Welcome to the Spring 2011 issue of the Canadian Design and Construction Report.
This issue features an interview with Dave Paul, chair of the Economic Development Association of Canada. Paul provides insights on how contractors, developers and community leaders can work with local economic development officers to make things happen. We’ve also expanded our alliance with MERX/McGraw-Hill Construc- tion Dodge to allow print edition subscribers of the Canadian Design and Construction Report a special 10 per cent discount on its private construction leads service – an incredibly inexpensive and effective source of business opportunities anywhere in Canada (and you can customize your reports and save money by focusing on the data you really need. While of course you are free to read the online edition of this magazine without charge, the printed version – on glossy paper – has real advantages for many situations where you cannot access an online reader or wish to actually hold the publication in your hands. You can request a subscription by clicking on the “How to Subscribe” tab at
cadcr.com. You’ll also read in this issue several features about construction projects and initiatives in various regions of the country. If you have a project you would like to see profiled in upcoming issues, please feel free to email Angela Chow at
achow@cnrgp.com or Chase at
chase@cnrgp.com. With supplier-support advertising (no one is pressured to participate), the feature does not cost you anything to be published. Watch for further improvements and enhancements in the next issue, to be published in May.
In the meantime, please feel free to email me with your questions and comments and you are also most welcome to read my daily blog at
