BUSINESS BRIEFS

AWARD FINALIST

A VANCOUVER architectural
firm has placed as a finalist in the
Awerd of Excellence 1991 Design
Competition held by the Interior
Design Institute of B.C.

Mineo Tanaka Architect of the
Colborne Architectural Group
placed as a finalist in the Institue
tional/Healih Care category for
its BCIT Childcare Centre entry.

North Vancouver resident Dalia
Gottlieb-Tanaka, an associate of
the company, said the BCIT
Childcare Centre in Burnaby is a
new facility for 25 children be-

_tween the ages of three and five
and will also act as a training cen-
tre for both BCIT and Douglas
College.

‘*We are pleased to see that the
centre is considered a fine example
for a daycare and is attracting at-
tention from the child care service
industry,’ said Gottlieb-Tanaka.
**The daycare issue is an extremely

important subject and, as parents
ourselves with one child in a
daycare centre, we are pleased to
see the recent developments re-
garding child care.”

The project was initiated by the
BCIT Student Association and
was partially funded by GO B.C.

“Due to the high calibre of en-
tries in each category, the judging
of this competition was a difficult
task and all finalists should be ex-
tremely proud of their achieve-
ment,'’ said Allan Galajda, design
awards chairman.

The winners will be announced
on Feb. 8, 1992.

BUSINESS WRITING

CAPILANO COLLEGE will of-
fer a business writing course aim-
ed at producing effective reports,
memorandums and letters, which
can be crucial to success in to-
day’s information economy.

Communications 152) (CMNS
152) will show students how to
write well-organized and_ clearly
written documents and save time
by doing it. The course also offers
students a chance to brush up on
English skills with a lively, prac-
tical review of style, grammar,
spelling and punctuation.

“The course is required for
business-management career pro-
grams,”’ said instructor Crawford
Kilian. ‘‘So if you’re planning to
enrol in a program later, you'll
have the communications re-
quirements already achieved.”’

He added that the course is also
required for the CGA certificate.

CMNS 152 covers such topics as
effective business style, organiza-
tion of reports, fetters, memos,
correct English usage and the
“nuts and bolts’? of spelling,
grammar and punctuation.

**Most people are better writers
than they think,”’ said Kilian.
“But if they can write more clear-
ly and concisely, they can com-
municate more effectively on the
job.”

The course takes place Tuesday
nights from 6:30 to 9:30 and stu-
dents can register during the first
two weeks of January. For more
information, call Kilian at 986-
1911, local 2585.

TERMINAL EXPANSION

THE VANCOUVER Port Corp.
(VPC) has awarded North Van-
couver-based Dilcon Constructors
Ltd. a $5.8 million contract to
improve and expand its Centerm
container terminal.

Plans call for Dilcon to build a
72-metre (235-foot) westward ex-
tension of the Centerm dock. The
extension project precedes the in-
stallation of an additona! con-
tainer crane, the fourth for
Centerm, scheduled to be in
operation in the early spring of
1993.

VPC chief executive officer and
port manager Capt. Norman Stark
said the Centerm upgrade ‘‘will
send another signal io our cus-
tomers across the continent and
around the world that we are

committed to ongoing improve-
ments to capacity and container
handling efficiency in the Port of
Vaneouver.”"

The terminal upgrade will allow
Centerm to service two post-
Panamax sized vessels at the same
time. The expansion project will
also create two acres of storage
space for containers.

The total project, including the
crane purchase and dock exten-
sion, is valued in excess of $12
million.

The dock extension project is
expected to be complete in July
1992. To date, the port’s con-
tainer tonnages are running 21%
ahead of last year’s totals.
