cluding her work with the Greater Toronto Electrical

ment head of Human Resources as well as being re-

Jack Ball and Dave Butler, the Chief Building
Inspector for the Municipality of the Village of
Lions Bay.
Dave used a power point slide presentation to provide a
very interesting overview of the new NBCC requirements
for rain screening. Dave noted Vancouver and the Lower
Mainland as a whole has one of the heaviest annual rain-
fall levels in the world and it is essential that everyone
involved with construction pay attention to maintaining
the integrity of the exterior building envelope. Dave used
several slides to illustrate the correct methods for install-
ing electrical boxes and fittings in outside walls. He noted
although we are struggling with the new requirements, in
the end we will come up with better solutions and hope-
fully eliminate the leaky condo problem.

T o begin with I would like to thank one and all that attended the last AGM dinner for re-electing me the president of our as-sociation. It is an honour to represent
such a great group of professionals. I would also like to thank the former executive, of which I have worked with throughout the past year for all the work and volunteer hours they put in to keep our association running smoothly. Having said that, I am looking forward to working with the newly elected executive, the majority of which were part of the past executive. The executive committee is also our code seminar organizing committee. The seminar was started to be organized by the past executive and is of course continuing to be organ-ized by our present executive. In the message, I would like to give a special thanks to Rick Porcina who has done a fantastic job of drafting our seminar brochure and the
2009 Code Changes Booklet that will be given out at the seminar. Another person that deserves honourable men-tion is Shaun Hollingsworth. He was responsible for arranging for us to use the TELUS Boot now known as the Brian Canfield Center for Excel-lence for our seminar, along with all the other ar-rangements required for use to use the building. There will be many more people to thank as we get closer to the seminar and then afterwards as well. Unfortunately I will be
