Mayors’ Walk raises $84,028

NV firm

gets funds

from feds

ASSOCIATE DEFENCE Minister and MP for Capilano-Howe Sound, Mary Collins, recently an- nounced that North Vancouver's Pacific Levitation System Inc. will receive a $122,000 repayable con- tribution from the Western Diver- sification Fund.

The federal contribution will be used to design, construct and test a prototype of a high performance turbine flowmeter using magnetic bearing technology. Total costs of the project are estimated at $224,000.

Collins said accurate flow measurement is of primary impor- tance to the oil, gas, chemical, and pulp and paper industries.

“The proposed flowmeter wil! be more accurate over a wider range of volumes than conven- tional meters because the turbine rotor will be suspended against gravity by magnetic fields,’ said Collins. “This should make the product very attractive to pipeline companies."’

A mechanical bearing turbine flowmeter will be purchased and retrofitted with magnetic bearings which eliminate metal-to-metal contact and normal bearing fric- tion.

Once fabricated, the prototype will be calibrated and tested in the Novacorp International laboratory in Calgary.

Upon successful completion of the prototype, the company plans to establish a manufacturing operation in North Vancouver, and market the new product in Canada and internationally through agents and distributors.

The Western Diversification Fund was established to assist in the diversification of the western Canadian economy by encouraging new products, new markets, new technology, improved productivity and import replacements.

INTEGRITY

THE SECOND Annual Mayors’ Walk For Africa, held June 11, raised a total of $84,028 for relief and development projects in Africa.

While the total number of walkers’ was down considerably from last year’s turnout, the amount of the average donation was up. A highlight of the walk was the participation of 63 Cana-

dian mayors who were in town to take part in the Federation of Ca- nadian Municipalities conference.

Funds raised by the walk wil! be matched on an individual project basis through the CIDA non- governmental matching program.

Said walk committee chaizman Art Perret: ‘“Conceivably, with the CIDA match, the funds we raised at the Mayors’ Walk will increase to $300,000 for Africa.”’
