Engineering regulators sign National Statement of Collaboration. On May 23, all engineering regulators in Canada signed a National Statement of Collaboration with Engineers Canada. The Statement reflects the 12 Canadian regulators’ renewed commitment to work together to address national and international barriers to mobility for engineers and engineering entities, to further advance public safety, and to increase regulatory efficiency.
Maps warn of disaster near North Vancouver town site. On a patch of North Shore waterfront, spotlighted as one of the most hazard-prone pieces of land in Metro Vancouver, the District of North Vancouver plans to build more than 1,000 residential units; it’s also where the chemical company Chemtrade Logistics Inc. is pushing to extend the life of a potentially risky chlorine gas plant. These plans are in direct contrast to the analysis of the danger-prone area as somewhere to avoid for critical infrastructure, or high-density residential or commercial zoning.
