3 Chairman s Report Jereme MacKinnon, AScT Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd. Nanaimo, B.C. I would like to begin by saying how excited I am to have been elected to serve as the CSC Vancouver Island Chapter Chair. Thank You to Terry Bergen who not only served as the first Chapter Chair, but was the driving force behind the establishment of the new chapter. Terry is now acting as the Director for the VAI chapter. With 15 chapters across Canada, membership exceeds 1700 nationally. Our chapter membership is currently at 22 and growing. With the first year in the books, the future is looking great. The inaugural year saw the sharing of information and provided networking opportunities. It also paved the way for many new and exciting events. The VAI Chapter also hosted it s first in-class education opportunity with the Principles of Construction Documentation. Congratulations go out to all of the successful graduates from that program. The next PCD course is starting September 21st, see attached registration form for more information. More education opportunities will be available and we will keep you informed. We are very excited to announce that we are hosting our first mini-trade show on November, 23rd at the Harbour Towers Hotel and we hope to see you there.

5 Education in CSC CSC pursues the development of systems and procedures which will improve the coordination and dissemination of information relevant to the construction process. In addition to the development of industry related publications, CSC seeks to enhance the quality of the design and management aspects of construction activity. The enhancement is by way of education and professional development and certification programs, believing that by so doing CSC can best contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the industry as a whole.

CSC courses are open to all individuals in the construction industry. The PCD course is available as an on-line course as well. Classroom instruction is offered by local chapters.
