The Canadian Design and Construction Report — January 2012 – 3

Welcome!This issue, we focus on awards recognizing excel-

lence in concrete and wood construction – and thechallenges of obtaining effective (free) media publicity.

Although perhaps not intentional, the awards sto-ries and advice on media recognition go together quitewell, since awards are a great way to achieve positive recognition foryour business or practice.

So, as well, are voluntary community activities and initiatives. Thegreater the actual community service and the less these initiatives areseen as self-serving for your own business, the greater the chance thatmedia outlets will provide you with publicity.

Of course, advertising also has its place in the story – after all thispublication, like others, earns its revenue by providing targeted and ef-fective advertisements. We respect that editorial presence is more“valuable” than advertising, so do our best (without compromising ed-itorial integrity) to allow our advertisers appropriate recognition in spe-cial features and elsewhere in the publication. As well, our advertiserscan receive unlimited comprehensive free consulting services on howto get their stories placed – without advertising, of course – in our com-petitors’ publications.

We’re always interested in hearing about your community service,awards and recognition, and your business success stories. You canemail me at [email protected] or phone 888-432-3555 ext 224.

By Mark BuckshonEditor, The Canadian Design and Construction Report

My editorial heart is boiling as I write this article. Wadingthrough a mass of submissions for inclusion in the magazine,I’m saying “no” over and over. Individuals have taken the timeto write what they think are useful articles for publication, butthey are landing on what used to be described as the “spike”.

The “spike” is a pointed metal tool designed to hold mate-rials not suitable for publication. In the days of paper and inkin the editing process, editors would grab the copy, quickly re-view it and if it was worthy of publication, complete copy edit-ing for the production department. If the materials couldn’t beused, they would “land on the spike.” My spike is rather fulltoday.

Most frustratingly, we have an article (which shall remainnameless in this commentary) which should not run in our pub-lication because it is utterly inappropriate for our readership.We explained to the company involved – which has a relevantdivision and story which would match our readers’ demograph-ics – the reason and how the story could be revised, but theyhave insisted it appear with the focus they wish. I wonder ifsomeone is misplacing energy, resources and marketing ca-pacities in insisting we run the article unchanged.

Editorial publicity can be a wonderfully powerful resourcefor your business or practice, especially when it is free. Thecreditability of news-section coverage is incredibly greater thanany advertising pitch. The publicity can be repurposed in yourmarketing materials to add to your image, brand and to swingdecision-makers your way. Accordingly, it makes sense to grabas much free editorial coverage as you can get, but to do this,you need to get it right. Accordingly, I’ll share some simplepointers with you.

Consider the media’s focus, relevance and readership. Does it match your market?

If you are selling a residential product to a community ofhomeowners in a local community, arranging editorial publicityin a publication geared for the professionals and trades acrossthe country is of limited value. However, you can tell a successstory relevant to both local and national audiences if you arecreative – you can describe how you succeeded in your market,and how you are able to differentiate yourself from the com-petition. Then, the national publicity can have local value, whenyou repurpose it.

Let writers write. Watch for the cliches and platitudes.

If you are not a writer, let a professional writer interview you and turn the story into a formatthat can be published. Alas, there are some rather boring conventions out there regardingwhat is expected. I’m not saying these standards – the giant charity check, the ribbon cuttingwith gold shovels, and so on – have no place in the media – but if you can tell your story with alittle more life and variety, a little more creativity and imagination, you are more likely to conveythe image you are seeking and obtain the kind of publicity you would like to achieve.

Contract with a writer worthy of your message

The best approach, in my opinion, is to contact individuals whose work you have seenpublished in relevant media and see if they would like a freelance assignment. This approachhas two advantages: The writer has proven that he or she can meet the publication’s editorialstandards and may have greater ability to pitch the relevant story. Secondly, the freelancework, which tops up the writer’s income, does not need to cost you an arm-and-a-leg. (Differentwriters have different fees; you will need to see what they want and whether it fits your budget.)

In our case, if you are a client and wish an feature written about your business, we’ll providethe writing services. We might ask you to provide some notes and background, but you won’tneed to worry about the writing.

Inexpensive writers are sometimes available from community college journalism programs– but beware, the writing is often uneven and not up to professional standards.

Finally, if you wish, do it yourself but do what you can to think about the readers’ interests.Focus on your audience first – and the rest will take care of itself. Editors can often turn“badly written” stories into useable articles, if the source material, at least, has relevanceto our readership.

I’ve calmed down now. While my spike is overflowing, at least I’ve written somethingthat is hopefully useful to our readers.

MEDIA PUBLICITY

How to magnify positive word of mouth

for your businessBy Mark Buckshon Editor, Canadian Design and Construction Report

You will hit a marketing home run if your local newspaperor television station profiles your business on its news pro-gram in a positive feature article. Conversely, you could beforced into bankruptcy if the opposite happens. Media pub-licity, of course, is a two-edged sword. It magnifies every-thing. If you have a great reputation and positive word ofmouth spreads, you’ll multiply the results with positive pub-licity. The reverse applies if your story is negative. The big challenge with publicity is that you cannot con-trol its timing and results. With one special exception to bediscussed later, you can’t expect the news program pro-ducer or publisher to distribute your story, exactly as pro-vided, on your schedule. Nor, in most cases, will yourrelationship as an advertiser with the publisher influence orcontrol the news coverage.

Publicity’s return on investment is usually worthwhile

However, you can still manage and plan the publicity-seeking process and here the reward for your input effortwill far exceed the cost. Say, you have a $100,000 advertis-ing and promotion budget. Would you achieve greater re-sults by spending the money on print and Internet ads orby hiring or contracting with a competent media relationsemployee or consultant? I expect your return on invest-ment would be significantly higher if you invested in themedia relations process rather than the advertising. (If youradvertising is effective, then you may find allocating addi-tional funds for publicity initiatives will enhance your adver-tising’s effectiveness.) If your business is smaller, you will need to attract thepublicity yourself, but again, your reward for effort will bepotentially far greater than rushing around like a sparrow,submitting one public tender bid after another, hopingsomething succeeds.



Publicity creates credibility

The reason solid media publicity is so valuable is itshelpful impact on your credibility, trust, and therefore yourbrand. Positive publicity is like great word of mouth, mag-nified by the reputation and distribution of the media outletgenerating the news. With a credible media presence, youwill find doors will open that you didn’t know exist, and ex-isting clients will be more willing to enthusiastically referand support your business. Of course, the converse also applies if you are caughtup in scandal or bad news, such as safety-related job sitedeaths, fines or civil/criminal penalties associated with yourprojects, or consumer complaints of poor service or workquality. You need to be prepared with crisis contingencyplans, a set of protocols and rules designed to minimize thedamage and (in some cases) restore your business reputa-tion quickly. You won’t have the resources for this level offormal planning if you are small but you should always beaware of the rules of the game. Then, if a crisis occurs,you will be able to reduce the damage of negative public-ity.

Make sure everything is in order first

Be sure all is in order at your business before you seekmedia attention. You certainly don’t want publicity if youremployees are violating ethical guidelines, if your site crewsare so undisciplined that they don’t care about safety, andyour client service is so sloppy that people are complain-ing.

Publicity consultants

Public/media relations consultants and specialists varygreatly in competence. Large known PR agencies may at-tract you with their best rainmakers, but then assign a juniorwho doesn’t know how to think creatively and is con-strained to recommend ineffective, bland, and boring strate-gies. You can connect with peers in your community and tradeassociation for guidance. If one of your best clients or sup-pliers is achieving great media relations success, find outhow they are doing it. Through references from your tradeassociations, you may find colleagues in other cities whohave achieved great results. Often you can borrow thegreat ideas elsewhere and apply them in your own commu-nity, where they will appear to be new. In most communities, community colleges have public-ity/media relations programs. Students can be inexpensive,but their work quality will be uneven. You may connect withmedia relations specialists and consultants through yourcommunity service and non-profit marketing contributions(a great way to gain some publicity for yourself). I’ll be happy to exchange email ideas with you aboutpublicity options relevant to you at no charge, and consultwith you by phone for an hourly fee in greater detail if youprefer.

Association thrives serving hundreds of B.C. members in tradesconstruction-related professions

CaDCR staff writer

The association name Canadian Construction Women(CCW) may not tell the whole story, but the history and in-credible energy and growth of the B.C.-based group forwomen in construction shows how the industry is evolvingto encompass the female gender.

“We’re in Vancouver and not affiliated with any national or-ganizations,” says CCW communications co-ordinator DanicaGallaher. “However, we collaborate with national groupswhen the opportunities present themselves.”

The association currently has 300 individual and corporatemembers, with 800 subscribers to the association’s regionalnewsletter.

So why is CCW independent of the Canadian Associationof Women in Construction, with chapters in several otherCanadian communities. “Up until 1984, Vancouver womenworking in construction were affiliated with NAWIC (NorthAmerican Women in Construction), which was an Americanassociation,” Gallaher said. “These women formed CanadianConstruction Women in 1984 when there wasn’t a nation-wide Canadian organization.”

In other words, while regionally focused, CCW has pio-neered and taken the lead in enhancing the role of women inthe construction industry for upwards of three decades.

Members include women working in the trades, projectmanagement, office administration and other roles. Corpo-rate memberships allow businesses to sponsor all of theirwomen employees. “At Ledcor, for example, there are 40women in our Vancouver office,” says Gallaher, who also hascommunications responsibilities for her employer.

The association “encourages women to become involvedin the construction industry through networking events,” shesaid. “We have more of a casual atmosphere where womencan learn about the industry, with a lot of educational eventswith hands-on opportunities.”

Recently, the association hosted its annual Christmas so-cial event, where members had the opportunity to participatein a “fierce gingerbread house competition,” along withgames, draws and prizes.

Representatives of the National Trade ContractorsCoalition of Canada (NTCCC) met in October with tradecontractor representatives in Saskatchewan, Alberta,Manitoba and British Columbia, the NTCCC has an-nounced. In addition, MCA Canada chairman BradDiggens and president Richard McKeagan discussedprompt payment legislation with mechanical contractormembers in Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia,and New Brunswick.

The meetings informed provincial trade contractor as-sociations and members of the current status of pro-posed prompt payment legislation in Ontario, whileanswering questions and offering support for otherprovinces seeking to follow Ontario’s example.

Ontario MPP Dave Levac had introduced the draftprompt payment legislation on June 1, 2011, the sameday the legislature was prorogued. Since then, a newdraft has been completed, observing standard industry“consensus–based” contract documents — specificallythe CCDC#2 prime contract and the CCA subcontract.

Ontario’s prompt payment legislation Ontario has thesupport of all three provincial parties, the Council of On-tario Construction Associations (COCA), the Ontario Gen-eral Contractors Association (OGCA) and the NationalTrade Contractors Coalition of Canada (NTCCC). The newdraft entitled “An Act Respecting the Protection and Vi-ability of Construction Contractors” is expected to bereintroduced in the Ontario legislature within the nextfew months.

NTCCC chair Bob Hoare (who attended and partici-pated in the October 18, 2011 meeting in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan), said of the recent meetings across thecountry: “I was thrilled to see and hear the enthusiasmexpressed by the various provincial trade contractor com-munities on the prospect of introduction of prompt pay-ment legislation in their respective provinces. Thisoverdue initiative is really taking off!”

Speaking of his impression of the October 18, 2011meeting in Edmonton, Alberta, Brad Diggens, Presidentof MJS Mechanical Ltd. (and current national chairman ofthe Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada) said:“I was extremely pleased with the (meeting) turnout andthe obvious interest on the part of Alberta trade contrac-tors with regards to the distinct possibility of prompt pay-ment legislation introduction within our province. Thisinaugural meeting acted as a perfect catalyst to initiatetrade contractor synergies within Alberta and will lead toother important trade contractor initiatives in the future.”

Betty McInerney, executive director of the MechanicalContractors Association of Manitoba (which hosted theOctober 19, 2011 meeting in Winnipeg) said: “The meet-ing in Winnipeg with NTCCC representatives garnered alot of interest from several of the trade contractors andtrade associations in Manitoba. This is definitely an issuethat needs addressing. We’ve already begun to discussour next steps! Thanks go to the Ontario trade contrac-tors who took the lead on this.”

Attendees from British Columbia, Newfoundland andLabrador, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia also ex-pressed support for the natioanl prompt payment legisla-tion initiative.

NTCCC chairman Bob Hoare, says he is:”excited andenthusiastic about the prospects of a true industry part-nership working together with COCA and OGCA on thisextremely important matter for the construction industry.”

The NTCCC was established in 2004 to provide an or-ganized forum for Canada’s national trade organizationsto share information, resources, and to collaborate on is-sues that are of common interest all. Members includethe Canadian Roofing Contractors Association, CanadianAutomatic Sprinkler Association, Canadian Masonry Con-tractors Association, Canadian Electrical Contractors As-sociation, Mechanical Contractors Association of Canada,Interior Systems Contractors Association, Thermal Insu-lation Association of Canada, Heating Refrigeration andAir-Conditioning Institute of Canada-Contractors Division,Sheet-Metal Contractors Association, and the CanadianInstitute of Steel Construction.

News briefs



Special to the Canadian Design and Construction Report

The Canadian Construction Association (CCA) has wel-comed the Nov. 30 federal government announcement un-veiling its strategy to develop a successor program for thecurrent Building Canada Plan.

“CCA applauds this announcement, which is animportant first step in the development of a long-term national infrastructure plan,” said CCA pres-ident Michael Atkinson. “This will ensure thatthere will be no federal funding gaps when the ex-isting Building Canada Plan expires in March of2014.”

As an export-driven economy, the efficient flow of pri-mary and manufactured goods or services outside its bor-ders has been a key factor in Canada’s prosperity. Canada’sability to conduct business and its reputation as a globalsupplier of goods and services depends on continued in-vestment to improve Canadian infrastructure.

“The investment in, and condition of, Canada’s infra-structure has been a barometer of its overall economic

health,” Atkinson continued. “Since infrastructure is essen-tial for productivity, innovation, competitiveness and eco-nomic growth, it is imperative that governments continueto invest in these assets.”

CCA members have long advocated a federal leadershiprole in the development of a long-term national plan for

the management and renewal of Canada’s ageing in-frastructure. The introduction of the BuildingCanada Plan was a concerted effort on the part ofall governments to do so, and was welcomed bythe Canadian construction industry.

Since that time, CCA has been pleasedwith the federal government commitment to consult

with provincial, territorial and municipal governments, aswell as industry stakeholders, which is an important nextstep in the modernization of the Canadian infrastructure net-work.

“Today’s announcement reconfirms this government’sintent to remain a long-term funding partner in the develop-ment and management of infrastructure across Canada,”Atkinson said.

OUR MISSION:

To facilitate the success of women in the Canadian construction industry by

uniting our voices, knowledge and resources through the passion of ourmembers and the women we inspire.

Heather Seftel-KirkCanadian Design and Construction Report Special Feature

The new Goodwill Social Enterprises Centre in Lon-don, a three-storey, design-build facility constructed byMcKay-Cocker Construction Ltd., allows the organiza-tion to provide all of its services at one site.

“Before we were all in separate locations so thissolidifies our mission moving forward, makes us moreaccessible to the people who need us and will helpuse create more jobs because we can now serve ourclients better,” said James Draper, Goodwill’s associ-ate marketing director.

McKay-Cocker project manager Nate Fehrman saysthe project includes a main floor retail facility, collec-tions warehouse and future café. The second floorhouses offices and classrooms and the third floor cor-porate offices and conference space.

The biggest challenge: Finding enough stagingspace to work on the construction. “There are alwayschallenges to a downtown site,” Fehrman said. “Here,Goodwill had to enter into an agreement with a neigh-bour to borrow land, with a condition it would be re-stored to its current condition post-construction.”

Located in the heart of an older area, municipal of-ficials had a great deal of input into the design andadded their own flavour to the exterior finishes to fa-cilitate continuity and fluidity in the area.

McKay-Cocker also considered environmental andaccessibility issues in designing the project. Stayingwithin the budget, the building uses energy-efficientlighting and glass.

McKay-Cocker designs and builds practicalfacility with accessibility, environment and community in mind



“The building is entirely accessibleaccording to building code but we alsoworked towards the City of London’sFADS (Facility Accessibility DesignStandards) which are much higher,”Fehrman said. “That meant wider hallsand doors beyond code, a family wash-room with a call button and adultchange facilities.”

Parking and traffic flow presentedspecial challenges. “There were con-cerns with the longer term use of theparking lot and the short term retailparking,” he said. “We defined the flowof traffic into and out of the spacebased on destination, with the store en-trance on one side and the office en-trance on another. The location of thebuilding actually facilitated a fairly cre-ative solution so there should be noproblems, even once the building isfully tenanted.”

Two key components of the new fa-cility include the Goodwill store and ca-reer centre. Draper says the wholespace is cleaner and brighter. “The ca-reer centre is more professional andthe shopping experience we now offeris more open and inviting. The donationprocess has been made easier through

a drive-in drop off and the staff is sopleased to be able to connect and reallywork together for the first time in thiscombined space.”

Draper says future plans for cur-rently vacant spaces include addingpartner groups and other non-profit or-ganizations and a café, which will in-clude an education element for peopleinterested in careers in food service.

Draper says though an official grandopening has yet to take place, the storeexperienced record sales on its first dayof actual operation with continued highsales ever since. “There has been a realbuzz about the new space and peopleare coming to see what it’s all about.”

For the RCMP in Nova Scotia, a long-awaited proj-ect to amalgamate 10 locations, with more than 500employees within the Halifax Regional Municipality,to a central facility has finally been achieved throughthe construction of a new Dartmouth building byPublic Works and Government Services Canada(PWGSC).

Through a federal government investment ofmore than $100 million, this facility will provide anaccommodation solution to resolve the challengesof a scattered workforce and address the shortfallsin facilities now reaching the end of their lives. It willalso streamline operations significantly within theprovince.

Bill Fioratos, PWGSC’s project director for RCMPH Division, says the facility will have two distinct el-ements. “There is a five-storey administrative blockand a one-storey technical block of special purposespace that will include storage, special handling fa-cilities and workshops.”

Built by PCL Constructors on a campus in Burn-side Business Park owned by the federal govern-ment, the site is best suited to meet the the RCMP’sneeds. “Besides the land mass, this site was chosenmany years ago because it met our requirements foreasy highway and airport access.”

RCMP Building Dartmouth



The building’s design is both a reflection of the space re-quirements and a deliberate statement reflecting “a dura-bility and prominence on its impact on the landscape,”Fioratos said.

The longer dimension runs east/west and is curved tofollow and attract the sun. The south face is concave andconstructed of brick and glass. “The whole facility is longand narrow so there is great light penetration, which createsa really nice atmosphere for employees.”

The building’s northern exposure is a glass curtain wallwith a convex public view. “As you enter the property, thereis a natural draw to the centre of the building, which iswhere the main public entrance lies.”

The main entrance circular rotunda will be grand andreminiscent of the old days of the Northwest Mounted Po-lice and a traditional parade square area. A large, black gran-ite wall will go from inside the space outward, and willdisplay the RCMP logo. The wall will provide informationand notice boards and a display focusing on RCMP’s NovaScotia history.

“The exterior portion of the wall will also be a backdropfor our memorial garden, displaying the names of all RCMPofficers who have fallen in the line of duty in the province,”said Fioratos. “This will be a beautiful and reflective placeto hold special events and occasions.”

Aiming for Leadership in Energy and Environmental De-sign (LEED) Gold certification, the new headquarters haveone of the largest green roofs in Atlantic Canada, rainwaterharvesting and retention for landscaping and toilets and asophisticated air handling system. “The system will meas-ure CO2 in the air and provide fresh air to adjust the levelsas needed to ensure better air quality throughout the build-ing,” he said.

Well under construction now, finishing touches are beingmade to the building envelope and internal components willbe completed by the end of 2012. “Both the RCMP andPublic Works and Government Services Canada are proudof the work this far on this project,” Fioratos said. “Throughthe efforts of a number of good partners involved with us,we are aiming for completion on time and within budget.”


On November 7th, Alberta Wood WORKS! honouredrecipients of the 2011 Prairie Wood Design Awards witha celebration at the Fairmont Hotel Macdonald in Ed-monton.

Koska notes the Atlas Coal Mine Restoration asbeing a particularly unique project. “This was a historicsite so the engineer for the project had to evaluate eachpiece of wood and connection for integrity and comeup with fixes made from original material, namely wood.The jury was so impressed with the effort of the her-itage committee going above and beyond to honor the

use of wood that they gave an award to the historic so-ciety as well.”

Besides showcasing the use of wood in these stun-ning projects, the goal of Alberta Wood WORKS is to in-crease the structural use of wood in non-residentialprojects through education and opening dialogues.“There is a real stigma out there and many people stillsee wood as inferior. Canada leads the world in forestmanagement and in fact, here it is a well-practiced artform. Forests here work on a 60-100 year cycle, whichis actually quite natural.”

Koska says much of their work involves opening dia-logues, and providing workshops, training and seminarsfor the design and construction community, and withgovernment regulators and decision-makers, to ensurethey have the facts about wood use in Canada. Throughthe awards process, they showcase the results andachievements met through a commitment to appropri-ate wood use.

Alberta Wood WORKS! Is part of a national campaignto promote the use of wood in construction and design.In Alberta, the initiative is a joint venture between theCanadian Wood Council and the Alberta Forest ProductsAssociation. For more information, visit wood-works.org/alberta.

20 – December 2011 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report

Founded in 2009 by master contractor Jim Caruk, Renos for Heroes (RFH), is anot-for-profit initiative dedicated to providing essential home building and re-designservices to our injured Canadian soldiers who have lost limbs in battle.

Through ongoing fundraising programs, the support of the Caruk Group of Com-panies, and a growing team of volunteer contractors, associations and suppliers, RFHprovides the specialised building skills and materials needed to help these nationalheroes regain dignity and mobility in their own homes.

“RFH is a growing, emerging program, and one we’re tremendously proud of,”said Caruk. “As we build our calendar for 2012, our number one focus is a call-to-action within the construction industry. Our goal, along with media sponsor Con-struction News and Report Group (CNRGP), is to get the word out about the sacrificeof these extraordinary men and women, and help bridge the funding gap by gatheringspecialized building expertise, materials and support. Our fellow professionals andassociations can really make the difference here.”

The CNRGP serves the construction market and has several publications distributedto thousands of businesses throughout Ontario, including contractors, architects, en-gineers, building owners, government officials and developers, along with a nationalonline publication which reaches an addition 75,000 readers across Canada. The latestissues are available to view at cnrgponline.weebly.com/current-issues.html .

“We’re excited to begin working with Jim and the Renos for Heroes team to helppromote awareness and understanding for our readers across the industry,” saidCNRGP co-ordinating publisher Tim Lawlor. “Our veterans never hesitated to go towork for us, and this foundation presents a unique opportunity for our professionalsat every level to give back, and honour them in a variety of ways; whether throughfundraising, supplies, or skilled labour.”

Caruk went on to say, “At RFH we are also ramping up our internal educationand advocacy efforts, and will continue to learn directly from the veterans we hopeto serve.

Delivering call-to-action with the construction industry in support ofwounded Canadian veterans

Jim Caruk & Tim Lawlor



(Ottawa, November 3, 2011) An elite group of Ontario’sleading architects, engineers, and project teams receivedWood Design Awards at the 11th annual Wood WORKS!awards celebration. The awards recognize people and or-ganizations that, through design excellence and innova-tion, are advancing the use of wood in construction.

“Design professionals in Ontario are specifying woodin a wider variety of building types,” said MarianneBerube, Wood WORKS! Ontario’s Executive Director.“This is an exciting trend because the benefits of woodconstruction are so significant. Increased wood use sup-ports Ontario’s second largest economic engine and haspositive outcomes for forest dependent communitiesacross the province.”

“Globally, design solutions that incorporate sustainablysourced wood products help us reduce our CO2 emis-sions. Since wood products actually store carbon, whenwe use wood in place of non-renewable materials that re-quire large amounts of fossil fuels to produce, we greatlyreduce the carbon footprint of any building.”

“In addition to wood’s environmental advantages, newproducts and advancements in manufacturing have en-sured that today’s wood products are stronger, smarterand more versatile than ever. As a result, applications forwood products are almost unlimited and, through designinnovation, architects and engineers can create largerwood buildings of diverse occupancies that meet or ex-ceed the requirements for safety and performance. It isour privilege to celebrate some of the best of these build-ings each year through the Wood WORKS! Awards pro-gram.”

Working with the design community, Wood WORKS!connects practitioners with resources related to the useof wood in commercial, industrial and institutional con-struction, assists in product sourcing, and delivers educa-tional seminars and training opportunities.

“We are proud to honour people who, through theirwork with wood, enrich our built environment and lead theway for future excellence and innovation in wood designand building,” concluded Berube.

Green Building Wood DesignSponsored by OWL Distribution

Project: Christopher Children's Centre, Cambridge, ONArchitect: Lillepold Dowling Architects in association

with CS&P ArchitectsEngineer: Blackwell Bowick Partnership Ltd.

Sustainability and economic goals led to the incorpo-ration of wood as the primary structural element in afully-sprinklered building type, and allowed for a rapidand low-tech construction system utilizing a renewableresource harvested to FSC requirements. The projectwas designed toward LEED Silver and may attain LEEDGold. Large overhangs are cantilevered with LVL beamsproviding generous covered play areas, solar shading,and protection for the wood siding.

The High-Scope Curriculum used within the childcarecentre advocates a learning environment where childrenare in contact with natural materials, and wood provideda variety of colours, textures and species - from thesmooth face of White Maple panels and solid Black Wal-nut benches in corridors and classrooms to rough sawnsiding and battens at the exterior.

In addition to the building’s numerous sustainabilitystrategies, the daycare center has an extensive recyclingprogram which includes collection of organic waste. Fur-thermore, over 95% of generated construction wastewas sent to recycling facilities and diverted from landfill.Over 15% of all construction materials were producedfrom recycled content, and over 30% of constructionmaterials were produced regionally.

The energy efficiency features employed in the cen-tre result in energy use 45% below MNECB, eliminatingapproximately 40.5 tons of CO2 emissions annuallycompared to a similar building built to code.

Interior Wood DesignSponsored by Resolute Forest Products

Project: Salvation Army Harbour Light, Toronto, ONArchitect: Diamond and Schmitt ArchitectsEngineer: Read Jones Christoffersen Consulting Engineers

The Harbour Light is the flagship facility of the Salva-tion Army in the downtown core of Toronto. The seven-storey, 8,500 square meter building houses a communitychurch, transitional housing, a residential addictions re-covery program, and community & family services.

The north wing is a short-term residential addictionrecovery facility operated in conjunction with the Min-istry of Health Long Term Care that houses 48 single,double and triple dwelling rooms over six floors. Resi-dents are brought together as extended family groupsof 15 with their own counselor eventually graduating toone of the 98 transitional apartments located in thesouth wing of the building with continued access tocounselors as well as education, job training and em-ployment services. Maple floors and red oak millworkand cabinetry are used throughout the Harbour Light tocivilize the building's institutional qualities and bring asense of home to the apartments and clinic.

The community Chapel sits as an independent vol-ume to the north of the residence wings. It is clad inpolycarbonate panels backlit to produce a beacon of,light, emblematic of the centre's mandate as a place ofhope. They rise above the solid masonry base and cutback to reveal two crosses incised into the brick.

The Sanctuary of the church is the heart of the Har-bour Light. It is constructed entirely of wood at the inte-rior within the shell of exterior masonry andpolycarbonate. Red oak is used for the interior walls,with the lower portions in a solid pattern derived fromshingles for acoustic reflection. The upper walls andceiling are oak in acoustically transparent and absorptivepatterns. The floor is maple with wooden louvres.

Project: House in Frogs Hollow, Grey Highlands, ON Architect: Williamson Chong ArchitectsEngineer: Blackwell Bowick Partnership Ltd.

Commercial Wood Design Sponsored by Tembec

Project: MTO Patrol Yard, Sundridge, ON Architect: URS Architects & Engineers CanadaEngineer: URS Architects & Engineers Canada

The House in Frogs Hollow is a 2,000 SF country re-treat located on a long slope of the Niagara Escarpmentoverlooking Georgian Bay. The property is a collectionof eroded clay hills and protected watershed zones blan-keted with a dense field of hawthorn and native grasses.The clients are avid cyclists who spent months on theproperty prior to construction camping and cutting indiscreet biking trails. They wanted their house to be con-nected to this unique landscape. Aside from the naturalbeauty of the material, building in wood was importantfor a number of reasons. First and foremost was the de-sire to use the skills of local trades. By using local labourand modifying the structure and details to complementtheir skills, the house was built better and more eco-nomically. For example, the original stair had details thatwere a combination of drywall and wood. After discus-sions with the contractor about the high skill level of thecarpenters, “If we changed the design to be 100% woodand ended up with a more elegant and better built stair.”Wood was also pivotal in the CNC aspects of the proj-ect. It allowed great flexibility in types of fabrication (forboth solid and built up laminate construction tech-niques) and was lightweight and easy to mill, transport,and install.

The house is 2x6 wood frame with LVL and 2x10structural members. The floor and roof systems are2x10 wood joists and 9-1/2" TJI 110s.The siding of theupper volume is custom milled 2x8 (actual) pine boardsthat were CNC milled by the architect on a 3-axis routerwith a custom pattern that registers the shadows cre-ated by the sun as it moves around the house. The sid-ing is finished with Falun Red, an iron oxide pigment ina linseed oil base. This finish allowed the use of moreeconomical wood in this area because it impregnatesthe wood instead of floating on top. All eight sides ofeach piece were finished and then a final coat was ap-plied on the exterior after installation. The pigment willnot require reapplication for 15 years.

The lower volume is western red cedar siding in-stalled vertically and sealed clear to keep it bright. Inte-rior cabinets and stair paneling is birch veneer. The stairbalustrade and treads are solid birch. The curved interiorstair, designed and fabricated by the architect, is madeof custom CNC milled birch plywood profiles. The win-dows and interior trim are Douglas Fir.

This project is a 38,000 SF (3,541 SM) sand and salt storagebuilding. Wood was used exclusively in the sand and salt un-loading, storage and reloading portion of the building. Woodwas selected for its inherent resistance to corrosion, itsstrength, and the economical solution it offered for the total as-sembly. The combination of fire retardant treated lumber andplywood with the heavy timber glulam construction offered thenecessary fire performance required in this rural setting. Thisbuilding is a great example of the effective use of wood for tallwall construction in a large industrial building. It also showsthe range of structural wood products available which can con-tribute to the success of a project like this.

Products used include pre-fabricated wood trusses madefrom fire retardant treated lumber; 2x10, 2x12 and glulam wallstuds; ½” CSP plywood for roof diaphragm and shear walls;glulam beams, headers and columns (up to 14 2/8” x 72”); andpre-fabricated wall panels up to 52’ high.

Project: Lippincott Living, Toronto, ON Architect: Bradley Netkin ArchitectEngineer: Hamann Engineering

Lippincott Living is an 8-unit, 1,266 SM row housedevelopment in Toronto. Wood is an excellent materialfor low rise, multi-unit housing. It is used in many waysin Lippincott Living due to its aesthetic quality, versatility,economy, durability, renewability. The wood framing pro-vides function and the finishing materials enhance thewarmth and intimacy of both the interior and exteriorspaces.

Wood was used for framing, exterior cladding, deck-ing, landscaping, flooring and millwork. The framing wasprefabricated in a local factory. The overall cost to pur-sue a pre-fabricated option instead of conventional fram-ing methods was less than 10% of the framing cost andless than 1% of the building cost. Wall, floor and roofpanels were built in a shop and incorporate engineeredand recycled materials. This resulted in a better qualityproduct, and faster installation. Pre-fabrication also min-imized waste and materials. Panels were shipped to thesite and erected by crane in January of 2010.

The building was framed in 3 weeks which was crit-ical since the building needed to be complete by June2010 or the homes would be subject to HST. This wouldhave added over $70,000 to the purchase price of eachhome. The project was built and sold in 10 months. Thefence boards and siding are finished with factory paintand provided with an excellent warranty on durabilityand finish. This is an important factor for builders andcondominium owners. Interior finishes also incorporatewood.

The Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre in Kenorais a 6,500 SF tourist information and cultural centre fo-cused on the lake. The primary structural frame of thebuilding is glulam beams and local white pine treecolumns where exposed. All exterior and interior wallframing is wood stud. The mezzanine floor utilizes engi-neered wood joists with plywood subfloor. The roofdeck is 1-1 /2" T&G pine. All exterior walls are sheathedwith OSB.

Wood plays an important symbolic role for a commu-nity whose historic principal industry has been based onthe forest. Lake of the Woods is widely considered tobe one of the most beautiful freshwater lakes in theworld, and the exposed wood frame speaks to both thehistory and future of the community.

A remnant forest in the historic village of Brooklin, On-tario provides the setting and inspiration for this 48,000 SFdistrict Library and Community Centre. Each of the key pro-gram areas (library, community centre and gymnasium) arehoused in one of three linked structures whose rooflinesand simple forms recall the region's agrarian and industrialroots. A sophisticated approach to structural articulation,detailing and materiality transforms a regional inspirationinto a sharply articulated response to the design issues ofthe 21st century. Porches, breezeways and glazed links pro-vide common space and allow the three shed volumes toframe courtyards and views into the surrounding hardwoodforest. Each of the key program areas is accommodatedunder a pitched roof with exposed structure. To evokeagrarian structures and to provide a sense of warmth an in-timacy within this relatively large complex, wood was usedthroughout for the structural roof decking. Lightweightsteel cable trusses provide an economical, long span solu-tion and allow the wood to provide the primary materialcharacteristic of the large spaces.

Throughout the interior, wood is used extensively in thecreation of custom millwork counters which feature robustplanes of Oak butcher-block. Walls and ceiling feature oakslat acoustic panels and doors are all solid core wood withoak or maple veneer. Oak and maple are used for their dura-bility but also to provide an association with the hardwoodforest which is seen through expansive glazing.

The strategy of articulating the program as a series ofdiscrete elements allows the building to bridge the finegrained urban fabric of the village and its wooded site. Theplanimetric arrangement maximizes the enjoyment of thenaturalized setting and the penetration of daylight into thebuilding's program spaces. As a legacy to the Village ofBrooklin, the projects sets an example for a considered ap-proach to building siting and form that is highly responsiveto the natural and built heritage of the area. The resultingdesign achieves an intimacy of scale and a variety of spatialexperiences rarely achieved in a multi-use facility of its size.

The use of wood is an important part of this overall de-sign strategy, not only for its sustainability but also for itscultural and historical resonance. The combination of woodin a wide range of interior elements as well as the buildingstructure provides a strong connection to the building's nat-uralized site and its economic and cultural roots -The Brook-lin Sawmill on Lind Creek provided the economic engine ofthe community for early settlers. The continued integrationof local wood working trades and regional suppliers of tim-ber products into this significant public building carried animportant message to the local community while rooting itto its context.

This year, rather than recognizing a single firm for a bodyof work, we recognize an initiative undertaken coopera-tively by four Toronto-based engineering firms who are do-nating man-hours to rebuild schools in the rural Haitiancommunities most affected by the 2010 earthquake.

The Embouchure School is a plywood diaphragm onwood trusses with plywood gusset plates on load bearingwood shear walls. A built-up wood ring beam was used todistribute diaphragm loads to the shear walls below. Thesite is remote, and materials were carried 9km by hand intoa mountain valley and along a river. The school was con-structed by local skilled and unskilled labour. Wood waslight enough to make the journey and mistakes were easierto correct than any other material would have been.

The engineers working on this project are also traininglocal Haitian Engineers in Best Practices for Engineering.

Project: Opeongo Road House, Bancroft, ON Architect: Levitt Goodman Architects Ltd.

The principal concept behind the master plan of theproject is the Medicine Wheel, a powerful 350-metrewide circular mark on the land, capable of being seenfrom the airplane which is the main means of arrival forthe majority of the patients to the centre.

The circle of the Medicine Wheel gives the project aforceful compositional focus. At the centre of the circleis the Main Gathering Space, the primary access pointof the Hospital. Constructed entirely of heavy timber,tree-like columns support the timber beams and raftersof the octagonal wood roof structure, providing a warm,welcoming orientation device for patients and visitorsalike.

Further along a diagonal corridor, is the canoe shapedAmbulatory Lobby. Within this area, round timbercolumns support a system of timber trusses separatedfrom the surrounding flat roof by a clerestory that allowssunlight to comfort the waiting patients. The inpatientwing is surrounded by generous roof overhangs withregular timber clad supports which, together with a se-ries of landscaped courtyards, manage the natural lightpenetration and further reduce the institutional imageand scale of the facility. Timber structure canopies pro-tect and welcome the public at the main entrances tothe facility.

Wood use was maximized within the parameters es-tablished in the OBC for a building required to be of non-combustible construction. Products used include solidDouglas fir columns, beams rafters and heavy timberroof decking; solid Douglas fir exterior columns, beamsand rafters at canopies and roof overhangs; as well asfir veneer plywood cladding and solid clear cedar wallcladding.

Inspired by the wooden barns found in the surroundinglandscape, the form and finishes of this residence are as sim-ple and pure to the vernacular as possible and strong connec-tions to the landscape are made through large windowscarefully oriented toward the stunning surroundings.

The focus of this sustainable house was to build small, andto build a well-insulated high quality wood exterior envelope.The truss design provides ample space for insulation. Giventhat the residents may be absent for weeks at a time, thewood structure is designed to withstand significant snow ac-cumulation and the freeze/thaw phenomenon of spring. All as-pects of the exterior walls, doors, and roof were detailed towithstand harsh winters. Window and door opening sizes andorientation were carefully tuned to take full advantage of nat-ural ventilation and shading in summer and passive solar gainin winter. This allowed the house to be built without any me-chanical air conditioning. The project employed local materi-als trades wherever possible.

Notably, this is the firm's first completely drywall-freehouse. All of the walls and ceilings are completely clad in local6” pine boards whitewashed with a coat of thinned latex paintwhich allows the natural texture of the wood to telegraphthrough. The kitchen and bathroom millwork was all built onsite of solid birch with an oiled finish of natural linseed. Theinterior of the stair is fully clad in plywood but left natural inthis location and oiled for wear. By experimenting with themany ways in which wood can be finished, the house capturesa varied interior environment, all enhanced by the warm glowinherent to wood. Even the skylights in the roof have been en-cased with wood pine veneered plywood. They bring light andventilation to the sleeping loft and draw focused light downinto the stair. Using wood was central to the design. It is a re-newable and local material capable of referencing the barn ver-nacular while still creating a contemporary house.

Wood Champion AwardSponsored by Ministry of Northern Development Mines and Forestry

Wood Champion: Roger Sigouin, Mayor of Hearst, ON

Since the beginning of Wood WORKS! in Ontario, therehave been some very special champions who have con-sistently selected wood in projects, who have overcomeobjections to building with wood and who have lead theway for other communities to take up the challenge andactively support Ontario’s forest products industry, ourprovince’s second largest economic engine. Mayor RogerSigouin is one of those wood champions.

Nearly 10 years ago the town of Hearst was one of thefirst to pass a ‘Build with Wood Resolution’ and has sincebecome a model town in this regard, using wood in allpublic buildings. This required leadership and commit-ment. In one instance, Mayor Sigouin went as far to sendplans for a long-term care facility back to the architect tore-do when it wasn’t designed in wood. As a result, Pio-neer Nursing Home, Notre-Dame Hospital, the Town Halland Community Centre renovations, and the recent Her-itage Sawmill all incorporated wood.

Mayor Sigouin is a community leader known across theprovince and amongst his peers as an advocate for thesustainable use of forests. The new Hearst Regional GreenTechnologies Centre will make Hearst a model communityshowcasing new green energy technology and educationthat will support the future of Ontario’s forest industry.

$79.8 million project improvesenvironment after a decade’splanning and preparation

Saint John Hazen Creek Wastewater Treatment Project



After 10 years of planning and preparation, the city ofSaint John has a new and operational wastewater treat-ment facility, the Eastern (Hazen Creek) WastewaterTreatment Facility. Part of a larger wastewater strategy,the facility is the largest in the city and one part of a$79.8 million project, equally funded by federal, provin-cial and municipal sources, and includes 22 pumpingstations, collector sewers and necessary infrastructure.

CBCL Limited took on the challenge of designing andadministering construction of the challenging project.Pomerleau was the general contractor.

Sharon Stanford-Rutter, communications managerwith Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), thebody managing the $26.6 million federal grant money,says “the wastewater treatment strategy is part of alarger picture to clean up the harbor by redirectingwastewater emptying into it to a proper treatment facil-ity. The goal is to have zero raw sewage dumped intothe waterways.”

Brian Keenan, engineering manager, municipal oper-ations and engineering for the City of Saint John, saysthe city commissioned the wastewater strategy in 1993.

“At that time we were only treating about 40 per cent ofwastewater and the rest was discharged through out-falls into the harbor and river,” he said. “The City hired aconsultant who came up with a plan to intercept theseoutfalls and convey them for treatment.”

In the 1990s, the city upgraded treatment facilities onthe west and north ends to increase their capacity butKeenan said that still did not address the low capacity inthe east end, where the existing treatment facility couldnot be adequately upgraded to take on existing loads.“In 2001 the city hired a consultant to do a preliminarydesign to fix the problem and in 2005 they were en-gaged to do a detailed design, which was completed in2008. “The plan recommended a new facility be builtaround the existing so it could still be operational untilthe new site was ready to go online. It also called for 22pumping stations and collector sewers to intercept theraw sewage and redirect it for treatment. The detaileddesign was completed in 2008 and the same year thecity signed an agreement with Canada Strategic Infra-structure Funding and construction began by spring of2009.”

The facility has achieved substantial completion andopened with an official ribbon cutting ceremony. Currentlyoperating at about 5,000 cubic meters per day, Keenan saidthe facility will gradually increase its treated flow as morepumping stations are brought on line. “By the end of 2012the plant should be operating at full capacity and that givesus until March to finish funding paperwork.”

CBCL design team leader Kevin Murphy said CBCL pro-vided all the design services for the project, with the ex-ception of the geotechnical design. “We carried out theenvironmental permitting work for the city, which includedacting as liaison with regulatory agencies and public edu-cation,” he said.

Murphy says the city showed real leadership in advanc-ing the design work for this project before they had ob-tained funding from higher levels of government. “This wassomething that needed to be done and the city took the ini-tiative to start the process, without knowing how orthrough what means funding might be available.”

Irving Equipment provided crane rentals and the piledriving of 504 steel H piles covering 4,300 m. over 10 dif-ferent elevations, which would be used for buildings, clar-ifiers and tanks. Close communication between all partiesallowed for the work to be done in a single phase, ratherthan the three originally forecasted.

The plant is a conventional activated sludge treatmentplant with several unique features including a step feedconfiguration in the secondary treatment process, ammo-nia removal and a large source capture system with a biofil-ter ventilation designed to scrub the air in the plant.


Another unique feature of the project stems from whatMurphy calls a “fairly rigorous value engineering processto optimize design.”

“Aeration blowers are the largest energy user in the fa-cility,” he said. “The city opted to invest in very specializedenergy efficient machines. Although costly now they havean eight or nine year return on investment factor. It reallyshowed they were planning ahead and committing to long-term cost savings.”

The new facility also has a much-improved dischargesystem, using 1.2 km of outfall line buried beneath theocean floor of the Bay of Fundy, Keenan said. “The installa-tion of this required the digging of a trench, floating thepipe into position, filling it with water and anchoring it withconcrete weights, and then backfilling the trench. Wherethe old outfall used to go across the beach, the new dis-charge is well into the bay and away from land.”

The site had some special challenges, Murphy said.“The construction was carried out over a 26-month sched-ule because we had to deal with a number of site con-straints,” he said. “We were working on a site with anexisting treatment facility that needed to be kept opera-tional throughout construction. Only after we were sure thenew facility was ready were we able to shut down the oldplant and begin its demolition. Then there was the environ-mental sensitivity of the area directly beside us.”

Demolition Resources Inc. had responsibility for the en-vironmental clean up and demolition of the former treat-ment facility. “It was important to Demolition Resourcesand the overall management team that the principles of a3R deconstruction were implemented on this project,” proj-ect manager John Morrissey said. “The various buildingcomponents, whether structural steel, sheet metal, non-ferrous metals, brick, block or concrete materials, were ei-ther reused, recycled or, in the case of the inert concreteproducts, used as clean fill as part of the site reclamationand restoration process.”

Morrissey says “the management team at CBCL and Po-merleau were extremely organized and a pleasure to workwith and we congratulate them and the City of Saint Johnon achieving such a successful project .’’

Keenan says while the entire system is not up and run-ning yet, with just about half the pumping stations tenderedand under construction, but as the entire system is put inplace, people have and will continue to notice the improve-

ments. “There used to be 50 raw sewagedischarges throughout the city. Therewas one in particular, that on a warmsummer day, you could smell.”

Murphy says most people will see thebiggest change next summer when moreof the pumping stations come online.

Funding for the project results from ofa tri-level agreement between the city,province and federal governments. “Theprovince put $26.6 million into a trustfund which we could access as needed,”says Keenan. “The federal infrastructuremoney was allocated through a muchmore detailed process involving a man-agement committee comprised of mem-bers from the city, the government andthe funding managers.”

Keenan says the biggest hurdle forthe project was getting through the envi-ronmental approvals. “The site for the fa-cility is essentially the location of the former treatmentfacility, which sits directly adjacent to an environmentallysensitive wetland. We had to ensure we adhered to all theguidelines and that all the trades did as well.”

Keenan indicates project managers and officials com-municated progress to city council, communicated throughlocal papers and that every effort was made to ensure thepublic was up to date with progress. “There is a groupcalled Atlantic Coastal Action Program who were very in-terested and assisted the City early in getting this projectstarted. They were a great partner.”

Murphy says CBCL, Pomerleau Construction and the cityworked well together and that issues were resolved quickly,co-operatively and efficiently, resulting in a project comingin on time and within the budget. “This was a large projectover a long duration. There was a significant potential fordelays or budget problems, however, none of that hap-pened. Everything came together very well.”

Nith Valley Construction of New Hamburg’s foundationwas formed almost 60 years ago and has evolved over thedecades, but remains committed to core small town-busi-ness values.

“We do a lot of work for schools, churches and nursinghomes but we’ve also worked on just about every hospitalin the area at one time or another and do a lot of work withthe universities,” said Ron Roeder, a partner with Bob Zehrin the business serving central and southern Ontario mar-kets. Founded in 1952 as a primarily residential contractor,the business shifted its focus in 1979, to industrial, com-mercial and institutional projects.

The company’s central location near Kitchener-Waterloo

means company employees can be on site and in manyareas within an hour - the main reason they remain wherethey are - but the location also reflects the values they abideby. “People say we’re different than contractors you mightdeal with in some of the bigger cities,” said Zehr.

“Clients appreciate that we’re willing to work with them,not against them. We take a full team approach and if theyhave a problem, we’ll work with them to solve it. If there issomething we can do differently that will save them timeor money, we’ll do it.”

That kind of commitment has resulted in many long-termrelationships between Nith Valley and clients. “We do a lotof work with churches and because of the nature of what

their facilities are about, they have high expectations,”Roeder said. “When we get asked back, as we have withThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we knowwe’ve done right by them and for us, that’s high praise.”

That same sense of teamwork and looking out foreach other is something Nith Valley also applies to itstrades. “We try to pay trades within 30 days and we’vebeen known to pay our smaller guys quicker when weknow it would help them to have it faster. We try to beopen and fair with everyone we deal with.”

Nith Valley has several employees who have beenwith the company for 20 or more years and some havejust retired after spending their entire careers with NithValley.

Nith Valley is proud to have been involved with manyenvironmentally friendly projects. Some, like the FarmMutual Reinsurance Plan office and Kingsdale Commu-

nity Centre for the City of Kitchener, have achieved LEEDGold certification while others are built wisely with envi-ronmental considerations in mind without certification re-quirements.

“We ensure our staff is fully trained and up to date,”Zehr said. “Our safety record is exemplary and it is ourmandate to ensure safety and compliance at all times.Building construction in the future will be highly technicaland we want to ensure we are aware, capable and incompliance with these changes and advancements.”

Nith Valley has been recognized for their excellence inbuilding by being awarded “building excellence awards”from the Grand Valley Construction Association numer-ous times.

WIN-DOOR 2011, the annual FenestrationCanada trade show focusing on the suppliers tothe manufacturers of the window and door in-dustry, has proven its value for more than 16years through its combination of specialized ed-ucation and information exchange, networkingand marketing and business development op-portunities.

The show attracted more than 155 exhibitingcompanies in 350 booths to the Metro TorontoConvention Centre in November, says showmanager Patrick Shield. “We’ll get around 2,600to 3,000 people, visitors and exhibitors com-bined.”

The absolute number of visitors to this showis far less important than their quality, says Fen-estration Canada show chair Matt Kottke, mar-keting support manager at Truth Hardware in

Owatonna, Minnesota. The show is one of twoevents in North America – the other is GlassBuildin the U.S., which focus on the specific interestsof window and door manufacturers, rather thanretailers and installers.

“Other shows might attract 5,000 to10,000people, but they couldn’t buy from our ex-hibitors. Instead, WIN-DOOR attracts 1,800 -2,000 very qualified buyers.”

Fenestration Canada, formerly the CanadianWindow and Door Manufacturers Association(CWDMA) sponsors the event in conjunctionwith its annual meeting, and helps to co-ordinateeducational programs to deal with issues suchas new technologies, building code and environ-mental requirements. “The show is an excellentchance to see what’s new in terms of productsand services to the industry, says FenestrationCanada executive director Richard Lipman. “It isreally a one-stop shopping opportunity.”

Shield says that because the show focuses on qualityrather than quantity, visitors enjoy perks such as free food,convenient parking and other extras. Although headquar-tered in the U.S., Kottke says the Canadian market is impor-tant to his company’s business and has been a relativelyhealthy market in light of the American and European marketsof the past two years. Toronto is an ideal location for theshow because the largest percentage of Canadian windowand door manufacturers are in the GTA.

The show “features the machinery, hardware, systems,sealants, testing and technology that will drive the market inthe months ahead,” Lipman says in a note on the Fenestra-tion Canada website. “It’s a great place to talk face-to-facewith suppliers, see the latest products and connect with theentire window and door industry across Canada. It is yourtrue “one-stop shopping” opportunity of the year.” The com-prehensive line-up of educational seminars and live demon-strations includes the “Economic Power Hour”, an economicforecast from the Altus Group, and such seminars as “AskThe Inspectors: Forum on Code Changes”, “Glass Perform-ance and Energy Efficiency: The Straight Talk”, and “NewCode Changes: A Focus on Exterior Doors.”

Fenzi general manager David Devenish says the Win-Door North America show has been a positive experi-ence and a great opportunity to show Fenzi’s Canadianpresence and learn what the industry is really seeking.“People were talking about making their own insulatedglass; others were shopping for raw materials; and oth-ers were just interested in changing their systems.”

Devenish says energy efficient windows and thegrowing trend for energy ratings and gas retention arebecoming more important for the industry. “Five yearsago there were no requirements for this,” he said. “Nowthere are requirements for the initial concentration andan after cycling requirement. Once new changes are putinto place in 2012, Fenzi will be in an enhanced marketposition because the systems we use already supportand meet those requirements.”

Bird-Stairs serves masonry contractors in Atlantic Canadaas supplier Blok-Lok Ltd. celebrates its 50th anniversary

By Heather Seftel-KirkCaDCR Special Feature

The masonry industry is strong and vital in AtlanticCanada, supported by Blok-Lok Ltd. A premier supplier tothe masonry industry in Canada and North America, Blok-Lok celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and continuesto expand its family of companies, and the products it offersthe industry.

General manager Basil Fazio says the company startedout in 1961 as a supplier of masonry wire reinforcing, thenbranched to anchors, ties and accessories and broadenedits longer-term focus to anything masonry related.

“We recently added a new company to our family andnow offer masonry cleaning materials as well,” Fazio says.“Blok-Lok Ltd., a Hohmann and Barnard company, is cer-

tainly a part of a well-rounded group and I would say, a forcein the industry.” Blok-Lok is based in Woodbridge, Ontario.

The company appreciates and relies on its strong distrib-utor relationships. “Bird-Stairs is one of our main distribu-tors,” he said. “They command most of the market (inAtlantic Canada); are strong, well-respected and well situ-ated. They are great to have as clients and as allies.”

Fazio says his company’s sales are up 30 per cent in theU.S., and are strong in Canada, due largely to an increase inthe sale of restoration products. “We have 25 years of ex-perience in restoration-related products and our sales showwe have both the products and the expertise to support thisgrowing aspect of the industry.”


www.birdstairs.cawww.blok-lok.com


Bird-Stairs division manager Matt Brunt agrees thatrestoration and renovation is important will become evenmore significant. “Atlantic Canada has a lot of developmenton the books for the future and much of that involves olderstructures,” he said. “As things move forward, restorationskills, tools and products geared in that direction are goingto become more of a focus. Blok-Lok is the core of our ma-sonry line and they are well-equipped to support the futureof the industry in that direction.”

Based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Bird-Stairs alsohas divisions in Saint John, Moncton, Dartmouth, Halifaxand St. John’s, providing extensive coverage throughout At-lantic Canada.

Blok-Lok leads the industry in North America with Spira-Lok and Torq-Lok anchors and has seen a high demand forspecialty stone anchoring products, but the company’s re-searchers and innovators don’t stop there. “We continue todevelop new products and new solutions.,” said Fazio.“People often come to us with unique situations and ask fora solution. When we develop something that will work forthem, we are also developing a new product to bring to themarket.”

Blok-Lok supports industry associations and actively par-ticipates in developing industry standards and resources.“We’re involved with many associations and I personally siton the CSA board looking at the new standards to come

forward in 2014,” Fazio says. “The associations do somuch, leaps and bounds really, in promoting masonry edu-cation and bringing young people into the field.”

He commends the Canadian Masonry Construction As-sociation (CMCA) for their new software to encourage de-sign build projects with masonry in mind and the CanadianConcrete Masonry Producers Association (CCMPA) for theirsponsorship of university studies aimed at elevating thefield of masonry. “These associations do so much to elevatethe awareness of and skill of masonry and we believe it isimportant to give back and to support them.”

Brunt says Bird-Stairs supports groups such as the Ma-sonry Industry Association of Atlantic Canada. “Our com-pany feels strongly that it is important to support(associations) in their efforts and to help develop those mar-kets,” he says. “We see the importance of training and in-volving young people in these trades and are pleased tooffer our expertise where it can benefit these associations.”

With dedicated staff for masonry-industry customerservice, Brunt says his company has seen in increase insales in masonry-related products over the past few yearsand he hopes this is an indicator for the industry as a whole.

Hull says this year saw some wonderfully creativeprojects as far as design and construction, including ahigher awareness of the importance of sustainability andgreater recognition of concrete’s performance abilitiesand architectural features and benefits. “I don’t think youcan look at this awards program and its projects and notbe inspired,” he said. “Society gets excited about newand different ideas and approaches and it is no differenthere. It is a wonderful venue to see what your peers aredoing and how it is measured by society – the realusers.”

Hull offers thanks to all the supporters and sponsorsof the Ontario Concrete Awards. “It takes time and ded-ication to put this program on. The largest trend spottingidentifies sustainability and creativity of concrete’s abili-ties as key factors. Architects and designers are begin-ning to better understand how to identify needs anddesign and construct, and are learning about more of theattributes and pure sustainable benefits of concrete.”

McCabe, who clearly has a passion for promotingconcrete, says this year’s awards highlighted con-crete’s flexibility and innovative use. “Architects havesuch great vision and concrete is able to support andinspire those visions,” he says. “These projects showconcrete taking its place as one of the more user-friendly products in the industry and over the comingyears we’ll see that even more and people begin totake advantage of the sustainable features inherent inconcrete.”

Serving Haldimand, Hamilton, Halton and Niagara, Lan-caster Heating and Cooling is a long-standing Carrier-dealeroffering residential heating, cooling and indoor air qualityservices.

Residential manager Richard Koning says the family-owned businesses cares about the little extras and attentionto detail. “We offer our clients better quality product and bet-ter installation, as well as 24 hour service,” he said. “Insteadof using subcontractors we have our own staff do the instal-lation and, since they are also the same people who will laterservice the equipment, they have a vested interest in doingthe job well and right the first time.”

Koning says, as a general rule, installations completed byLancaster end up replacing more sheet metal than atypical installation and involve more work than mostfor the price the client pays. “When we do an installa-tion we change everything from the ceiling down. Inmost cases we end up enlarging the return air duct,which is typically too small, and results in higher effi-ciency for the client. This kind of detailing is standardpractice for all of our installers, not a fee-added serv-ice.”

Lancaster works on custom homes and retrofits ex-isting homes. “About 99 per cent of what we do in-volves government rebates for upgrading,” he says.“We help clients decide on the right product to suittheir needs and meet the rebate requirements.”

Besides heating and cooling systems, Lancasteralso installs water heaters, runs gas lines for stove andbbqs and offers maintenance plans for furnaces andair conditioning units with 24/7 live call answering.

“Servicing of your home equipment is important. Especiallyat this time of year you want to ensure your system is work-ing properly and that there are no carbon monoxide issues.”

Koning says in their ever-changing industry, Lancaster rec-ognizes it is important to stay abreast of changes and to up-grade their staff’s knowledge of products and processesevery step of the way. “We are constantly upgrading and en-suring our staff has the most up-to-date training. We have asafety officer on staff to ensure we are following all proto-cols and adhering to safety standards. We are members ofall local associations, both to be part of our community andto stay current with the industry.”

Some of the new technologies Koning says to watch forare thermostats telling you when service is required and theability to go online to dial into your home system, both to ad-just temperatures and monitor your home while you’re away,but also to receive email updates if something does gowrong.
