"BC Hydro's John Hart Dam Upgrades" |
| Details: |
Steve Watson, BC Hydro spokesperson, will be giving a presentation on the John Hart generating station replacement project.
The John Hart station is a 65-year-old, six-unit, 121-megawatt generating facility that produces 778 gigawatt hours of electricity per year. BC Hydro wants to replace its six turbines with three new 46-megawatt units that will produce 835 gigawatt hours per year, enough electricity for 80,000 homes. The project is also intended to address seismic risks to the aging facility and includes other major upgrades.
The project is anticipated to cost $1.35 billion. The estimated completion date is 2016-2017.

Re: HOLE SPONSORS
First, let me say THANK YOU to all of you who have been kind enough to be a hole sponsor for our APEGBC Golf Tournament in past years and also to this year's sponsors.
Once again we are asking for your sponsorship and participation for this year’s tournament which will take place at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club on June 1, 2012. For any new companies receiving this request, we hope you will join us by sponsoring a hole and being part of this great tournament. In past years our sponsors have included Suppliers, Contractors and Consultants.
It will be a Texas Scramble Format so those of you who are not of professional calibre need not worry – you won’t be alone! We are there to socialize, have fun and enjoy the day.
This tournament is open to all APEGBC members, spouses and sponsors. Any profit made from this event will go towards KidSport Cowichan, which helps families without the economic means to register or provide equipment for their kids to play sports.
Sponsorship Instructions: If you are able to sponsor a hole ($125.00), please register online below or make your cheque payable to “APEGBC – Vancouver Island Branch” and forward to the addressees below.

The Vancouver Island Branch needs fresh blood and new ideas, especially from EITs and GITs. If you are interested in becoming involved, even in a limited manner, in Branch affairs, please contact any member of the Branch Executive.
Don't forget to return to this Vancouver Island Branch Web page for updates of the above info and other information you might be interested in.
Library Resource Materials
The Tetra Society in Nanaimo would like to make the public aware that it exists and is able to help disabled people. Tetra is a none profit organization with a purpose to recruit skilled volunteers to create assistive devices for people with disabilities. Tetra recognizes that people are not handicapped by their disabilities but by obstacles or barriers in their living environment. Volunteer engineers, design technicians and health professionals work one to one with people with disabilities to make assistive aids or modifications to their environment so that greater independence can be achieved.
The Volunteers donate their time and the only cost to the client is the material. In the event a client can not afford the materials, there is also funding available. The Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra also welcomes outside funding support to assist those clients who are in need of funding.
Please pass this information on to anyone on Vancouver Island you might think can use the services of Tetra. Your voice will help Tetra in spreading the word on its services and in turn may improve an individuals independence. The Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra is also looking to identify Volunteers for current and future projects. To contact the Nanaimo Chapter of Tetra, please contact: Jim Pickell or at 250-756-2422, Check Tetra out on the web at www.reachdisability.org/tetra
If you are a new member who has recently or is about to receive your certificate, please contact our Branch Chair for a frame, and to arrange a certificate presentation at an upcoming dinner meeting.
