Great Place to Work

October 31st, 2005
Just read an article in 24 hours that lists the top 100 employers in Canada. Over a dozen of them are here in the lower mainland. It mentions that there is a trend towards innovative workplace practices such as time off for elder care, retiree benefits and salary top up for compassionate leave.  Also, it was noted that there is a strong connection between an employer's charitable work and ho ...

Busy Weekend

October 17th, 2005
Friday night, I attended the Picasso opening at the Vancouver Art Gallery. It was great to see all the people out. Sometimes I wasn't sure to look at the art on the walls or at all the different outfits people were wearing. A lot of people were wearing local designer's wear. Going to the show made me think of the new Electric Avenue complex. What a perfect place to have an after the gallery p ...

Stella - Just Launched

October 14th, 2005
I was at the launch of the new Stella building at 12th and Kingsway in the funky Main & Broadway area. I was very impressed with the finishings and the size of the units.
