourselves and what impact that plays on our experiences within the workforce but also in our homes, communities, and beyond.

We are proud to say this event was very well-attended with nearly 100 attendees who dove into perception versus reality in the work­ place scenarios. This event was held at the Blackfoot Hotel.

As always, the CCA loves to remember and honour its past chairs, and 2018 was no exception. The Past Chairs Luncheon was held at the Bow Valley Ranch, with past chairs travelling from all over to attend this special event.

On Oct. 24, the CCA held its 12th Annual CCA Career Expo.

With over 2,000 students in attendance (from Calgary and surround­ ing areas), the event was a success. The event included participation from our partner associations, local construction companies, and educational programs (e.g. SAIT). This event aimed to provide stu­

dents with hands-on experiences and help to guide them in the next steps to obtaining a career within the industry.

The CCA Career Expo is Canada's largest hands-on, interactive Expo for high school students from Calgary and the surrounding area. The Expo is a unique opportunity to explore the wide variety of career options available in the construction industry and to learn about these careers through interactive and engaging exhibits.

Our youth leadership program held their YCL LIFT 3.0: Leaders Initiating our Future Together event on Nov. 8 at Mikey’s on 12th.

This is one of the most popular events on our agenda. This was our third time holding this event with discussion topics focusing on the construction industry’s hot topics and how they affect young con­ struction leaders. This year, we attempted to include new discussion topics. These included sustainability in the construction industry, discrimination in the workplace, and apps and drone technology in construction.

On Nov. 22, the Calgary Construction Association held their an­ nual Development Summit. The event was held at the Best Western Premier Calgary Plaza Hotel and Conference Centre. The Devel­ opment Summit provides both public and private businesses from Calgary an opportunity to highlight their past, present, and future construction projects, giving the community insight into the many construction projects across Calgary. The Development Summit pro­ vided a great opportunity for businesses involved in the development of the Greater Calgary region to spotlight all of their construction projects.

For commercial, industrial, or institutional construction sector companies, the CCA Development Summit was the must attend

event of the year. CCA members had the opportunity to mingle with a diverse group of private developers, owners, designers and city offi­ cials in the same room for one afternoon. The presenters highlighted and discussed the challenges one faces when working with other in­ dustry partners, what this entails, and how to overcome these issues.

Two industry panels provided insight from representatives from the public and private sectors. In addition, the City of Calgary, the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, and Gibbs Gage Architects held presentations.

The goal of the 2018 Development Summit was to showcase the positive impact which our sponsor and member organizations have on our community, as well as demonstrate the way through which

they provide insight into organizing future projects. Attendees dis­ cussed challenges that businesses face in this day and age, and the direction the construction industry is headed.

With the holiday season approaching, the CCA hosted their an­ nual Christmas Social on Dec. 6. This wonderful event is an everexpanding celebration, and this year was no exception. We celebrat­ ed the holiday season and a wonderful year with great people, good food, fantastic entertainment, and a carol singalong! With over 350 people in attendance, the Christmas Social, held at the CCA head office, was a memorable and fun time.

We look forward to seeing all of our CCA members in the coming year at a variety of events we have planned just for you. n

Celebrating 75 years of excellence

By Dave Smith, CCA President (1984-2017) It is time to uncork a few bottles of cham­ pagne as the Calgary Construction Associa­ tion (CCA) celebrates its 75th anniversary in 2019. No need to pair the champagne with caviar and oysters, as buttered popcorn and potato chips will do! To all the hardworking people that make up the construc­ tion industry in Calgary and who have con­ structed one of the world’s greatest cities, this celebration is for you!

When I attended my first CCA directors meeting in 1984, I was in awe of the people I was sitting amongst. Over the course of my 33 years with the association, all of the directors and members, along with oth­ ers from across Canada were my mentors.

What a tremendous career I had working

alongside dynamic business professionals.

Since the inception of the association, I will give a brief overview “As I see it”, noting the growth of the city of Calgary along with touching on a few of CCA’s success stories.

In 1944 when the newly formed Calgary Builders Exchange (CBE) filed their by-laws as a not-for-profit organization with the Al­ berta Government, the Second World War was coming to an end and the population of Calgary was closing in on 100,000. The city back then, often referred to as “Cow Town”, was unsophisticated and certainly not world class. Calgary would experience a massive expansion following the Second World War, as over one-million Canadian veterans would be returning to their home­

land, many of them to the city of Calgary, that was built on the reputation of ranchers who rode horseback in the dusty foothills to round-up their cattle that provided Canadi­ ans with some of the world’s finest beef.

Everything changed in the province of Alberta on February 13, 1947. The ground began to rumble near Devon, Alberta, and roughnecks covered in grease opened creak­ ing valves which allowed a mixture of crude oil and gas to fire flames 15 metres into the air. The Leduc No. 1 oil well forever changed the course of Alberta’s construction indus­ try. While oil flowed out of the province, money flowed in, and Calgary started to ex­ perience tremendous growth, as the popula­ tion went from 132,000 in 1950 to 320,000

in 1965, a growth of 142 per cent in just 15 years, the first of many booms.

After 20 years of the Great Depression and the Second World War, the 1950s was an era of prosperity and society was chang­ ing. The folks in the rural areas moved into town, their farm land quickly turned into urban sprawl as we call it today, and neighbourhoods such as Cambrian Heights, Spruce Cliff, Thorncliffe, and Chinook Park were sprouting. This meant new roads would have to be built, which was great news for civil contractors.

In the ‘50s and ‘60s, young affluent in­ dividuals were eager to get a car to tour America. With their increase in mobil­ ity and with the love for automobiles, 57 Chevys with chrome-tipped fin-tails, along with 61 T-birds with their jet-inspired round tail-lamps, were traveling on Cal­ gary roads. Major civil projects in the ‘50s included two underpasses beneath the CPR tracks, one at 4th Street S.W. and a second underpass at 8th Street S.W. into downtown from the south. In addition, a new Mewata Bridge (14th Street) was built connecting the new northwest developments, cutting traveling time for workers going home from the downtown core by five minutes. How times have changed with the expansion of existing road arteries, new overpasses and expressways such as the Deerfoot Trail and the new Stoney Trail ring road. Contractors in Calgary have been very innovative as the Stoney Trail Bridge over the Bow River in northwest Calgary won the Canadian Con­ struction Association Hugh Montgomery Memorial Gold Medal for Innovation in Construction. This gold medal presented annually for innovation has been presented to many Calgarians for other projects such as: the Calgary Saddledome, Olympic Oval, Calgary Soccer Centre, South Health Cam­ pus, Cambie Street Bridge in Vancouver, along with Confederation Bridge. Calgary contractors have received this medal for in­ novation more times than that of any other Canadian city.

These new roads being built since Cal­ gary’s first boom are taken for granted, and few people realize that the CCA played a major role when it comes to funding mas­ sive transportation infrastructure projects.

In the late 1990’s, a CCA team which con­ sisted of executives from various construc­ tion firms in Calgary presented to Premier Ralph Klein and Alberta MLAs a proposal

that a portion of Alberta’s gas tax should go back to the municipality to finance road infrastructure. That proposal was accepted by the Alberta Government and in the first year of implementing the new Gas Tax Fund (GTF), three new overpasses were built in Calgary at a cost of $140 million. Over the past two decades, this initiative by the CCA has resulted in Alberta’s GTF allocating over $2 billion towards building Calgary’s road infrastructure. Under the GTF, Alberta municipalities will receive $229.5 million in 2018/19. This CCA initiative, which was implemented by the Alberta Government, was submitted to the Canadian Construc­ tion Association, who in turn awarded the CCA the Association Partnership Award in 2001. This award was again presented to the CCA by the national organization in 2004 for positive employment practices which encourages women to build a career in con­ struction, and again in 2016 for working in partnership with the City of Calgary in de­ veloping better construction contract terms and conditions. No other construction as­ sociation in Canada, in which there are over 60, has won this award three times.

Calgary Transit began as the Calgary Street Railway in 1909, with 12 electric street cars, then came the electric trolley­ buses, and in 1981 Calgary’s first LRT cars began to operate. Today the LRT has four lines, with 46 LRT stations, and the city’s transit system provides ridership for over 100-million people annually.

Transportation needs are certainly chang­ ing in the 21st century, the younger work­ force are making different choices than that of the Baby Boomers, as we see a decline in driver’s licenses being issued. The youth of today don’t care about chrome and Mickey Thompson burnouts, and with that in mind, all of the major auto manufactures are rac­ ing to develop the autonomous self-driving vehicle. The ways and means of transporta­ tion will certainly change in the years ahead.

Calgary’s first airport built in 1914 was 10-kilometres west of the city limits in a place called Bowness, which was only 11 years after the Wright brothers made his­ tory in Kitty Hawk. In 1956, the new Mc­ Call Field Airport, named after a local Sec­ ond World War flying ace Fred McCall was built. The new terminal was Canada’s most advanced and modern airport facility that served the city for 21 years. In 1961, regu­ lar jet air services reached Calgary and the

modern era of flight and aviation began. In 1977, Calgary opened its new $130 million state-of-the-art terminal building and the Air France Concorde flew over the skies of the city before landing at the new terminal.

Four decades later, Calgary’s International Airport expanded after 15 years of planning and five years of construction. This $2.6-bil­ lion investment doubled the size of the air­ port by adding nearly two-million square feet, the equivalent to 34 football fields. In addition, the Calgary Airport Authority saw to it that a new runway be built, which be­ came the longest airport runway in Canada.

In 2017, YYC welcomed 16.3 million pas­ sengers with 250 passenger flights per day.

Calgary’s aviation history is a true reflection of the city’s growth and is an important driv­ er for the city’s economy.

The local commercial and institutional contractors were busy throughout those post war years. Nothing satisfied the con­ struction industry more than building proj­ ects such as shopping malls, office towers, hospitals, schools, and recreational centres.

With Calgary growing and maturing as a city, the demand for retail businesses in­ creased in the post war years. Contractors

built the North Hill Shopping Mall in 1956, and it was Calgary’s first enclosed mall. The Chinook Mall, now known as CF Chinook Centre followed suit in 1960; so much for the charm of those small corner stores. It’s not only the small corner stores that have closed, so has Eaton’s and Sears Canada, two iconic stores that have vanished from the retail scene. Back in the ‘50s, I, along with my school chums, used the Sears Christmas catalogue as shin pads when we played hockey on those outdoor ponds in Moose Jaw. The question being asked now is what will happen to all the monster brickand-mortar malls like CrossIron Mills and the Walmarts of the world with today’s ecommerce? Amazon was incorporated in 1994, and Jeff Bezos, who is now the richest man in the world, sold his first book online from his garage in the Seattle area in 1995.

Twenty-four years later, Amazon is now the world’s third-largest company with market capitalization that hit $1 trillion in Septem­ ber 2018.

In the early 1900s, Paskapoo sandstone was used to build marque buildings in the city, such as Calgary’s historical Old City Hall (1911) and the Grain Exchange Build­ ing (1910), along with several schools from 1894 to 1914. In the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s, concrete came of age. Projects such as the Bearspaw Dam were built along with the Husky Tower (now known as the Calgary Tower) that utilized reinforced concrete and was built at a cost of $3.5 million. When the Husky Tower was completed in 1968, it put Calgary on the map as it was the tallest freestanding structure in North America.

Speaking of concrete, the raft slab of the Bow Tower is a $10 million buried-concrete monument 2,787 square metres and threemetres thick. The continuous pour of 13,778 cubic metres of concrete took 40 hours and it was the third-largest continuous pour in the world; a testament to the skills and ca­ pacity of Calgary’s construction community.

At the time the Bow Tower was being built, city council passed a motion that raised per­ mit fees for sidewalk and street lane closures by 500 and 1,000 per cent respectively. All it took was one meeting by the CCA executive with then-mayor Dave Bronconnier outlin­ ing the negative impact this motion had on developers and contractors, and for the con­ tinued growth of the city, and the motion was rescinded. The CCA’s collective voice in this single incident was for the greater good,

and saved over $1 million in permit fees on the Bow project alone.

For years, the 13-storey Pallister Hotel, built at a cost of $1.5 million, dominated the Calgary skyline when it opened in 1914, as the city rescinded an old fire safety bylaw which restricted buildings to only 12 sto­ ries. In 1955, the glass and glazing industry introduced the curtain wall system which was utilized on the Petrochemical Build­ ing located at 8th Avenue and 7th Street S.W. Other significant buildings included Elveden House, completed in 1960, one of Calgary’s first skyscrapers built with steel,

and the Barron Building on 8th Avenue, which helped bring the offices of oil and gas companies to Calgary. In celebration of the province’s 50th anniversary, the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium was opened in Calgary in 1957 along with its sister building in Edmonton. Several other buildings in the downtown core were built along 9th Avenue, which was known as “Petroleum Row”, but those old buildings are nothing like today’s skyscrapers, Bankers Hall and 8th Avenue Place, which now line 9th Avenue. The Bow Tower, which was built at a cost of $1.2 bil­ lion (58 storeys, 236 metres/774 feet) was

considered to be the start of redevelopment for Calgary’s Downtown East Village, and when completed in 2012, it was ranked as one of the top 10 architectural projects in the world. Calgary’s Brookfield Place (56 storeys, 247 metres/810 feet) is the city’s tallest skyscraper and is the second tallest in Canada outside of Toronto. These are only a few projects that have changed the city of Calgary’s skyline, which symbolizes the city’s success and greatness.

The Economist, an international magazine ranked Calgary in 2017 as the fifth most liv­ able city in the world with a score of 96.6 out of 100 based on 30 qualitative and quantita­ tive factors. Calgary, without any doubt is a world-class city.

Television, the new communication me­ dium in Calgary, aired its first broadcast in 1954. The Baby Boomers will certainly recall the familiar Indian Chief screen test image and the forest of television anten­ nas that appeared on the rooftops of bun­ galows in the suburbs. Parental concern in the ‘50s was about the amount of time their children spent in front of the TV. Educa­ tors were concerned about the distraction for children and the prospect of mass il­ literacy, while others saw it as a wonderful new tool for dissemination of information.

Seven decades later, the same holds true with children and their use of portable gam­ ing systems, tablets, cell phones, and other electronic devices.

Communications for the construction in­ dustry was critical when it came to govern­ ment advocacy along with providing proj­ ect tender information to the construction community. In the 1940s, Bob Scrimgeour, who was the secretary of the Calgary Build­ ers Exchange (CBE), would pick up tender documents on his bicycle from the offices of the architects to provide a one-stop-shop of project information for the members of the exchange. In 1963, the CBE became known at the Calgary Construction Association and the organization built the Calgary Con­ struction Centre with its grand opening in 1981. The CCA Plans Room at the newly built construction centre had 54 private cubicles for estimators to do their take-offs, in addition to five telephone booths which enabled estimators to contact suppliers for pricing of materials. One must remember, cell phones were only introduced to the public in 1984 and the first hand-held cell phone built by Motorola sold for $3,995. It

was not until 1996 that cell phones became popular and the phone booth became ex­ tinct.

In the year 2000, the CCA purchased a scanner and all project tender documents (drawings and specifications) in Alberta were then made available electronically on­ line, which eliminated the need for a physi­ cal plans room.

To improve the efficiency of CCA opera­ tions, the association purchased two word processors for $80,000 in 1980. In 1986 the word processors were obsolete. In 1984, the CCA’s telex machine was moth-balled and the CCA purchased its first computer.

In 1989, CCA’s accounting system was transferred from paper ledger to computer, and the fax machine was also introduced to the CCA in the late ‘80s. The fax machine was a huge relief for the association staff, as every Wednesday the staff would put on their white smocks because black ink would fly off the old Gestetner ink rollers dur­ ing the printing of the CCA weekly News and Plans Room Information Bulletin. This printing process of providing vital infor­ mation to the construction industry would take a full day by three staff, along with two to three days more for Canada Post to deliver the information to the association members.

In 1991, the CCA was the first local construction association in Canada to pro­ duce an electronic bulletin board service which was available 24/7 via the Internet.

The CCA did a demonstration to Canada’s local construction associations (LCAs) and this event was hosted by the Canadian Construction Association in Ottawa. Few LCAs appeared interested. It was only four years later that the LCAs embraced the elec­ tronic process, and 18 LCAs representing all of the major cities coast to coast formed the Construction Opportunities On-Line Network (COOLNet Canada) in Frederic­ ton, New Brunswick. The objective being that a national electronic online system would be developed. While the concept was right, few associations wanted to share their project information with others, thus the national partnership did not exist for long. The CCA kept the COOLNet brand along with the other eight local construc­ tion associations in Alberta for 23 years, and was the only province to retain it.

COOLNet Alberta’s electronic plans room was the best in the country and captured

and made available project information to all members of the nine local construction associations throughout the province. For numerous years several LCAs from across Canada worked towards a unified partner­ ship, and in 2018, the three western prov­ inces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Mani­ toba joined forces for what is now called BuildWorks Canada.

As I see it, there are many challenges that face the province of Alberta and the construction industry. The CCA and its af­ filiated associations, the Alberta and Cana­ dian Construction Associations must bring a stronger voice to government. Albertans know that we will have to reduce our de­ pendence on oil to reduce carbon emissions and to build sustainable cities of the future.

However, Green Activism is a threat to our democracy in Canada, and with that, the CCA and its affiliated associations must become much more proactive. How is it that we cannot even expand the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline (TMP) when a small country like Azerbaijan is currently building a $40-billion maze of pipelines to service European countries. How many Ca­ nadians realize that as of August 30, 2017 when the worked stopped on twinning the TMP, Canada has lost over $11 billion and continues to lose $55,000 per minute, while our federal government attempts to address poverty, housing, health care, and educa­ tion; quite ironic! How I see it, Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada have to im­ port oil, when Canada has 10 per cent of the world’s oil reserves! Canada imports about one-billion barrels of oil per year, nearly all into Quebec and Ontario in spite of the fact Canada exports 3.1-billion barrels. Saudi Arabia alone ships roughly $10 million per day of oil into Canada, in addition to other countries in the Middle East.

As I see it, the CCA partnership with the University of Calgary has resulted in

improved productivity on job sites which was a result of a joint-venture research project. The CCA must continue to support research which will provide innovative so­ lutions. Today, the University of Calgary is exploring what Alberta can do with 164-bil­ lion barrels of oil in the oil sands….bitumen beyond combustion. Researchers at the U of C are finding ways to utilize bitumen to develop carbon fiber for high-tech compos­ ites, vanadium for batteries and steel, stron­ ger plywood’s and high-grade asphalt, all of which will benefit the construction indus­ try. Education and research are key to our future.

As I see it, the CCA’s annual OAEC work­ shop has delivered solutions to issues once looked upon as formidable and disruptive.

These challenges will certainly be much greater than what the CCA expe­ rienced to this point in the association’s his­ tory. However, I am confident that the CCA will continue to be recognized for its unpar­ alleled leadership.

The bronze statue of The Constructor in the foyer of the Calgary Construction Cen­ tre reflects upon the thousands of people that have built Calgary, especially the CCA’s hard-working directors and volunteers who roll-up their sleeves and donate their time and expertise to build a better business en­ vironment for the OAEC communities.

I have been honoured and very privileged to have been able to work with hundreds of professional men and women who have built Calgary. So, if I may ask of you to lift your glass of champagne as here is my toast to all of you: Wishing the CCA and all of its mem­ bers success in the years to come! n

A unified approach to healthcare: The Calgary Cancer Centre leads the way

By Melanie Franner

Exterior, South View

The new Calgary Cancer Centre (CCC) will be noteworthy for its abil­ ity to provide leading-edge cancer treatment to thousands of patients across the region. The 127,000-square-metre facility will offer more than 100 patient exam rooms, 160 inpatient unit beds, more than 100 chemotherapy chairs, 12 radiation vaults, additional space for clinical trials, and much-needed clinical and operational support services.

“Our government is fighting for what matters to Albertans,” states Sandra Jansen, minister of infrastructure, Government of Alberta.

“Our $1.4 billion investment in the Calgary Cancer Centre means that families will have access to one of the largest and most technologically advanced cancer care centres ever built. This state-of-the-art facility will be a one-of-a-kind hub for patient care, education, and cancer research.”

But, perhaps even more interesting is that the CCC will consolidate existing services within the Calgary area.

“This is the largest cancer care hospital to be built in Canada,” states Keesa Hutchinson, director of project delivery for the CCC, Alberta Infrastructure. “This will be the western hub of cancer care. It’s sig­ nificant for the city of Calgary because we’re pulling together all of the cancer-care facilities located throughout the city and putting them together in one location. This is the future of cancer care in Canada.”

And it’s the future in more ways than one.

Building a vision

Construction on the CCC began in late 2017. The public opening is anticipated to be 2023.

“We spent about two years on the design itself,” explains Hutchin­ son. “We’re still undergoing the engagement process, but so far we’ve had hundreds of meetings with stakeholders – committee members, clinical staff, technical staff, maintenance, housekeeping, patients, and families. We strongly believe that if you want a facility to work, you need to invest the time upfront and conduct comprehensive stakeholder meetings.”

Feedback from these meetings helped determine the design and layout of the CCC. “There were thousands of hours of consultation with all types of stakeholders,” says Rob Adamson, partner, DIALOG. The company collaborated with Stantec Architecture on the architectural design for the project. “This isn’t unusual in health-care design, but I would say that the amount and number of stakeholder engagement sessions was much more than in a normal project. But it proved very helpful in getting a solution that worked for everyone.”

This solution is one inspired by hope.

“The actual design is based on a hug,” explains Hutchinson. “The 12-storey component of the building is ‘embracing’ the eight-storey

component, with a large atrium in between. The idea is to bring in an abundance of natural daylight and exposure to nature to make it a positive experience for patients and family.”

DIALOG describes the new CCC as a building that will symbolize the type of care patients can expect to receive: “The design features two curving L-shaped forms that come together in an embrace that surrounds an all-season garden at the ‘heart’. The heart will provide year-round access and views to nature for patients and their families as they receive care and treatment.”

Hutchinson states that the design was central to the facility’s vision.

“We wanted the Cancer Care Centre itself to be a vision of hope in support of patients and family,” she says, adding that the building design itself was almost two years in the making.

One of the key architectural features of the building that came out of the lengthy and comprehensive engagement process was the placement of patient rooms at the top of the building to capture the stunning views to the mountains, the river valley, or the city centre.

Other features include the central open-air courtyard, the rooftop healing gardens, and the use of the facility itself as a “gateway” build­ ing to the FMC Medical Campus.

“The building was designed with all users in mind,” says Adamson.

“The focus is not only on treatment, but on overall healing, including family spaces, privacy, and unique design features that allow families to participate with dignity and privacy in the care journey.”

Adamson notes the “extras” that will be incorporated into the new facility, like the special “zen-like” gardens in the radiation therapy areas that provide calming and serene environments, and the roof­ top gardens that have been designed for staff and patients to enjoy unique outdoor areas.

“The outdoor central courtyard provides a beautiful exterior space to contemplate and have access to the outside,” he continues. “It also helps to capture natural light deep within the building.”

The CCC will also reflect the needs of the research team.

“There is a very high degree of research areas in the building that are labs related to the University of Calgary’s Cummings School of Medicine Oncology Program,” notes Adamson. “This means that world leaders will conduct current state-of-the-art research in the very building where treatment occurs. This allows for innovative ‘bench-to-bed’ treatment, bringing more current care for cancer available anywhere in Canada.”

The CCC will also be noteworthy for being LEED Silver certified.

Adamson cites some of the methods used to attain this certifica­ tion as: the high-performance building envelope; the dynamic glass used, which will control unwanted solar gain; and a very controlled window-to-wall ratio.

“The building orientation and massing was also specifically con­ sidered in the control of heat gain and heat loss,” he adds.

This is the largest cancer care hospital to be built in Canada. excavation of the five-level basement,” explains Hendrie. “The 1,650-parkade structure is nearing completion and commencement of the first clinical floor has begun.”

The sheer size of the project makes it one of the largest construc­ tion projects currently underway in the city.

“The scale of the project is significant, with a gross floor area of over two-million square feet and over 6,000 rooms,” says Hendrie, who adds that some of the more unusual elements to the building (from a construction perspective) are the 15 radiation vaults, each of which requires a composite concrete/steel structure over two mm thick, the nine-metre cantilevers, and the complex requirements of the hospital technology systems and furniture and equipment.

A design-build project, the CCC is still “in design” even though work is already well underway.

The design of the project has been undertaken in four stages: sche­ matic design; 50 per cent design; 75 per cent design; and 100 per cent Issued for Construction (IFC) documentation.

“The design is currently in the 100 per cent IFC phases and will be completed during Q2 2019,” adds Hendrie. “The design has been a very collaborative process between the consultants, predominantly DIALOG and Stantec, the province’s 400 subject matter experts, and over 500 user consultation meetings.”

Hendrie anticipates that the vast majority of the construction workforce will be local, although he notes that some specialist in­

“The CCC is thought to be the second-largest cancer care centre in North America,” states Toby Hendrie, project manager, PCL Con­ struction Management Inc. “This is PCL’s largest-ever design-build project in history.”

stallers will have to come from outside the province (e.g. radiation shielding and clini­ cal equipment installation).

“The project will likely peak at 1,500 workers, although as many as 10,000 dif­ ferent people will likely be involved in the design and construction activities throughout the project,” he states.

Inner workings

Ferguson Corporation has been tasked with supplying the glass and curtain wall components for the CCC. The company has been a staple in Calgary since 1975. Its expertise lays in the design and installa­ tion of curtain walls, skylights, aluminum entrances, structural glass, storefronts, air/vapour barriers, sliding aluminum en­ trance doors, glass and glazing, as well as aluminum metal wall panel and cladding systems.

“This is both a large and complex proj­ ect for us,” states Pat Arts, general man­ ager, Ferguson. “It involves a significant amount of glass and it also has some unique elements to it.”

Arts estimates that there will be about 50,000 square feet of glass installed for the CCC’s “punched” openings or patient rooms. This will be in addition to the 100,000 square feet of glass used for the curtain wall (mainly the courtyard areas) and front entranceways.

“Some of the glass to be used will be ‘dynamic’,” explains Arts. “It will be ca­ pable of changing tint from clear to dark.

It’s a new innovative product that requires a unique installation because there are wires that have to feed into the frames.

The wires will be all connected to a com­ puter so that the tint of the glass can au­ tomatically change to maximize natural light and reduce heat and glare as the sun comes and goes.”

Arts adds that much of the glass at the CCC will be absent of window treatment.

“The glass will be able to get dark enough that blinds won’t be needed, maintaining the need for privacy,” he says.

Currently, Arts is anticipating that the company will begin working on site at the start of summer 2019. The job will take about a year to complete and will entail a steady crew of about 40 throughout.

Calgary-based Thermal Systems will also be at the CCC site for about a year.

anticipates having a crew of about 20 in­ stall the 22,000 tiles and related building envelop system that will be used on the building’s exterior.

“We will be doing all of the tile work on the building’s exterior,” he explains, citing the work as reaching from ground level up to the eighth storey.

The tiles themselves will be of varying sizes. They will be manufactured in Ger­ many by Moeding Ceramic Façade.

“We’ve worked with this company for years,” says Kent. “Their tiles are made from natural materials. The clay is of very

good quality so the tiles will have great weather resistance.”

Kent anticipates starting work on the project in mid-2019.

“This will be a complex job because of the tight schedule and the fact that it is a high-profile project,” states Kent, who is more than confident that the 30+ year-old company is up for the task.

Flynn Canada Inc. is another company involved with the CCC. “We’re on site right now doing the wa­ terproofing on the foundation walls,” ex­ plains Dan Sims, vice-president, Alberta,

CHISHOLM

Flynn Canada Ltd. “We started last spring and will probably wrap up in mid-2019.”

Because this part of the project is below grade, Sims says the emphasis is on the schedule itself.

“We’ve had a crew of eight working on the project throughout,” he says. “We may ramp up as we get closer to the finish.”

Flynn Canada will also be responsible for the supply and install of the Alumi­ num Composite Panels on the exterior of the CCC. This includes the main build­ ing and the connector bridge. The panels themselves will be fabricated in the com­ pany’s Edmonton facility. Sims estimates that they will total about 8,000.

“We are installing our standard alumi­ num composite panels, but they will vary in shape and size,” he says. “We will be pre-planning our construction sequence ahead of us mobilizing on site so we can ensure the project runs smoothly in con­ junction with PCL’s schedule.”

Sims anticipates that the panel installa­ tion will start October 2019 and will fin­ ish up in spring of 2021, and will require a crew of 40 at peak periods.

The other component of the CCC project that has been awarded to Flynn Canada is the glass works on the connec­ tor bridge that will link the CCC with the FMC Medical Campus and the Plus 15 pe­ destrian network. The connector bridge will measure 1,100 feet in length and will require approximately 11,000 square feet of glass. It is expected to take three months to install the glazing portion of the connector.

The new CCC will undoubtedly be a vi­ sion of hope for all who will be touched by cancer in the years to come. Patients, families, employees and friends – all who walk through the doors will be struck by the CCC’s commitment to supporting pa­ tient care and to providing the very latest medical treatment possible in a researchcentric environment.

“We have had very good response from the community – and beyond,” concludes Hutchinson. “We’re seeing other prov­ inces beginning to follow our lead and consolidate their resources to provide the best health care available.” n

Cannabis in the workplace Considerations for employers in a changing regulatory environment Submitted by HMC Lawyers LLP NOTE: This article is intended to provide legal information and not legal advice. The reader should seek legal advice on any specific issues arising in the workplace.

Individuals 18 years of age or older are now permitted to buy canna­ bis products from retailers that receive their products from the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission. Buyers are limited to 30 grams of cannabis per transaction, which is also the legal public possession limit.

Individuals are allowed to consume cannabis in their homes and in cer­ tain designated public spaces.

To comply with occupational health and safety legislation, employers have a duty to provide a safe work environment and take all reasonable steps to protect the health and safety of employees in the workplace.

Many employers may already have policies in place that govern the use of alcohol and drugs that may have to be amended to consider cannabis.

For example, even though it is now legal to carry small amounts of can­ nabis in public, an employer can determine if its presence is permitted at the workplace just as employers are able to do with alcohol.

Drug testing in safety-sensitive positions

Workers who are impaired on the job, by cannabis or otherwise, can be a danger to their coworkers and themselves. In order to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the workplace, employers should develop clear policies of what is considered impairment and how im­ pairment issues will be investigated and otherwise handled. Employers should also implement policies on how to deal with substance depen­ dency issues.

Courts have stated that an employer must apply a “balancing of inter­ ests” when making drug and alcohol policies in the workplace, where an employer’s safety concerns must be balanced with an employee’s right to privacy. The general rule regarding drug testing is that an employer can test an employee who occupies a safety-sensitive position if there is reasonable cause to believe that the employee was impaired while on

duty, was involved in a significant workplace accident or incident caused by impairment, or was returning to work after treatment for substance abuse. Random drug testing is generally viewed as an unjustified affront to the dignity and privacy of employees unless there is evidence of a high safety risk; for example, a general and serious problem with substance abuse in a particular workplace. Simply showing that a workplace is in­ herently dangerous is not sufficient to justify random drug and alco­ hol testing. An employer must have something akin to evidence which compellingly demonstrates an out-of-control drug culture taking hold in a safety-sensitive workplace.

Employers’ duty to accommodate and duty to inquire

In addition to limitations on drug testing, the Alberta Human Rights Act prohibits organizations from discriminating against a per­ son based on certain enumerated grounds, which include a physical or mental disability. The Canadian Human Rights Act defines “dis­ ability” as any previous or existing mental or physical disability and includes disfigurement and previous or existing dependence on al­ cohol or drugs. Therefore, employers have a legal duty to accommo­ date employees with disabilities, including substance dependency on cannabis. Employers also have an obligation to accommodate the use of cannabis as a treatment of other disabilities when prescribed by a medical professional. There are, however, limitations to this duty to accommodate, and an employer is not required to accom­ modate an employee by allowing that employee to be impaired in the workplace.

If an employee requires medication that is known to cause impair­ ment, including cannabis, it is necessary for that employee to notify his or her employer, and this requirement should be made clear in

an employer’s drug and alcohol policy. Similarly, when an employer has reason to suspect that a medical condition may be impacting an employee’s ability to work, the employer has an obligation to make inquiries regarding that employee’s health and its potential impact on the employee’s work. An employer will be expected to provide accommodation of an employee’s disability if the employer “ought reasonably to have been aware” of the disability.

Where an employee requires accommodation because of a disabil­ ity, the employer is entitled to request certain information necessary to allow the employer to satisfy its duties under human rights legisla­ tion. Generally, the following principles should be followed: (1) dis­ closure of the employee’s personal information must be as minimally invasive as possible; (2) the employer has a right to information re­ garding the employee’s prognosis, not diagnosis; and (3) information requested must be reasonably required to accomplish the legitimate business purpose for which it is being collected by the employer. In addition, in certain circumstances, an employer is able to send an employee for an assessment by a medical professional to determine appropriate work restrictions.

When an employee requires accommodation of a disability, the employer and the employee are obligated to work together to create and implement a reasonable accommodation plan. Where a medi­ cal professional has determined that an employee requires cannabis for medical use, the employer may need to consider alternative ar­ rangements for the employee, including moving an employee out of a safety-sensitive position, altering an employee’s daily responsibili­ ties, or allowing for more frequent breaks.

Employer defences of undue hardship and bona fide occupational requirement

An employer’s duty to accommodate an employee’s disability is lim­ ited in two ways. An employer is only obligated to accommodate an em­ ployee’s needs to the point of undue hardship. In assessing whether an employer has met its duty to accommodate an employee to the point of undue hardship, factors that will be considered include financial costs, problems with employee morale, change to the structure or organiza­ tion of the workplace, the size of employer and safety obligations.

An employer is also not required to accommodate a disability where that disability results in the employee being unable to perform a bona fide occupational requirement. A bona fide occupational requirement means that there is a genuine need in a particular employee’s position for a particular characteristic. A classic example is that it is bona fide occupational requirement for a school bus driver not to be blind. The test for a bona fide occupational requirement is whether it: (1) is ratio­ nally connected to the performance of the job; (2) adopted under an honest and good faith belief that it was necessary to the fulfillment of that work-related purpose; and (3) is reasonably necessary to accom­ plish that work-related purpose. If these factors are met, an employer will have a defence to allegations of discrimination.

Conclusion

Both employers and employees have a role to play to ensure health and safety requirements in the workplace are met. Employers should implement clear policies that address disabilities related to substance use or dependence in the workplace to ensure transparency. This will allow for a fair and consistent approach to addressing these issues. n

Tiller Design and the Calgary Construction Association: The importance of branding

By Brandon Nickerson

What is branding?

At Tiller, we’ve had the privilege of working with many amazing companies to craft their new brand from scratch or to re-envision their existing brand. Our favourite part of this process is working closely with a company to visualize and communicate the core of their business and sharing in the excitement of the im­ pact that will make. We recently took on a massive rebrand for ourselves and have seen firsthand the value branding has had on our company.

Branding is more than just a logo, fonts, and colours. Your brand represents who you are, what you stand for, and how you do business. A brand is primarily made up of three main components: brand iden­ tity (visual design), messaging, and expe­ rience. The combination of these compo­ nents is what helps form the perception

116

Calgary Construction Association Magazine

people have of your business. These three components each need to play a key role and work together to communicate clearly and connect your audience to your busi­ ness.

Brand identity consists of logo, colour palette, typography, imagery, website, so­ cial media, marketing material, and any other visual elements associated with your company. The elements of your brand identity are often packaged together in a brand guideline or brand book. A brand guideline helps maintain the integrity of your brand by providing instruction on how to best implement your visual ele­ ments. A strong brand identity is consis­ tent across all visual material associated with your company.

Brand messaging communicates your values, key differentiators, and how your company solves a problem or makes life

better for your audience. Common uses of brand messaging includes your website, social media channels, email communica­ tions, internal communications, and all marketing material. Strong brand mes­ saging is concise with absolute clarity and, by all means, should avoid confusing your audience.

Brand experience is made up of the in­ teractions your audience has with your brand visuals, messaging, and directly with your company. Direct interactions with your company can be anything from viewing your website, to completing a transaction, engaging in your services, or speaking with a company associate over the phone, in person, or online. An effec­ tive brand has a strong cohesion between visuals, communication, and the direct in­ teractions customers have with your com­ pany.

Why does branding matter?

Due to factors such as competition, sea­ sonality, and changes in technology, prod­ ucts and services can have limited life cycles while brands have much more longevity.

People don’t have relationships with prod­ ucts and services, but they do have relation­ ships with brands. Without branding there’s no differentiation. In addition to drawing at­ tention to your company, effective branding builds credibility, trust, loyalty, and percep­ tion of quality.

Credibility is built by delivering highquality products and exceptional customer service. This will turn your customers into big fans of your brand and provides a great opportunity to gather testimonials and social proof.

In order to build trust with your audience there needs to be consistency between your brand’s visual elements, messaging, and the interactions your audience has with your business. Branding helps you communicate the value you provide to your audience, and when your company’s communications are backed by actions, your audience will gain the trust needed to make a purchase or hire your services.

Brand identity consists of logo, colour palette, typography, imagery, website, social media, marketing material, and any other visual elements associated with your company.

Your brand can gain the trust needed to turn your audience into customers and great customer experiences build on that trust and lead to loyalty. When expecta­ tions are set and consistently met, ongoing relationships thrive and customer retention is strong. Not only will your customers be loyal, they’ll be much more likely to share their great experiences with others.

If people associate quality with your brand they will associate quality with your products and services. The perception that people have of your company can impact the decisions to purchase your products or The CONSTRUCTOR 2019

At Tiller, we focus on delivering value and strategically solving problems to make an impact and get results.

If you’re working with a branding expert, there are some things you can do as a com­ pany in preparation to make the most out of your branding experience.

• Know your purpose, your values, and have a vision for your future. These are the foundational elements that a brand should be built off.

• Understand your audience and their needs. Your brand needs to resonate with your audience and you need to know them to most effectively connect with them.

• Know what you want your brand to do.

The way of the future: Calgary transit plan gains traction

By Melanie Franner

Surface station rendering. Photo: City of Calgary

Getting around the city of Calgary will be much easier in the soon-to-be future – thanks to a few new transit systems that have recently come on-stream and/or are underway.

At the top of the list is the new Bus Rap­ id Transit system (BRT), which officially launched this past November. Then there is the Green Line LRT, set to open in phases beginning in 2026. And, on top of this, there is the continued expansion of the Calgary Ring Road, which will eventually encircle the entire city of Calgary.

The Southwest Calgary Ring Road (SW­ CRR) expansion is already well underway.

It is set to open to traffic in October 2021.

The timing of these recent transit sys­ tems, specifically the Green Line LRT and BRT systems couldn’t be better for the city.

120

Calgary Construction Association Magazine

“Obviously, these are long-term projects,” states Michael Thompson, general manager of transportation, the City of Calgary. “They have been part of the city’s ‘RouteAhead’ strategic transit plan that was developed in 2013, but they started gaining some traction in the last few years.”

The current downturn in the economy is working to the city’s advantage.

“It just happens to be a good time to in­ vest in infrastructure,” continues Thomp­ son. “But we look at the investment in tran­ sit as part of creating a great city. It allows the city to grow intelligently and reduces road traffic.”

Look up

Calgary’s new Green Line LRT will be the third light-rail transit line for the city. It is

expected to provide an estimated 60,000 to 65,000 trips on opening day. And, it repre­ sents the highest priority public transit proj­ ect on the books.

It will also cost a lot of money, approxi­ mately $5 billion.

“The new Green Line LRT will be the largest single investment in public transit for the city,” states Thompson.

Once the full vision is complete, the Green Line LRT will run for 46 kilometres, from North Pointe to Seton.

According to Thompson, work on the first phase of construction for the initial 20 kilometres of the line has already begun. It will include the building of a four-kilome­ tre underground tunnel for the city centre.

Stage 1 of the Green Line is expected to be operational in 2026.

The city’s LRT will run across the city and connect the downtown area with the resi­ dential hub for north and southeast Calgary.

“We have 59 kilometres of LRT in place right now,” says Thompson. “We started building the LRT system in late ‘70s and have been building it ever since. The initial segment was 12 kilometres. This next phase will be the largest piece of LRT ever deliv­ ered by the city.”

Key players on the project include: Hatch Mott MacDonald, the prime consultant (owner’s engineer), and its key sub-consul­ tants: Stantec, Sturgess Architecture, IBI Group, Thurber, ZGF, Ground 3, Fast+Epp, Tronnes, and Bison.

Pierre Turcotte is the project manager for the owner/engineer team at Hatch Mott MacDonald.

“When fully built, the Green Line LRT is going to add between 35 to 40 per cent ca­ pacity to the entire LRT system,” he explains.

“This makes it a very significant project for the City of Calgary and to all Calgarians.”

With 9,000 people employed globally, Hatch has a lot of experience in planning, designing, and constructing transit systems (as well as working in other industry sec­ tors like mining and infrastructure). But Turcotte admits that the GL LRT is a bit distinctive.

“Every project is a little different,” he says.

“But in terms of complexity, this project is unusual for its sheer size. This is the larg­ est public infrastructure project in the city to date. The largest one prior to this was the West LRT expansion in 2012. That was a $1 billion project.”

Hatch was awarded the contract for the GL LRT in Q4 2014. At the time, the south­ east component of the project was going to be a BRT. With the extra funding provided by the federal government in 2015, the BRT became an LRT. “The project changed quite a bit when it went from being a BRT to an LRT,” says Tur­ cotte. “We’ve been working on the details of the LRT ever since.”

Calgary’s city council approved the GL LRT alignment and station locations in 2017.

“There has been a lot of public engage­ ment done over the last three years,” says Turcotte. “Part of the reasoning behind this was to ensure we would have maximum ridership. As a result, the LRT will run into

very highly populated areas. On a massive project of this size, con­ struction is going to take several years. Part of the challenge will be to balance the impact of construction on the corridor, to minimize disruption during construction, and to make sure that traffic patterns are maintained through detours.”

Turcotte anticipates that contracts for the GL LRT will be awarded in 2019.

“I think the biggest challenge for us is to take care of the public and business during construction,” he says. “We look at it as a short-term investment – to live with the pain of construction – for a long-term gain.”

The city’s new BRT system went live on November 19, 2018 with three lines: MAX Purple; MAX Orange; and MAX Teal. A fourth line will launch in 2019. All to a budget of $304 million.

“If you look at our transit plan, you will see that the LRT system rep­ resents the hub of the plan,” explains Thompson. “The BRT is the layer­ ing of a grid over that hub, a series of spokes if you will. It’s all part of our public transit network, and part of reaching our goal to get Calgarians where they need to go in a maximum time of 10 minutes. We’re not there yet; but we are on our way.”

The BRT is described as an efficient and reliable bus service that has fewer stops, making it faster and more convenient for riders to get around.

According to Thompson, design construction on the BRT systems started in earnest in 2014.

“The MAX Purple line is the only one of the three new lines to have a bus-only lane,” explains Thompson. “We’ve really changed the streetscape as a result and hope to spur some economic development along 17th Avenue S.E.” 1 Both the MAX Orange and MAX Teal lines are running mixed traffic for the time being, with queue jumps. The city had to redistribute about 25 per cent of the existing bus routes to accommodate the new system.

“The new BRT system will offer 90 new stations, heated shelters, realtime information, and lighting,” adds Thompson. “It’s not just about moving people quickly. It’s about offering them a better experience.”

Ridership on the BRT is expected to reach 30,000 to 35,000 by 2024.

“With such long-term investment plans involved in these types of transit systems, we obviously go through a number of differ­ ent economic cycles,” concludes Thompson.

“But we view these activities as an economic boom for the city. We anticipate 12,000 di­ rect construction jobs and 8,000 supporting jobs for the new Green Line LRT system alone. That’s not including the economic de­ velopment that we hope to generate for land development around the stations.”

Travelling in and around the city may be getting easier for Calgarians but there are those who need to travel outside the city lim­ its. And this soon will be a reality thanks to the Southwest Calgary Ring Road (SWCRR) road. Work on the $1.42 billion provincial project is well underway. Once operational in 2022, the Calgary Ring Road will com­ pletely encircle the city – offering a total of 101 kilometres of free-flow travel.

Alberta Minster of Transportation Brian Mason emphasizes the importance of this major traffic artery.

“Our government is fighting for what matters to Albertans, like the completion of the Calgary Ring Road. We know how important the Ring Road is to everyday Calgarians – it will help families spend more time together, improve the safety of our roads, and create good jobs in the process,” says Minister Mason. “Through the toughest recession in years, we have continued to make historic investments in infrastructure to repair and build our key transportation networks, creating good jobs, and making life better for Albertans.”

The SWCRR is one of the last sections of the Calgary Ring Road. It will consist of 31 kilometres of six- and eight-lane divid­ ed highways, 14 interchanges, 47 bridges, one road flyover, one railway crossing, one tunnel, and three river crossings over the Elbow River and Fish Creek.

The SWCRR is comprised of three com­ ponents: the north section, south section, and twinning bridge over the Bow River.

“The West Calgary Ring Road has been funded and is in the procurement stage right now for one of the three projects that make up its overall delivery,” explains Adam Johnson, communications advisor, Alberta Transportation. “We will select proponents for the other two projects in 2019.”

According to Johnson, the Calgary Ring Road is the culmination of more than 40 years of planning.

“The Ring Road will improve the way Calgarians move around the region,” he states. “It will enable them to more eas­ ily connect to other cities and provinces.

It will also make shipping easier and will help open up future development in areas around the city.”

Work in progress

The design and construction of the Southwest Calgary Ring Road was awarded to KGL Constructors, a joint venture part­ nership between Kiewit, Graham, and Led­ cor.

“Some preliminary work on the project began in the fall of 2016, but full-scale con­ struction started in the spring of 2017,” says Chris Dandurand, project director, KGL Constructors. “The SWCRR is anticipated to open to traffic in the fall of 2021.”

Already, much progress has been made

by KGL, including: the three river realign­ ments, 70 per cent of the excavation work, 40 per cent of the MSE walls; 70 per cent of the bridge foundation work; 30 per cent of

the bridge work itself; and 50 per cent of the drainage work.

“Most of the focus over the next year will shift from earthworks and drainage to com­ pleting structures and grading and paving roads,” explains Dandurand. “Overall, work on the priority new infrastructure between Sarcee Trail and 146 Avenue/Fish Creek Boulevard is over 40 per cent complete.”

According to KGL, the number of work­ ers on the site this past summer peaked at 1,100. This included office personnel, craft workers, and subcontractors.

“In 2019, this figure is expected to climb to around 1,400,” adds Dandurand.

Although construction of the SWCRR will pose some transportation issues, KGL is working closely with Alberta Infrastructure to minimize the impact.

“There are ongoing activities along the project corridor that affect the flow of traffic on existing Calgary roads,” says Dandurand.

“This ranges from relatively minor impacts, such as lane closures and equipment cross­ ings, to significant traffic realignments at major Calgary intersections and permanent road closures.”

A more expedient route

With three new major transit systems un­ derway or under construction, Calgarians will soon have access to more travel options than ever before. Be it hopping on the BRT, catching the Green Line LRT, or driving on the SWCRR, residents and visitors will be able to travel more efficiently and more di­ rectly to the places they need to go.

All of this makes for less vehicular traffic and more efficient use of roadways.

“We look at transportation across the city as providing mobility choices for Calgar­ ians,” concludes Thompson, who adds that the SWCRR will further expand these mo­ bility options. “We work hand-in-hand with the provincial government on the SWCRR. Our industrial sector thrives on efficient goods movement and the SWCRR will de­ liver that. Our city’s transit systems – both inside the city and out – are designed to help drive a healthy economy where all Calgar­ ians can thrive.” n 1

Note, there is major road construc­ tion happening on the west side of this street that won’t be complete for at least a year.

A labour of love Randy O’Dell House soon to be a reality

By Melanie Franner When Wellspring Calgary opened its doors in 2007 to offer programs and support for people living with cancer and their caregiv­ ers, it had no idea that the need for its ser­ vices would eventually test the boundaries of its capacity. But over time, that’s exactly what happened. Fortunately, the construc­ tion industry was more than willing to step up to the plate – time and time again.

In support of a cause

Patti Morris, executive director, Wellspring Calgary, is the first to admit that the Calgary construction industry has been kind to the non-profit organization.

She cites the gifting of Carma House from Carma Developers (now Brookfield Residen­ tial Properties) as helping to put Wellspring Calgary on the map. Built to offer a warm and welcoming environment, Carma House pro­ vides a homey, residential feel.

Morris also refers to Cedarglen Homes, whose chairman Scott Haggins helped pro­ mote Wellspring Calgary and offered its pur­ pose-built showhome for program use during off hours in the southern end of the city. The developer then auctioned off the home and gifted the proceeds to Wellspring Calgary.

“We have been so blessed by the construc­ tion community over the years,” states Morris, who enthuses about the most recent gift from industry. “We were working on our strategic plan when we learned of Randy O’Dell. He had built a very successful electrical company in Calgary and was feeling very grateful for his success. He wanted to leave a legacy for our city.”

That legacy emerged in the form of a $4 million gift to Wellspring Calgary in the spring of 2016.

“That gift got us moving right away and en­ abled us to purchase a piece of land in south Calgary, adjacent to the South Health Cam­ pus,” says Morris. “Randy was part of the pro­ cess behind the Randy O’Dell House, meeting with people, visiting the site and reviewing architectural plans. He was very excited to be on the periphery of the project.”

130

Calgary Construction Association Magazine

Sadly, Randy O’Dell passed away last year, before his dream could be realized.

“It’s hard for us to put into words the magnitude of the role he played,” says Mor­ ris. “Wellspring hasn’t had to turn anyone away as of yet. There have been times when we have felt stretched, but his magnificent, spontaneous gift has alleviated any tension or heaviness we may have felt from that.

Randy’s legacy will be felt in the community forever.”

Wellspring Calgary has become a vital part of the city’s cancer support system.

Its 12.6 full-time staff, 100 facilitators, and 200+ volunteers provided nearly 36,000 hours of programming to over 5,600 mem­ bers in 2018 alone. The free programs are

evidence-informed and range from yoga and art classes to financial, legal, and em­ ployment guidance.

The organization’s mission is to ensure no one has to face cancer alone, and the Randy O’Dell House will go a long way to enabling Wellspring Calgary to continue to deliver on its mission for many years to come.

The new standard

S2 Architecture is the lead architect on the Randy O’Dell House. The company got involved with the $6.2 million project in late 2016.

“We designed Carma House many years ago,” states Ken Shaman, associate princi­ pal, S2 Architecture. “So we had the benefit of having worked with Wellspring Calgary

before. The main focus was to maintain the residential feel and look of the building, as well as accommodate a broader spectrum of services. Having used Carma House for years, Wellspring Calgary had realized that they needed a bigger facility to offer a greater diversity of services. They also rec­ ognized the need to provide their services to an ever-growing population in the south of Calgary and beyond.”

According to Shaman, Randy O’Dell House will be about 12,000 square feet – al­ most three times larger than Carma House.

The two-storey building will also feature a full basement.

“The new building looks like a larger ver­ sion of Carma House, but it is fairly con­ temporary looking,” adds Shaman. “It has almost a Scandinavian feel to it in appear­ ance.”

One of the most significant differences between Carma House and Randy O’Dell House is the latter’s pursuit of WELL Certi­ fication. WELL buildings are unique in that they meet standards that are intentionally designed to enhance health and wellness.

“We first heard about WELL when we

started working with the architect,” explains Morris. “The environmental consultant, Mission Green, told us about it and we felt an immediate connection. This extra level of certification really resonated with all of us.”

Morris is quick to add that some of the WELL Certification standards will be implemented at Carma House, but Randy O’Dell House is registered for full WELL Certification, and if it successfully qualifies, it will be one of few such buildings in the province.

“WELL is a fairly new program,” explains Shaman, who says it is similar to LEED but where LEED looks at the building itself, WELL takes into consideration the occu­ pants of the building. “It’s more holistic in its approach to members and staff. It looks at monitoring things like drinking water and light levels, support of physical activity, nutrition, and more.”

According to Shaman, there is a whole list of criteria across 10 different categories.

“It is quite an accomplishment for the team,” he says. “It’s very forward-thinking for Wellspring Calgary to develop a build­ ing that will be healthier for its users.”

The logistics

The construction manager on Randy O’Dell House is Centron Group. The com­ pany is co-ordinating the project on behalf of Wellspring Calgary, through its Centron Cares program. Through this program, Centron works to build needed non-profit space at a reduced cost, asking all of the trades and suppliers to work to add a chari­ table gift to reduce overall building costs.

Centron has further supported Well­ spring Calgary through temporary leased space offered at a reduced cost to allow them to serve those needing support im­ mediately until the completion of the Randy O’Dell House.

Project manager, Rio McNeil, project co­ ordinator Rachel Maxwell, and site super­ intendent, Jerry Smith, note that Centron started work on the building in October 2018. Completion is expected to take place

by July 1, 2019.

Wellspring Calgary anticipates moving into the new building in August and being operational in September 2019.

structure should be completed, with win­ dow installation, by the end of February.

Asphalt paving was completed in the fall of 2018.

Although the project is straightforward from a construction point of view, the WELL certification adds a certain degree of complexity.

“The WELL standards focus on the health and wellness of building occupants by in­ corporating air quality standards, ventila­ tion effectiveness, VOC reduction, air filtra­ tion, moisture management, water quality, and particularly lighting design, brightness management, and melanopic light intensity and glare control,” states Centron.

According to the company, environmen­ tal consultant Mission Green is monitoring the submission of every trade to ensure all products and processes meet the exacting requirements. There are also processes that must be executed by the building managers once the project is occupied.

Wellspring Calgary facility, it should come as no surprise to learn that O’Dell Electric Ltd. (the firm founded by Randy O’Dell) should be one of the first to step forward to work on the project.

“Randy founded the company in 1984 and ran it until he passed away last year,” says Drew Woolsey, president and general manager, O’Dell Electric. “Randy was a very dear friend of mine. He has done a lot for

me personally and because of that, we here at O’Dell Electric will take on this project and work on it to the best of our ability.”

O’Dell Electric has been awarded the electrical component of the construction project.

“We’ve done the underground roughins and expect to be getting onsite very soon,” says Woolsey, who adds that this is the first WELL-certified project that the company has worked on, but that it hasn’t posed too many complications to date.

“We’ve already submitted all of our prod­ uct sheets and received the approvals. We didn’t have to do any material substitu­ tions.”

The financial remuneration for the electrical work will be just a small part of the job for O’Dell Electric. The company will go above and beyond. Despite Wool­ sey referring to Randy O’Dell House as

“another construction project”, he is the first to admit that it is a special one for both him and the company.

“There is no doubt that it means a lot to us,” he says. “We’re going to be vol­ unteering a lot of hours for it and we’re also going to make a significant financial contribution in the form of a donation to Wellspring Calgary. It will definitely be a labour of love. I hope most of the staff, if not all of them, will participate.”

With pride

MJS Mechanical was awarded the me­ chanical component of the Randy O’Dell House project in August 2018. The compa­ ny is slated to perform all of the plumbing and gas work. The HVAC also falls under the company’s scope, with the ventilation system to be subcontracted.

“It’s a relatively small project and it is

wood frame,” explains Michael Baytalan, construction manager, MJS Mechanical.

“This makes it relatively simple. The only constraint for us is the small ceiling space.

With a lot of equipment slotted to go into the ceiling, the space constraint adds a de­ gree of difficulty.”

Another interesting twist on the project is the WELL certification.

“This is the first time we have run into the new standard,” explains Baytalan. “From my point of view, it seems fairly similar to the LEED process, maybe just a bit more in-depth because LEED sort of excludes the mechanical aspect.”

That being said, Baytalan and his team have encountered a bit more paperwork.

“From what we can see, WELL is con­ cerned mainly with VOCs,” he says. “And with the improvements to LEED over the last few years, most of the materials we have

All of us have been touched by cancer. And because of that, I think all of us who are involved in the project are taking special care to review each construction decision along the way.

MJS Mechanical will be on and off site at various periods during the construction, with a team of about seven or eight crew during peak times.

Having worked with O’Dell Electric over the years as co-trades on various projects, Baytalan acknowledges that this project will have special significance for him and the company.

“It’s obviously all for a good cause,” he says. “And it’s always good to see buildings like this have a name on the front. It’s a feelgood project, one that we’re very pleased and proud to be a part of.”

The man who unveiled The Constructor Biography on Dean Slater, CCA past president Dean Slater, CCA past chair, is a man who left his mark and legacy working on iconic projects here in Calgary, Alberta. Slater is proud to have worked on big projects that have made a difference in the community we live in, and with over 40 years serving in the construction industry, he helped to shape our city for the better.

Slater was born and raised in Edmon­ ton. His father Hugh, a petroleum engineer from the University of Alberta (1953), was a man with a strong work ethic and the per­ son who helped cultivate his interest in the engineering industry.

“I owe much to my parents who always supported me in all of my endeavours and gave me every opportunity to be successful,” said Slater.

Slater grew up in Edmonton until Grade 10 when his family moved to Calgary. As most teenagers, he was not pleased with the move, however, he managed to get over his disappointment after he discovered that the Rocky Mountains were just an hour away.

It was then that Slater developed a love of skiing, hiking, and golfing. Slater graduated high school in the second graduating class at Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School (1974), and

was accepted into engineering at the Uni­ versity of Alberta. Looking back, he recog­ nizes how dramatically technology in the industry has changed, for example, he jok­ ingly recalls that his high school graduation present was a calculator.

Slater’s first experience with construction was in 1976 as a summer student labourer with CANA Construction starting at the Carewest Dr. Vernon Fanning Centre. In May 1979 he obtained his bachelor of sci­ ence (BSc) in civil engineering, immediate­ ly rejoined CANA, and there was no look­ ing back from there.

With the construction industry boom­ ing, Slater seized the opportunity to be­ come the project engineer on the Nexen (Nova head office) building, then fol­ lowed up as cost engineer on the Suncor (Petro-Canada) Centre.

A big opportunity for Slater was man­ agement and pre-construction services on Cadillac Fairview’s Midtown Plaza Shopping Centre vertical expansion and renovation in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

Later as manager of commercial opera­ tions, Slater helped manage the Olympic Saddledome Renovations, Hyatt Hotel, TELUS Convention Centre, University of Calgary MacEwan Hall Expansion, Cal­ gary International Airport parkade ex­ pansion, and numerous Spruce Meadows expansion projects.

He was CANA’s vice-president of com­ mercial operations from 1999 to 2004, where again working with some great colleagues, he carried out many other sig­ nificant projects including: the Calgary Court House (P3 procurement phase), Mount Royal College West Wing Physical Education building and East Wing Aca­

demic building, the South Calgary Health Centre, and many more.

Slater was honoured to be elected as president of the Calgary Construction Association (CCA) in 2001. His time with the CCA helped elevate his profile in the construction industry.

“My time with the Calgary Construc­ tion Association opened up a lot of doors.

I met lifelong friends, industry workers and government representatives.”

Slater was pleased to invite all Calgar­ ians to the official unveiling of The Con­ structor, a bronze statue that was com­ missioned by the CCA to Canadian artist Lorne Wall. This larger-than-life statue gives recognition to the group of settlers that commenced to build Fort Calgary in 1875 to a new era of contractors who have constructed today’s impressive structures.

All those who step through the CCA front doors will enjoy The Constructor, as it represents the builders who have and will continue to be an integral part of Calgary’s history.

Being a part of the CCA meant a lot to Slater. When asked what he would keep if

he could only keep five things, he replied “my industry and CCA project plaques and memorabilia, my old slippers and Toro lawn mower (just kidding), photos of fam­ ily and friends, and my engineering ring.”

From 2005 to 2009 working as Dean Slater Consulting, Slater worked with the Calgary Health Region (later AHS) on the planning, design, and management of ma­ jor expansion projects at the Rockyview, Peter Lougheed and Foothills Hospitals, the Sheldon Chumir Health Centre, and South Health Campus. He was also the consulting project manager to SMART Technologies, providing project manage­ ment consulting services for the design and construction of the new SMART Tech­ nologies Building at the University of Cal­ gary Research Park. Working on both sides of the business – as a general contractor for both CANA and Ledcor, and as an owner’s vice-president for the health region and Triovest Realty, Slater was fortunate to learn both sides of the construction and development business.

Slater returned to general contracting with Ledcor Construction in 2013 as di­

rector of estimating and business devel­ opment. Although working on the own­ er’s side was a great experience, he didn’t realize how much he missed being in the middle of the action as opposed to watch­ ing the contractor plan, bid, manage, and build the project.

January 19, 2018 marked Slater’s retire­ ment party from Ledcor. It was fitting to be held at the Saddledome, an iconic project that he worked on and as a loyal Flames fan.

A message written across the Jumbotron announced Slater’s retirement. “[It’s] the only time I’ve been on there!” jokes Slater, adding that above all, he will most remember the great people and the team effort required to build great projects.

“There is a great satisfaction in looking back at a completed project knowing that you were a part of a great team of contractors, architects, design consultants, and clients.”

Slater’s career in construction thrived from the support of his family and role models.

“This can be a fun and rewarding busi­ ness but sometimes very challenging with multiple deadlines, stress and long hours away from home. I very much thank my wife and children for their unwavering sup­ 2:27 PM port,” he says.

From CANA, Slater notes mentors and friends like the late Les Daniels (past CCA president), Fred Dyck, John Simpson, Mark Hames, Ed Stern, and Joe Meier. Other im­ portant people in Slater’s career includes Bob Holmes, retired SVP Calgary Health Region; Penny Rae, AHS chief informa­ tion officer; Ledcor’s Peter Hrdlitschka, president; and Jim Beeton, retired regional manager. Slater lives by a motto of “a strong work ethic, collaborative approach, pas­ sion and dedication to excellence will lead to professional and personal success”. These qualities are all things that he has admired in his role models for so long.

Transitioning into retirement, Slater hopes to travel, ski, golf, provide some vol­ unteer fundraising for Wellspring Calgary, and spend more time with his wife of 37 years, Brenda, their two children, Lindsay (Jim) & Jeff (Kim), and their three grand­ kids.

Oh, and next time you see him, be sure to ask him about his special shotski skills. n

Westcor: Driving collaboration and success

By Jim Timlick

Bob Robinson is fond of saying his company isn’t about buildings so much as it is about people.

Robinson is president and CEO of Westcor Construction Ltd., a Calgary-based full-service general contractor and construction management firm that has emerged as one of the leading commercial construction companies in Alberta since its formation 15 years ago.

Westcor was launched by Robinson and partners Val Stordy (man­ ager of administration), Brad Hammond (chief estimator), and An­ drew Morgan (vice-president of operations) in 2003. It’s come a long way since that time, having grown to about 75 full-time employees and has been involved in building some of Calgary’s most innova­ tive and talked about construction projects, including the addition to Renert School in Royal Vista, Amica Mature Lifestyles, and Custom Cannabis to name a few.

As gratifying as all of that growth has been, Robinson points out it would not have been possible without the contributions of every single member of the Westcor team.

“Really, when we looked at why we were getting into the business and why we we’re in business the answer was that we’re really here

to build a better world. We knew that the only way we could get that done was with good people,” he recalls. “We tell people we’re not in the construction business, we’re actually in the people business. It’s our people who get everything done, build our buildings, and build relationships. Everybody’s got a role to play on our team.”

Robinson says that when he first started the company, it was seen as “Bob’s company” since he was the sole decision maker. He men­ tions that when they are looking to add someone to their team, it’s quite an extensive process because it’s really about having aligned values and making sure there’s a fit with their company and culture, which is important to their success. That people-first attitude is a key part of the company’s core values and is a major influence on every aspect of its operations. Take, for example, its relationship with cli­ ents. Glen Clark, vice-president of business development, says that every client’s project is unique and his company works extremely hard to tailor its approach to meet their individual needs.

“The idea is that even though we have several different delivery models and different contract types that are utilized within those delivery models, the approach of our business is that the relation­

ships we want to build with our clients will be long-lasting,” says Clark. “We’re not just trying to build one building for an indi­ vidual or company, we want to do all their work in the years going forward. That starts with a very collaborative approach, a very much hands-on approach from senior man­ agement and throughout our team, to serve those clients’ needs.”

Robinson agrees that Westcor’s collab­ orative approach to working with clients has been a major driver behind the company’s success.

“You hear the word ‘collaboration’ ban­ died about quite a bit. Typically, a lot of folks think collaboration is some kind of kumba­ ya moment where everybody gets together for a group hug. But collaboration is really a lot of times about having that tough conver­ sation about what needs to happen to hon­ our a clients’ vision,” says Robinson, who adds that sometimes that means using can­ dor with their clients and managing expec­ tations, as well as being realistic and honest about what can or can’t be done. “Some­ times those are tough conversations to have, but that’s true collaboration. We want what’s best for our clients in terms of value, so it’s about finding that value really early on and really understanding what they’re after.”

That sometimes includes challenging cli­ ents to think in a different way about the typical contractor/client relationship. Clark likens it to full transparency– telling some­ one what they need to hear, not just what they may want to hear.

“What you want the client to do is to be totally engaged,” says Clark. “Some clients have an almost preconceived notion on what their solution might be or what the answer might be. Whereas when we’re involved in the front end of a project in terms of the design, we’re also there to help provide the necessary information for right decisions to be made at the appropriate time for the suc­ cess of the project. By doing that, it helps the client to make hard decisions earlier on, but also about what’s best for the project.”

As Westcor has grown over the years, so too has its approach to business continued to evolve. Back in 2003, the majority of the work it did was on open public projects that practically anyone could bid on. Today, most of its efforts are focused on pre-quali­ fied work and sitting down with clients and consultants to bring the best possible value to a project.

Triangle Steel has been a consistent force in the steel industry in Calgary for over 50 years. One of the largest steel companies in Calgary, Triangle Steel has completed many landmark projects in the Calgary area such as McMahon Stadium, Burns Stadium, Bankers Hall, MacEwan Hall, Crowfoot Library, Calgary Courts Centre, Chinook Centre Expansion, Westjet Campus, Glenmore Water Treatment, South Health Campus, Telus World of Science, and Bearspaw Water Treatment, to name a few.

Those efforts include building everything from office and commercials spaces and retail businesses to schools, health-care fa­ cilities, and multi-family seniors dwellings.

While many of those projects are centred in and around Calgary and southern Alberta, the company’s reach extends to follow their clients, completing work in British Colum­ bia and Saskatchewan as well.

One of the company’s most exciting re­ cent projects was the construction of a new six-storey 90,000-square-foot addition to Renert School, a private school in northwest Calgary that has drawn national attention for its innovative approach to education.

Construction was scheduled to wrap up on time just after Christmas, despite some ex­ tremely challenging deadlines.

“It’s been the result of a true collabora­ tion,” says Robinson. “We would never have made that date without working with all of the parties to get it done. It’s pretty cool to go in the school and see how they’ve laid it out and the kind of education they’re pro­ viding.”

Another significant milestone for West­ cor was its recent involvement in the design

and construction of a new 135,000-squarefoot facility for Samaritan’s Purse, a nondenominational Christian organization that provides support to families that have been affected by war and natural disasters across the world.

Clark says he is particularly proud of Westcor’s involvement in the project and how they collaborated with the client, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, throughout the design phase and construc­ tion.

“One of the comments they made to me on why they hired us was our open-book consulting approach and how they were in­ cluded in all phases of the process,” he says.

“They knew they wanted to be included, but they knew they didn’t have the skill set nec­ essary to lead the exercise.”

One of the biggest design-build proj­ ects Westcor has been involved in to date is the construction of an $18 million, 60,000-square-foot state-of-the-art cultivat­ ing plant for Custom Cannabis in Claresh­ olm, a small town located about 125 kilo­ metres south of Calgary. The first phase of the facility will include a 20,000-square-foot

greenhouse space and its first crop of medi­ cal marijuana is expected to be available by spring of 2019.

“It’s an exciting project for the majority of people in our organization,” says Bradley Morgan, Westcor’s marketing and commu­ nications coordinator. “The owners have a personal connection to us and our core val­ ues. The fact that their owners have worked through such adversity and are pushing forward with their goal to be of service to the community really ties in with our core values and what we try to do here.”

In terms of core values, one of Westcor’s fundamental beliefs is of the importance of continual improvement. That helps to explain why the company is such a strong proponent of lean construction principles.

The primary aim of lean construction is to enhance the value of projects and reduce or eliminate wasted resources in the pro­ cess.

“One of our medium-term goals is to be a leader in lean construction,” says Cath­ leen Peter-Swart, chief people champion officer. “We believe that will give us a com­ petitive advantage in our industry and also

supports our corporate culture of continual improvement, which then drives our en­ gagement.”

Robinson whole heartedly concurs.

“We really believe this is not a fad. This is the way to go. I think in five years if you are not practicing lean construction you are go­ ing to struggle to exist,” says Robinson. “It’s that important to our industry. It’s really a matter of working smarter. Our productivity in North America, and Canada in particular, isn’t really that good. The traditional way of

doing construction has not led to very good productivity. Lean is the way to go. It’s not a fixed process or set of tools, it’s a way of thinking and we’ve really adopted it here at Westcor in pretty short order.”

As important as bricks and mortar have been to the success of Westcor, it continues to be people who provide the company with a rock-solid foundation. That in turn has been a major factor in the company’s deci­ sion to pay it forward and be an active part­ ner in the community it’s a part of.

To celebrate its 15th anniversary in Sep­ tember, it established the Building a Better Community – A Westcor People-First social responsibility initiative. Throughout the 12 months and 15 acts of kindness that make up the initiative, Westcor partners with a num­ ber of community-based non-profit organi­ zations to provide help to those in need. It re­ cently provided $12,500 to the Dare to Care bully prevention and life skills programs.

Other past partners include the Brenda Strafford Foundation for Seniors, Operation Christmas Child, the Calgary Drop-In Cen­ tre, Mustard Seed, and MoveForwardYYC. The initiative will continue into 2019, culmi­ nating in September with its 14th and 15th acts of kindness in service to the community.

“Corporate social responsibility is re­ ally key to who we are at Westcor and is a very big differentiator for us,” Peter-Swart says. “Corporate social responsibility helps strengthen relationships with our clients, our business partners, and our community.

When we take care of each other a founda­ tion is built that allows us to take care of our community.”

A desire to give back to the community is also a big part of why Westcor has been ac­ tively involved in the Calgary Construction Association (CCA) almost since the time the company was founded.

Robinson is a past chair of the CCA, serves as a trustee on its education fund, and has served the Calgary representative on the Canadian Construction Association (Cnd­ CA). A number of his Westcor employees have also served in various capacities with the CCA, including serving on its Young Construction Leaders group and Women in Construction committee, among others.

In 2016, Robinson received the CCA’s Ted Walden Senior Award, which recognized contributions, achievements, and dedica­ tion to the association.

“The Calgary Construction Association is recognized as one of the strongest local associations across Canada and it became apparent to us pretty early on why. It has strong leadership and a good, diverse board that really strives to make our industry bet­ ter,” Robinson says. “We’ve made the invest­ ment in the CCA since day one because we really believe it has an impact on our indus­ try and there’s an ability there to make im­ provements in the way we do construction and the way we all work together.” n

Open for business: New Central Library surprises everyone alike

By Melanie Franner

Over the first four days of opening weekend, over 52,000 visitors flocked to see the unveiling of Calgary’s new Central Library. Over 21,000 books were signed out. Meeting rooms were booked. And still they kept coming.

“This is a highly functional building,” says Mary Kapusta, direc­ tor, communications, Calgary Public Library. “This was evident from day one. The response has exceeded our expectations.”

Open book

Kapusta speaks of the building’s sheer innovation from a construc­ tion perspective – the ability to take an “orphaned” piece of land bi­ sected by the LRT and to transform it into a stunning architectural tribute to structural design and engineering.

“There has been a truly remarkable reception from a design per­ spective,” she says. “We’ve had high praise from the national media and from some very heavy hitters. Architectural Digest has named it one of the most anticipated buildings of 2018 and one of the world’s eight most futuristic libraries.”

High praise indeed.

“I believe that the quality of the design establishes a new quality standard for the design of significant civic or cultural buildings in our city and maybe even our province,” states Rob Adamson, partner, DIALOG, who worked on the project with Snøhetta Architects from New York. “It is probably the most important civic building built in Calgary in the last 25 years and may potentially remain so for the next 25 years.”

Adamson describes the new Central Library as being an interest­ ing shape – both inside and out.

“It’s a beautiful, curving geometry whose shape follows the align­ ment of the LRT tracks that run beneath the building,” he says. “The exterior has a unique façade where all of the windows have inter­ esting triangular geometry, to create almost a pixelated appearance.

Inside the building is an amazing central atrium space with a lensshaped skylight at the top. This space is defined by an impressive wood staircase that ascends through the space, creating an almost cathedral-like feeling.”

The different unitized curtain wall panel sizes on the building’s ex­ terior incorporate 13 different geometric shapes and sizes for either glazed or metal panel sections.

“This creates almost a limitless combination of façade-shaped ele­ ments that makes the exterior completely unique and non-repetitive over the entire façade,” adds Adamson.

The landmark project was made possible through tremendous teamwork, not the least of which were three highly engaged and committed partners: Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC), Calgary Public Library, and the City of Calgary.

In between the stacks

“The new Central Library is an architectural masterpiece,” enthus­ es Paul Polson, senior vice-president, development and community, Stuart Olson. “This is one of the most significant projects ever un­ dertaken in the history of our company. It is an architectural ‘wow’.”

Polson admits that there was a very high degree of intricacy to the project.

“We knew it was going to be complex,” he says. “But we also knew that both architectural firms involved were very professional. I can’t say enough about how collaborative a team we were.”

This united teamwork also extends to the sub-trades.

“It seemed like there was something remarkable about this build­ ing every time you turned around,” says Polson. “A lot of it posed a real challenge for some of the trades but these guys didn’t blink an eye. They just got that much more fired up for the job. I have to say that the trades community responded really well.”

Calgary-based Ferguson Corporation was responsible for the ex­ terior envelope of the library, along with the glass curtain wall and the interior glazing. The company began work onsite in October 2016 and wrapped up the exterior work in the spring of 2018.

“It was a very complex project,” says Alex Seegerer, project man­ ager, Ferguson Corporation. “The building envelope alone called for 462 unitized panels, each one a different shape and size, with the largest being 10-feet wide and 30-feet tall. Every single panel was unique.”

The company did all the engineering and a lot of testing on the panels in house. It also worked with the Construction Research Lab­ oratory in Miami to test the unitized curtain wall.

“There were a lot of unusual features in the project, like the dou­ ble wall at the theatre that sat on acoustic anchors to prevent LRT vibrations from going through the building,” says Seegerer. “There was also the unique angles and glazing on the exterior curtain wall, which had double ‘frit’ dot patterns to take away the glare. The glaz­ ing had white dots on its exterior and gray dots overlaid on the in­ terior.”

Seegerer also notes that the entire building envelope had to be built using data points and coordinates.

“It was not a typical tape-measured, gridline layout,” he explains. “The unique shape of the building meant that everything had to be surveyed and measured in 3D points. This is not very common.”

Executive Millwork Inc. was another local trade that worked on the library.

“It was nearly a two-year project for us,” says Kyle Roll, business manager of Executive Mill­

work, who adds that the company was respon­ sible for the interior architectural millwork fit out. “The largest scope involved the West Coast Hemlock slat ceiling and wall panels.”

Together, they accounted for over 460,000 linear feet of FSC, fire-rated material, with the ceiling panels alone requiring 285,000 linear feet. Other aspects included: white oak wall capping and curved bay millwork; children’s playhouse; Lukes cafés; and, of course book­ shelves, which surrounds the TD Great Read­ ing Room.

The company also fabricated the 71 connection points throughout the library, made from white oak and corian, which are used to house the computers that al­ low people to lookup, sign in and sign out books.

“We shop fabricated 95 per cent of the panels, which accelerated our build times and reduced the amount of site staff. The remaining five per cent were panels which transition from the ceiling to vertical pan­ els in the atrium. The tolerances and de­ tails for these required site measurement and fabrication,” explains Roll, who adds that the project was one of the most chal­ lenging in the company’s history. “It was a very complex project, due to the shape of the building, which is curved on the east and west sides to follow the encapsulated LRT line. No two panels were alike and there was always a changing radius and distance between the two slats. It was a design challenge that was overcome with the use of lean planning and construc­ tion, Building Information Modeling, laser templating, and layouts. We couldn’t have done it without technology and collabora­ tive project team culture.”

Executive Millwork took the entire com­ pany down to the new Central Library a few weeks after it opened for a corporate appreciation event.

“The building design is phenomenal and will be an iconic landmark for many years,” says Roll. “It took a collective team effort between all partners, we all have a great sense of pride with having worked on it.”

Unbeknownst to many, the “team” of people responsible for building the new Central Library were able to celebrate at various milestone moments during the construction process. One of these oc­ curred when the last piece of steel was erected on the upper floor.

“It was a really big deal,” recalls Polson.

“We had the whole team onsite that day and invited everyone to sign their name on it. I think we ended up with about 320 signatures.”

Unlike that beam now hidden from public view, the new Central Library will continue to stand tall on the city landscape and to act as a shining beacon to architec­ ture for many years to come. n

And it will be an amaz­ ingly new landmark building on the city sky­ line – one that will be recognized for its inven­ tive tiered and pixilated design, not to men­ tion its innovative tribute to public art.

And, just in passing, it will be the city’s third tallest tower (following The Bow and Brookfield Place, although it will be the highest residential living tower in Calgary and the highest structural concrete building in the city).

Welcome to the TELUS Sky Building – one of the latest construction projects cur­ rently underway in the city’s downtown core.

Starting out big

The Bjarke Ingles Group (BIG) out of New York is the lead architect on the TELUS Sky Building project, with DIALOG being the architect on record.

The design of the building, in itself, is unusual, with many intricate elements. For one, the lower floors offer open office lay­ outs. But, as the building rises toward the sky, the floor plates slowly reduce in size and pixilate. This allows the upper floors to in­ corporate small balconies and terraces, with the smaller residential floors near the top of the tower outfitted with private balconies.

“Architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings actually fit the way we want to live our lives,” stated Bjarke Ingles, founder of BIG.

And the TELUS Sky Building does just that.

“The goal is to marry a commercial build­ ing with residences above,” explains Doug­ las Cinnamon, partner, DIALOG. “The so­ lution is a stepped façade. It’s a simple and homogenous statement that presents as be­ ing fairly distinctive – and substantive – on the city skyline.”

The building design has been described as “seamlessly accommodating the transfor­ mation from working to living” as the tower takes off from the ground to reach the sky.

Excavation on the site began in 2014.

“It was a pretty small site in terms of the surface area and in the geometry of range,” explains Brynn Haika, chief estimator, Pro­ fessional Excavators, who adds that the site is very dense, with the LRT on one side and two existing buildings on the two other sides. “Traditional methods of excavation weren’t feasible.”

In fact, the excavation called for a depth in excess of 100 feet – a new record for the city.

“The depth of the excavation was prob­ ably double what we normally encounter,” says Haika, who adds that it took some innovative thinking – and some very old technology – to find an answer. “We ended up sourcing a couple of old clamshell buck­ ets that were used for dredging rivers. We bought the clamshells, got them certified and incorporated them into a hydraulic crane set up. Locally, this has never been done before in this type of application.”

Professional Excavators also had to de­ velop a hopper system to funnel the dirt from the clamshell buckets into the back of waiting trucks.

“It took a bit of ingenuity to figure things out,” adds Haika, who credits his colleague Bob Logue, vice-president of operations, Professional Excavators, with making the find.

Logue has been working in the construc­ tion industry for more than 40 years.

“I actually saw the clamshells in use about 30 years ago,” he explains. “They were op­ erating from an active dredge at the time.

When this project came up and we realized that we had to think outside the box, I re­ membered that project.”

Logue made a few calls and, fortunately, was able to locate a couple clamshell buckets in Winnipeg that had been mothballed for a

few years and were destined for demolition.

He then sourced the hopper out of Nevada.

“We had one lane and sidewalk closed during the excavation period,” he explains.

“We had to operate in a very confined space because of the shoring that was in place. The crane was so close to the edge. Everything swung within inches.”

The excavation took about eight months.

A total of about 60,000 cubic metres of dirt was removed from the site. Some 800 to 900 cubic metres were removed each day, with each truck taking about 11 minutes to fill.

Although Professional Excavators had to design their own proprietary equipment to handle the TELUS Sky Building project, they may not put their three-month re­ search investment to bed just yet.

“The good news is that we’ve had people call to ask if they can rent the equipment,” says Haika.

Research in motion

Excavation of the site wasn’t the only intricate construction component of the TELUS Sky Building.

“From a concrete perspective, this was a reasonably complex project,” explains Laura Thomas, quality control manager, Inland Concrete, a division of LeHigh Hanson Ma­ terials Ltd. “The building was very tall and very deep. Plus, it has a narrow footprint of about one-quarter of a city block.”

Although the concrete supplier often customizes materials for its clients, this specific project was a bit more unusual.

“This particular request went above and beyond,” says Thomas. “The application re­ quired a 110 MPa concrete, which to my knowledge, is the highest strength ever produced on a commercial site to date.”

Inland Concrete went back to the labo­ ratory to develop the formulation.

“The research was done in-house in the quality control lab in Calgary,” says Thom­ as, who adds that it took almost a year to formulate the new mix. The company also had to develop a custom aggregate for the job, one that used four different cementi­ tious materials.

The new concrete, which required a 91-day curing time, also entailed some rigourous procedures around delivery and testing onsite.

“The amount of time from when we de­ livered the batch concrete to the forms was shorter than conventional times,” explains

160

Thomas. “The maximum temperatures were also different. We set it to a maxi­ mum of 18 degrees. If it went beyond that, we had the concrete sent away.”

The company also insisted that the forms were left in place for 48 hours – again, a longer period of time than usual.

And, Inland Concrete also requested extra test samples.

“We specifically asked that the test samples be stored separately so that they weren’t affected by vibrations from the Ctrain,” adds Thomas.

In total, Inland Concrete produced 3,536 metres of mass concrete for the raft slab. It delivered the concrete in a continu­ ous pour that took place over a 19-hour period. The C-train remained in operation the entire time, as did the open single lane of traffic on Centre Street.

“It was quite an accomplishment,” adds Thomas. “We poured from December 11, 2015, beginning at 8:45 p.m. through to December 12, 2015 at 4:30 p.m.”

Of that total amount of concrete used on the TELUS Sky Building project, some 1,093 cubic metres was the new 110 MPa. The new formulation concrete was used in

the seven underground parkade levels, all the way up to the 11th floor.

“It was a successful project for us,” notes Thomas, who adds that 51,000 cubic me­ tres of concrete have been poured on the site so far. “Right now, it’s the only mix that we have in that strength range.”

And, as design engineering and technol­ ogy continues to advance, it seems very likely that Inland Concrete will be able to capitalize on its research to use this special­ ly formulated mix for potential construc­ tion projects still to come.

Technology at its finest

Construction on the TELUS Sky Building would not have been possible without the use of some very leading-edge technology.

“We could not have built this without 3D modelling and a lot of other new tech­ nologies,” explains Blake Leew, construction director, Icon West Construction Corp., construction manager on the project. “We hired a company called CadMakers to build it ‘virtually’ before we built it in real life. It’s like BIM on steroids. Virtual construction calls for every single element to go into the virtual model.”

Constructing the building virtually may require some additional time upfront but it should also reduce the amount of errors and change orders on the project.

“It definitely saved time,” adds Leew. “It helped us avoid mistakes and having to re­ work things.”

To date, the concrete work on the TELUS Sky Building has been completed. Leew mentioned that the façade to the top of the building was closed in during January/Feb­ ruary 2019, with the exception of the man hoist. From there, it’s a matter of completing the work on the inside.

“This building represents true innova­ tion,” adds Leew. “The façade is extremely complex – shape-shifting from a com­ mercial to a residential floorplate. The lack of repetition is what gives the building its unique character, but it created huge chal­ lenges for the building team.”

According to Leew, there are several ar­ chitectural features that make this building an interesting one – inside and out.

For one, the building will be LEED Plati­ num for the office portion and LEED Gold for the residential. To achieve this, the de­ sign called for the entire building to be tied

Another interesting aspect of the TELUS Sky Building will be the incorporation of a 160,000 square-foot LED public-art installation. into the district energy system. There will be no boilers on site for water. Additionally, the offices will feature triple-pane, full-height view windows (some of which will be oper­ able) for maximum natural light. Floors 20 to 28 will feature Juliette balconies as well.

A raised floor system fabricated from metal-encased concrete offers maximum sound insulation, along with additional energy savings. The under-floor HVAC system provides tenants with the ability to place diffusers more locally to their space, resulting in improved ventilation air dis­ tribution and thermal comfort for the oc­ cupants.

The building also has a scheme for collecting rainwater and using the water offsite to offset consumption of potable water. The system includes a tank for the retention and storage of rainwater, a treat­ ment system, and a distribution system.

This is duplicated on a smaller scale on the building’s roof to support the project’s landscaping without a need for potable water use.

Energy-efficient fixtures and appliances will also contribute to the LEED certification, as will an interior 100-foot high green wall.

DIALOG’s Cinnamon describes this fea­ ture as one of the central focal points of the building interior.

“Although the atrium will be narrow, only four-metres wide, it will provide a huge opportunity for natural light to flow into the building,” he explains, adding that the atrium will be located adjacent to the neigh­ bouring 12-storey TELUS Building. “It will incorporate seven staircases that intercon­ nect the first eight office floors. At ground level, the atrium will serve double duty by acting as a connector to the LRT and the Plus+ 15 elevated pedestrian network.”

The TELUS Sky Building has been de­ scribed as one of the most technologically innovative and environmentally friendly buildings in North America. It will provide 100 per cent fresh indoor air supply and the highest levels of natural light in Calgary. It will also consume less water and other re­ sources than comparable buildings.

§ Silica Fume § Steel Fibres § SPEC MIX® Core Fill § SPEC MIX ® Mortars § Stone Veneer Mortars § Fibre Base Coat Stucco Mix

The building is anticipated to achieve a 30 per cent reduction in grid-energy de­ mand and to reduce annual CO2 emissions by 395,000 kilograms.

A nod to public art

Another interesting aspect of the TELUS Sky Building will be the incorporation of a 160,000 square-foot LED public-art installa­ tion. The tower’s north and south façades will be fabricated with 600 custom LED bulbs, essentially wrapping the public artwork around the window frames to create pixels.

The LEDs were manufactured in Canada while the façade itself was developed in Ko­ rea. According to Leew, the integration of these two took some effort.

“We worked with SACO Technologies in Montreal to develop custom components from scratch,” he explains. “These com­ ponents then were shipped directly from Montreal to the curtainwall plant in South Korea. Other SACO components shipped directly to Calgary, where everything came together.”

The artwork was designed in collabora­ tion with renowned artist Douglas Coup­ land. A tribute to the Northern Lights, Cou­ pland’s display will attempt to replicate the Northern Lights via a 12-minute sequence of changing colour patterns.

“The idea for the public art came from the project owner, Westbank,” explains Cin­ namon. “The lighting display is fully inte­ grated into the façades of the building. It’s a unitized system.”

Cinnamon admits that this additional feature added an interesting twist to an al­ ready complicated project. But one that was successfully overcome.

“It did add a degree of complexity,” he states. “But it was presented early enough that it was fairly seamless to integrate.”

Calling all visitors

Scheduled for summer 2019 occupancy, the TELUS Sky Building will certainly have earned its place as a centre of attraction on Calgary’s skyline. The goal of the building has been described as “to contribute to the Calgary core in a meaningful way”. Having pushed the boundaries on design and engi­ neering, it’s safe to say that the tower has ac­ complished all of this – and more. n

TradeSpace: A new place to build

By Jordan Tetreau

TradeSpace exterior views.

Over the past 24 months, there has been an explosion of office space co-working across the world. This new method of work space distribution can be found in most major cities, as this new model offers a flexible, amenity-rich, collaborative space. Compa­ nies such as We Work and Serendipity Labs have begun providing co-working spaces in many major cities. According to Yardi Matrix data, co-working as a sector grew by 62 per cent across 20 cities in the United States last year alone, which is double the increase from 2017. JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated) predicts that shared office space will represent 30 per cent of the commercial real estate market by 2030.

Until now, the co-working community has focused primarily on tech start-ups and professional services and they tend to occupy trendy urban offices or glamourous downtown high-rises. A group in Calgary, Alberta is taking a different approach.

TradeSpace is pioneering a new genre of co-working, catering to the needs of small-to-medium-sized trade contractors, light manu­ facturers and wholesalers. Co-founded by Jordan Tetreau, a com­ mercial general contractor and Daniel Delgado, owner of a bou­ tique engineering firm, the two are well versed in the challenges of entrepreneurship. In our struggling Canadian economy, particu­ larly in those provinces most affected by slowdowns in the oil and gas industry, small businesses are fighting to survive. TradeSpace, a first-of-its-kind in Canada, offers on-demand office and warehouse space on a month-to-month basis with one simple fee.

“As a general contractor, I struggled to find affordable warehouse and office space to run my business from,” says Tetreau. “Most landlords require long-term lease commitments, review of busi­

In addition to the tangible value of office and warehouse space, collaborations among members has resulted in a micro-economy, where business opportunities are shared, construction contracts have been awarded and money has flowed back to members on TradeSpace maintenance and capital improvement projects. “Any­ one can put a bunch of businesses together under one roof and call it co-working but the real magic happens with the careful cultiva­ tion of community culture,� says Delgado. “It is our mission to help our members thrive in their businesses and push beyond boundar­ ies. We truly believe that we are stronger together and that business resilience and growth can be rooted in collaboration.�

When asked what is next for TradeSpace, the answer was clear. “Our goal is to open TradeSpace locations across Canada, and to help other small businesses thrive.�

A Golden Birthday for an Iconic Calgary Landmark: The Calgary Tower turns 50

By Taryn Rittberg

In 2018, one of the most iconic landmarks gracing the city of Cal­ gary’s skyline, reached the midway mark to a century.

After 50 years it can certainly be said the Calgary Tower has with­ stood the test of time. When first built, the Calgary Tower was the tallest building in western Canada, standing at 676 feet. With work beginning on February 19, 1967, the Calgary Tower officially opened on June 30, 1968 with the name Husky Tower and has since become a well-loved destination for both locals and tourists.

The initial idea of a tower was a result of a number of submissions from the public, looking for a project to commemorate the centen­ nial celebrations for Canada’s 100th birthday. However, this project was not chosen at the time. Some years later the private sector took up the project and construction of the tower began.

At the time of the Calgary Tower's construction, to build a sky­ scraper was not an easy task. To complete this project took over a year (around 15 months), at the tune of $3.5 million. With the foun­

dation created by a continual concrete pour, workers worked for 24 straight days, 24 hours a day. Construction workers who worked on the building, recall the project as being fun, exciting, and one-of-akind.

Over the past 50 years, many changes have taken place to the Cal­ gary Tower. A new observation deck was added, a fire cauldron for the Olympics created, glass flooring installed, and the placement of LED lights around the tower, are examples a few of these changes.

Each of these additions has added a piece of history to the building and made the Calgary Tower experience more exciting and memo­ rable for visitors who travel from near and far alike.

After 50 years it can certainly be said the Calgary Tower has withstood the test of time.

On Canada Day weekend 2018, the Calgary Tower celebrated its history, legacy, and golden birthday with a special celebration at the tower. To mark this momentous occasion, one more addition has been made, a screening room on the observation deck was complet­ ed. Equipped with 52-inch televisions, guests of the tower are now able to view a film documenting the history of the tower. Placed at the top of the tower, on the viewing floor, visitors are able to enjoy the view while learning the history of the tower.

Although there are many new buildings being constructed in Cal­ gary, there will always be a special place for the one that started it all, Calgary Tower. It will forever be remembered by the old and young alike as a staple of the city. And, with all of the upgrades and great care the tower is given, we know it will be around for the next 50 years, allowing the next generation to enjoy it as well. n

Calgary City Hall project a massive and meticulous undertaking

By Jim Timlick

Everybody knows you can’t fight city hall, but it turns out you can fight to preserve it.

In 2014, city staff were alarmed to dis­ cover that Calgary’s Historic City Hall building was literally falling apart. De­ cades of wind, snow and rain lashing the 108-year-old building had taken a heavy toll on its sandstone exterior. The situa­ tion was so serious, in fact, that a piece of sandstone fell from the building in Sep­ tember of that year.

While no one was hurt in the incident (the stone landed on an unused balcony away from staff and members of the pub­ lic), it did prompt city officials to under­ take a full investigation into the structural integrity of the building’s exterior. A thor­ ough examination revealed many of the storied edifice’s exterior features were rot­ ting and needed to be either rehabilitated or replaced.

Darrel Bell, acting director of facility management at the City of Calgary, says

the heritage status of the Historic City Hall building and its historical legacy made preserving it the city’s only real op­ tion.

“It’s the last type of its kind building in Western Canada and Calgary has precious few of those types of buildings left behind so replacing it was never really an option,” he says. “When it’s a protected asset at the provincial, national and municipal levels [replacement] is never an option if you can repair it.”

In early 2015, city staff approached Calgary’s city council with a $34.1 million plan to rehabilitate the exterior of Histor­ ic City Hall and work began in earnest lat­ er that spring. The project, which is being conducted in three phases, is more than half way complete and remains on budget and on schedule to be wrapped up by June 2020. It’s been estimated the work will ex­ tend the life of the building’s exterior for another 100 years.

It is a massive and meticulous under­ taking to say the least. As part of the proj­ ect, most of the more than 15,000 pieces of sandstone that comprise the building’s surface, weighing on average 300 kilo­ grams or more, will have to be repaired or treated in one fashion or another. The detailed nature of the work meant that the entire building had to be catalogued digitally, including inputting every single stone into a digital map before any work began, so that everything would eventu­ ally be put back the way it originally was.

“We digitally mapped every piece of stone on that building,” Bell says. “It was something like 15,522 stones. Every one of those stones was put into a computer model. Of those, 15,142 stones required some kind of treatment, whether it be a cleaning or rehabilitation. We knew ex­ actly what we wanted to do before we ever touched the building.”

As if that wasn’t challenging enough, city staff and Canadian-based EllisDon Construction and Building Services which is performing most of the reha­ bilitation work, have also had to contend with that fact most of the original sand­ stone pieces used to build Historic City Hall were supplied by quarries in and around Calgary. Those quarries have long since closed and that meant sourcing new stone that is as close a match to the origi­ nal as possible. An estimated 1,700 stones will need to be replaced.

As a result, the city had to import sandstone from Poland via a company in Germany, Spain and the United States to replace any old pieces that couldn’t be re­ used. It also had to look to Canada’s East Coast for stone masons who could help to maintain the building’s original architec­ tural features.

“Getting the right sandstone and mak­ ing sure it’s as compatible to the origi­ nal stone is a challenge,” Bell remarks.

“It needs to be compatible physically as in the material structure that’s sand and silica-based. You don’t want to have two different stones sitting close together be­ cause they’d be non-compatible. You also want to have a visual match.”

One of the biggest challenges involved in the project for EllisDon and its crew has been working in relatively tight quar­ ters. Because the City Hall building occu­ pies most of the footprint of the site, there is little on-site storage space and most of the materials required for the job have to be stored elsewhere, including any new pieces of sandstone.

As a result, the new stone pieces, which are shipped in sea-can storage contain­ ers, have to be wet cut at an off-site loca­ tion, dried out, pieced together to make sure they fit and then colour-matched.

If everything goes according to plan, the pieces are then brought to City Hall where they are reassembled. Joanne Fos­ ter, senior project manager for EllisDon, jokingly says it’s the equivalent of piec­ ing together a puzzle at a friend’s place, returning the pieces to their box and then putting them together all over again when you get home.

Of course, that hasn’t been the only challenge for Foster and her company.

Because of the building’s heritage status, EllisDon has had to work closely with various historical organizations to make sure all of the work they do meets mu­ nicipal, provincial and federal heritage regulations.

“They approved the original submis­ sions but since we’re obviously having to make modifications out of necessity they have to be involved and approve and un­ derstand we’re doing minimally invasive work wherever we can,” she says. “Simi­ larly, if we find that they’ve noted it’s bet­ ter to replace a stone and our masons and conservators are saying no, you can actu­ ally repair this then that’s a good thing.”

Bell stresses that every effort is be­ ing made to reuse the building’s original sandstone pieces whenever possible, even if they cannot be returned to the same spot where they were originally used. In fact, he says about 20 per cent of the ma­ terial that has to be repaired will be used elsewhere.

peratures dipping into the -40 C range, it hasn’t had any real impact on the City Hall rehabilitation efforts.

The first phase of the project, which involved site stabilization work including foundation repairs and a new rainwater management system, wrapped up in 2016.

The rainwater system collects water from the roof of the centre building and chan­ nels it back through the building where it is eventually collected. Weeping tiles were installed near the building’s founda­ tion to help mitigate water damage to its sandstone exterior. In addition, a new gly­ col snow melt system around the exterior foundation means sand and other snow melting materials no longer have to be re­ lied on as much thereby meaning less wear and tear on the outside of the building.

Phase 2 of the project was completed in 2017 and included the installation of scaffolding and a heavy-duty wrap around the entire building that features an image of Historic City Hall. The wrap has al­ lowed EllisDon crews to continue work­ ing regardless of whatever Mother Nature throws at them and also helps contain any dust from a small on-site masonry work­ shop where stone is cut.

The third and final phase of the project involves the actual sandstone rehabilita­ tion and replacement work. It is scheduled to be completed by June of next year.

Foster says one of the most gratifying aspects of her involvement in the project has been witnessing the spirit of coopera­ tion that exists between all the partners in­ volved in the project.

“Communication is the key with all of us because there are so many players involved.

Just making sure everybody is on the same page all the time is so important. We have a lot more meetings than your typical proj­ ect just to make sure we’re all on the same page,” she says.

“It’s been a very collaborative approach.

The team we have here, and everyone who has come together on this team, has been very passionate about the historic aspect of this job and being involved in this once-ina-lifetime project. It’s quite an honour to be on this job.”

Despite months of pre-planning, the project hasn’t been without its share of sur­ prises. The different construction methods used when Historic City Hall was originally built more than a century ago have created some logistical challenges for everyone in­ volved. There is also a portico located near one of the entrances that will have to be rekeyed to the building to ensure it doesn’t pull away.

Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, was the discovery that City Hall’s famed clock tower had started to lean away from the building.

“If you’ve ever seen the building that’s the major element that goes way above the height of anything else. It was starting to lean away from the building and wasn’t as structurally sound as we would have liked it to be,” Bell says. “We had to do some struc­ tural reinforcement inside the clock tower to make sure that doesn’t happen anymore.”

The tower houses the Seth Thomas Clock, which was installed in 1911, and is the only

remaining timepiece of its kind in the coun­ try. The clock will be on display in the Cal­ gary Municipal Building until this fall when it will be reinstalled in the clock tower.

There were a few other non-construction discoveries along the way too. In late 2018, the time capsule placed under the corner­ stone in September 1908 was retrieved.

The City is working with a conservator to preserve the contents and develop a treat­ ment plan. Workers also discovered a flag from 1912 that was hidden in the roof of the structure and is believed to have been com­ missioned for the visit of His Royal Highness Prince Arthur the Duke of Connaught and Strathern, who served as the 10th Governor General of Canada. There are plans for the flag to be framed and displayed once work on the building is completed.

The rehabilitation efforts taking place at Historic City Hall have been the subject of much conjecture among Calgarians, espe­ cially since the building has literally been kept under wraps since the heavy-duty tarps were installed around it. That will change when the wrap is removed in 2020 and pass­ ersby will be able to take a look for them­ selves as work on the project is completed.

Foster, for one, can’t wait to hear what people have to say.

“I wouldn’t say we’re anxious. We’re very, very excited,” she says. “We know there’s go­ ing to be a lot of opinions when they see it and about why’d we do it this way or that way, but overall I think Calgarians will be really pleased with what we’re doing here.” n

Problems often arise when an adult child separates from his or her spouse and then claims an interest in the family business or the family trust. However, the business and the trust were never created to benefit the future husband or wife of your children.

Disagreements due to a divorce are stressful and costly, and often will result in litigation against the family member.

Fundamentally, succession planning in­ volves determining what will happen when a business owner exits their business, and specifically planning for issues that could arise in the future. When planning for a major change in one’s business involve­ ment, there are a multitude of aspects to consider, including financial, family, legal, tax, and the emotional ramifications of this change. It also requires the business owner to choose their trusted advisors, those who will work well together and specifically who will take the lead. It is a challenging exer­ cise that requires commitment and perse­ verance to be successful. The exercise in­ volves shareholder agreements, valuations, tax planning, marriage agreements, living trusts, wills and incapacity planning.

Succession planning is key to both main­ taining and preserving your family’s wealth, including, the assets and operations of your family business, and maintaining the equity built up in the family company for the fu­ ture generations (this can be shared with your family through the creation of a family trust). The establishment of a family trust or estate freeze will require you to consider a multitude of documents including marriage contracts to protect the assets being trans­ ferred to adult children from a spouse or former spouse. From a family law perspec­ tive, the importance of succession planning is ensuring the assets created during your lifetime are passed on to your family and not a spouse by marriage into your family.

a succession plan is to develop a strategy to alleviate any future claims against the busi­ ness or the trust by a non-family member, such as the former spouse of the shareholder or the spouse of a beneficiary of the family trust.

To prevent the family business from be­ ing attacked due a separation or divorce, we recommend that your succession planning includes drafting cohabitation agreements, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect the family business from being devalued and interfered with by a non-fami­ ly member following a separation.

named in the litigation and unwillingly dragged into the divorce of a family mem­ ber. It is prudent to resolve in a marriage contract all such financial matters as part of your proper succession planning, and avoid any unforeseen consequences due to a future separation of a shareholder or beneficiary of the family trust.

A marriage contract provides insurance to address the unpleasant consequences of a separation in advance and avoid being part of any litigation in the future. We do not know what life will bring, but we can address many of the uncertainties of a di­ vorce and its impact upon a family trust and the family business in a prenuptial agreement. We will prepare waiver and releases as part of the creation of a family trust to waive any claims by a spouse to the trust funds that you wish to preserve

for your children and grandchildren. Ac­ cordingly, a family lawyer is an important part of your team to review and develop your succession planning, and protect your family’s wealth.

voting common shares to his commonlaw partner for income splitting. Things were going well and he was making good money. He never paid any dividends to his partner because she had a good job and didn’t need the money. Johnny started an RRSP and named his partner as the beneficiary using the bank forms.

He expensed whatever receipts he could to his business and purchased his vehicles through the business. The good times were never going to end.

Johnny’s relationship with his partner deteriorated to the point where it needed to end. They owned a home together, and they agreed that Johnny would buy her out of the house. The mortgage lender told him they needed a lawyer to handle the transaction and referred them to a real estate lawyer who transferred title to Johnny’s name as sole owner, Johnny took out a new mortgage to take out the old mortgage, and put some cash into the lawyer’s trust account so that his partner walked away with half of the lender’s ap­ praised value in cash. Johnny then picked up the phone and called his bookkeeper and told him “she isn’t a shareholder any­ more”. Johnny did nothing further.

Three years later Johnny was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died before he could execute a will (in fact, Johnny never spoke to a lawyer at all). His estate is going to be administered on intestacy because he died without a will. Johnny’s brother, Jimmy, steps into the breach to act as personal representative of the es­ tate. Johnny died without a partner, no children, and no parents, so Johnny’s sur­ viving siblings (Jimmy, Jerry, and Jenny) are equal beneficiaries. In short order, Jimmy finds out that: • Johnny died with his ex-partner as the designated beneficiary of his RRSP, the ex-partner received the RRSP proceeds and Johnny’s estate received the tax liability.

• Johnny died with his ex-partner still holding 50 per cent of the common shares of his business. The ex was go­ ing to receive half of the value of the business on dissolution.

• Johnny used company money to buy his ex-partner out of the house - Jimmy’s accountant determined that this was a loan to shareholders

and amended tax returns to be filed.

Johnny’s estate eventually had to pay additional funds to the ex and his income tax under an amended return was re-assessed with $80,000 payable.

A very sad story, but one that clearly had problems of the “low hanging fruit” variety that would not have required teams of professionals and tens of thou­ sands in fees to resolve before Johnny died. The beneficiaries are receiving sig­ nificantly less than they should have. In the end, the estate wound up with sig­ nificant yet avoidable payables, as well as substantial legal and accounting fees.

need to take steps to appoint themselves or someone else to act as a director and officer of your business. They may need to hire other professionals to run your busi­ ness. The will should dovetail with the shareholder agreement so that the right people are appointed with all the powers and authorities they need to ensure that the business can either survive as a go­ ing concern or the value of the business is maximized as quickly and efficiently for the benefit of the beneficiaries under your will and your fellow shareholders. You

should think long and hard about who is the right person to be your executor, par­ ticularly if this person is going to need to run your business and get along with the other shareholders, directors or officers of your business.

What happens to your business after you are gone? Do your children want get into the business? Do you want your children in the business? These are all things that you should consider, but also act upon by talking with your family and your advisors.

Your relationship with the other share­ holders of your company is a lot like a marriage - there are ups and downs, and sometimes, the relationship needs to come to an end. In the same way that a nuptial agreement can address many things like what happens if the relationship ends, a shareholder agreement speaks to how you and your business partners are going to deal with each other. These are not “fill in the blank” agreements - they must be customized to meet the specific needs and plans of yourself, your partners, your business, and your future. From a suc­ cession perspective, things that should be addressed in a shareholder agreement include (a) how an existing shareholder gets out of the business, (b) how a new shareholder gets into the business, (c) what happens on the death or incapacity of a shareholder, and (d) what happens if a shareholder winds up in a dispute with their spouse or partner.

Every shareholder in your business should also have a will and an enduring power of attorney. How do these personal documents affect your business?

enduring power of attorney for the sake of consistency.

Trusts

Trusts are an ancient English institution used for planning for nearly a thousand years. They are created during one's lifetime by deed or by will and are also known as tes­ tamentary trusts. Generally, they allow the business-wealth owner to appoint a trustee who will determine how funds will be dis­ tributed and to whom. In other words, it allows a measure of control even after inca­ pacity or death and in some cases sound tax

planning. They have protective characteris­ tics as well in case of marriage breakdown, spendthrift heirs and related circumstances.

Proper Planning No one wants to talk about when they will die or if they become incapacitated.

No one wants to talk about what happens if a relationship turns sour. A surprising number of people avoid these conversations simply because of superstition. These can admittedly be difficult conversations, but they need to be had. You need to engage the right qualified professionals for the as­ sistance you need.

In our experience, a comprehensive and effective plan for a businessperson will re­ quire lawyers (corporate, wills/trusts/estate, and family), an accountant, financial advi­ sor, banker, and insurance agent. One of these professionals will need to be designat­ ed as the “project manager” who will coor­ dinate the work to ensure it all fits together.

If you anticipate strong resistance or if you already know differences of opinion exist, consider engaging a professional mediator to help facilitate the discussions. You want your plan to achieve what is in everyone’s best interests, not just yours, and most im­ portantly, you want your plan to work.

“They’ll need to figure it all out them­ selves when I’m gone” is a plan that does nothing but jeopardize the business, destroy relationships, and enrich the professionals who have to help everyone else pick up the pieces.

This may sound terribly expensive but do you remember that old Fram oil filter com­ mercial? The mechanic recommends a Fram oil filter, and the suggestion is that choosing a cheaper filter could lead to engine seizure.

The voiceover is the mechanic saying “you can pay me now or you can pay me later”.

Keep in mind that, when planning, you can take input from all of the stakeholders and advice from all of the professionals, and craft a plan that is intended to work as ef­ ficiently and effectively as possible. Without planning, those left behind may have noth­ ing more than the tools available by statute or common law. This leads to serious unin­ tended consequences that cost a lot more to deal with than a good plan ever could. n

YOUNG CONSTRUCTION LEADERS We are an industry who, in our more candid moments, will admit that attract­ ing young people to careers in construc­ tion and succession planning are two ma­ jor challenges related to our future. As the boomers continue to retire and the chal­ lenges of finding new talent prevail, there is legitimate cause for concern as to our industry’s future - Enter the Young Construction Leaders - a group focused on the under 35’s in our midst who are truly the lifeblood and the future of our compa­ nies and our industry.

Recognizing that young people want more than just a job - they want an op­ portunity to lead, the YCL has stepped up to meet that need by providing a way for these young up and comers to build their

networks, and develop their knowledge as the foundations of a great career. They can connect and learn from their peers as well as from more seasoned industry vet­ erans in a variety of different events and activities ranging from networking and relationship building as part of develop­ ing a YCL community. Education and in­ teractive sessions covering subjects such as career development, leadership and other skills provide opportunities for fur­ ther growth and mentorship.

A career in our industry is marked by a tremendous amount of experiential learn­ ing acquired over 3 to 4 decades in addi­ tion to any formal learning that we may have also undertaken. The accumulated knowledge that therefore resides in our experienced practitioners is not only of high value to the organizations they be­ long to but it is also of supreme value to

those who are younger and earlier in their career path. Through the activities of YCL we are beginning, and will continue, to find ways to connect our inspired youth to the knowledge, mentoring, relation­ ships and resources that will prepare them to seize the opportunities that open up to them.

As current chair Avree Bujaczek with Pomerleau explains, “One of the most valuable accomplish­ ments the YCLC provides is creating op­ portunities to bring people together. It’s

difficult to step away from the daily grind and take the time to build relationships and learn from one another in our industry.

It can be challenging for young people or those new to the indus­ try to find these opportunities. Our events (educational, social or outreach), include dedicated time to develop soft skills such as networking and public speaking which can be difficult to gain experience in.”

The signature event for the YCLC is the annual “Leaders Ini­ tiating our Future Together” (LIFT) event. This interactive event now in its 4th year provides a platform for dialog on key topics related to the industry and professional developments. It is based on round-table discussions incorporating the sharing of perspec­ tives and insights relative to various important topics in the con­ struction industry - LIFT is not one to be missed so look for LIFT 4.0 later in 2019.

This year the YCLC is looking ahead and establishing a structure for their group and its initiatives as well as working to increase support from member companies who send staff to YCLC events. One goal of this effort is to increase attendance from management to help facili­ tate conversations about meeting the industry’s current challenges as well as how to shape tomorrow’s leaders. This year also brings a heavy focus on community outreach by working with area non-profits and generating volunteer opportunities for our YCLC members.

“Communication and social media have given us the opportunity to showcase our industry in a candid way that makes us more relatable and establishes a new perception of what it’s like to work in construction,” said Jessie Bampfield, YCLC Secretary. “While ‘boots on the ground’ describes much of the work in construction, we also expose new technologies, productivity tools and leadership skills that can enhance the careers of young people in our industry.”

Last year, 71% of our underground natural gas lines were hit by contractors.

YCLC has explored all types of social media in their desire to reach both older and younger generations. Their most successful efforts have been when information trickled down to the younger generation through higher management in a way that seemed to say ‘go ahead, attend events, get involved.’ The committee hopes to use communications and social media to bring more young people into the industry, maybe even some from other professions.

“We hope to make Calgary and Canada a competitive leader in the development and innovation that lies ahead in the construction industry,” Bampfield said.

With increasing numbers in the construction industry retiring, it’s up to the next generation to step in and take the reins. With­ out real leaders there will be vast economic consequences; elimi­ nating these consequences by helping to develop future leaders is the true value of the YCLC.

“To me,” said Curtis Wood, Vice Chair of YCLC, “the YCLC is an avenue for young construction professionals to get an introduction to the construction industry where they can learn and network with a concentrated group of motivated individuals who are all trying to improve themselves.”

YCLC is for young individuals (35 or under) in Calgary who are setting out to develop a career and to make an impression.

The committee is a group of energetic, up and coming leaders who are dedicated to becoming a strong part of the construction in­ dustry and, if this young group is a glimpse of the future, we have a feeling the future of construction in Calgary is looking very bright!

For those with a few years under their belts this is a call to action to support these individuals in their journey and ensure they find the resources that they need. After all our true legacy as an industry will always be the ones we leave behind to carry on the work and continue the mission. Those who, in time, will make their own par­ ticular mark on our great city, our companies and our communities.

What will be your contribution to ensure this in 2019?

Builders, Owners, Consultants (BOC): Formerly OAEC This committee is now over five years old and has been a funda­ mental contributor to the CCA mission to foster multi-stakeholder engagement in our industry.

Historically the Owners, Architects, Engineers & Contractors (OAEC) Committee largely focused on the planning and facilitation of annual full-day events attended by close to 300 industry stakehold­ ers who engaged in working sessions, dialogue, and activities entered around industry issues. The intent was to leverage the perspectives of the different stakeholders and, in a balanced and fully informed man­ ner, explore ways in which the industry could universally respond.

These events were successful in capturing a tremendous amount of informed contribution. Momentum increased as the

participation grew, and the depth of the conversations began to truly connect members across multiple disciplines and roles around the real issues.

Beginning in mid 2018 and over the course of the year, this group engaged in a number of strategic conversations around reflecting on our historic success and how we should consider our future role.

Some of the questions we were asking through this period in­ cluded: • Is the role of OAEC solely the facilitation of annual events or should this be more? - Based on our experience through the events, the manner in which the core group had grown, the interest of more and more industry professionals to partici­ pate and the general feeling of the value of such dialogue, we were beginning to suspect there was more.

• What are the issues we are trying to solve?

• What do we believe as to the state of the industry and the issues?

• How will this inform our intent?

• What is our “why”? - Taking inspiration directly from Simon Sinek like many before us, we felt that if we took the time to explore this question this would be a major guide to us in how to proceed.

• Is OAEC the right name? - The name itself reinforced the hierarchy of the industry and was not inclusive enough con­ sidering the diversity of the design and construction indus­ try.

Committees

As a result of the time spent with a tremendous group of indi­ viduals, we arrived at a number of key conclusions.

The team concluded that both the mission and the opportunity went beyond merely annual events, and this group should seek to lead a significant and ongoing initiative focused on continual dialogue and action that would include events and many other engagement vehicles moving forward.

Based on developing a belief that the issues we are trying to solve are complex, multi-disciplined, and therefore systemic to the industry, we formed our intent: • to provide a safe environment for robust stakeholder dia­ logue in order to • develop a path to superior performance in the built environ­ ment with • an enhanced value proposition for all and in doing so • inspire change and leadership thinking.

Finally, after considering all that we believed that was needed and was possible with this important effort, we revisited the name of the group and arrived at Builders, Owners & Consultants (BOC).

Builders - General contractors, trade partners, distributors, suppliers & manufacturers… Owners - Owners & investors, developers, tenants, end users, communities and the public…

Consultants, Urban planners, architects, engineering in all its disciplines, interior design, landscape architects, environmental design, and the many advisory resources needed to deliver suc­ cessful projects.

Under the banner of our new “Why” statement of “Transform­ ing Together”, this group is now embarking on planning for 2019 and we look forward to involving our membership and our in­ dustry on all we do moving forward.

What began as a series of events has grown into a movement with a core of dedicated volunteers and participants represent­

During 2018, this Calgary group emerged as the leading one in Canada and continues to bring lean information to the market in a unique and effective way.

As lean construction has developed over recent years it has begun its own revolu­ tion as to how the construction industry looks at process, methodologies across all aspects of the business from the site to the office.

Building off the discipline of manufac­ turers such as Toyota and taking a lead from the work in the lean construction movement in the U.S. in application to design and construction, lean is teaching us to apply techniques, logic and process management and metrics in new ways that are overhauling our approach to even the most everyday tasks, and practitioners are finding efficiencies, savings, and increased quality of results across the board.

At risk of oversimplifying, lean is about adding value through the identification and elimination of non-value-added activ­ ity, or waste. Despite our efforts, our indus­ try and our approaches are dogged by stag­ gering amounts of waste leading to results that are well below our actual capabilities when we are optimized. Lean is showing us how to get there.

The Lean CoP is seeking to inspire the adoption of lean practices across the de­ sign and construction industry through engagement.

The prime vehicle for this is through monthly Lean Coffees, where individu­ als can hear from other practitioners and

Committees

pioneers as to the principles in a group en­ vironment, explore related topics in work­ ing groups, and network with members of the industry who are all at different points in their lean journey. These events are at­ tended by up to 90 people at a time and are available at no charge.

We would not want to leave you there, however.

The CCA Education program offers a clear path for your lean journey through a series of lean education programs from introductory to full-certified lean practi­ tioner.

Check out the CCA website for further details on education and Lean Coffees.

We look forward to welcoming you at your next event or class.

Women in Construction Originally founded in 2012 by female busi­ ness owners from industry, the Women In Construction (WIC) committee sought to provide a place for women in the construc­ tion industry to connect and encourage each other while also promoting the value of a career in construction for women cur­ rently outside the industry. While this may have been at the core of the group, this committee has truly come into its own as a resource for all members of our indus­ try, as can be witnessed at any of the events and activities they have hosted. With a new chair and new faces on the committee in 2018, WIC is continuing to build on their legacy and it was certainly a busy year.

• 2018 kicked off with an informal meet-and-greet/wine tasting attended

by 120 delegates who came to meet the new committee members and connect with the community at large.

• They also engaged with causes our community is passionate about by hosting a spin class in support of multiple sclerosis, which raised $2,200 in support of the cause.

• This was followed by the sixthannual golf tournament in support of Dress for Success Calgary. This soldout event raised funds for and col­ lected donated clothing for women who are re-entering the workforce.

• In addition to events and networking opportunities to build their network of key relationships, WIC launched their Exposed program in 2018 to rave reviews. With the second ses­ sion in the series planned for April 3, 2019, and another in October, this half-day of learning and sharing is developing its own brand.

In events and activities attended by men and women of all ages and roles in our industry, WIC has truly found its niche. Whether through networking events or powerful teaching moments, they are providing us with new relation­ ships, fresh perspectives and tools to in­ form our roles and our careers to help us lead our teams with better ways to think, act, and apply ourselves in our respective organizations.

The Women in Construction commit­ tee is excited to continue working to pro­ vide a positive and supportive community

for all and encourage a culture of diversity and equality throughout the industry.

Sign up for Exposed, you will be glad you did. n
