  • Since 2014, Alberta Unemployment Rate Increases While Texas Rate Drops – Lessons From The Lonestar State – Fraser Institute

    While both Alberta and Texas were hit hard by the oil-price drop in 2014, the Texas unemployment rate has dropped while the Alberta rate has risen, finds a new study released by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

    “Some people in Alberta continue to blame the province’s comparatively high unemployment rate on the 2014 oil downturn, but Texas dealt with similar price drops and has done a much better job creating an environment where workers can prosper,” said Steve Lafleur, senior policy analyst at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Lessons from the Lonestar State: Comparing the economic performance of Alberta and Texas.

  • Construction Begins On Library And Archives Canada’s New Preservation Facility

    Library and Archives Canada began construction on its new 12,900-square metre preservation facility in Gatineau. The addition of this new building, which will be linked to the existing state-of-the-art Preservation Centre, will allow LAC to consolidate an ever-growing collection and guarantee the long-term preservation of analogue textual holdings and audiovisual materials, which require very special preservation conditions.

    The facility also will be the first net-zero carbon centre dedicated to archival preservation in the Americas when it goes into operation by summer 2022.

    At the ground-breaking ceremony on August 12, 2019, Dr. Guy Berthiaume, Librarian and Archivist of Canada, called it a great day for the continued preservation of Canada’s cherished and invaluable documentary heritage.

  • Volvo CE Masters Construction's Toughest Challenge

    Over the course of three years and many challenges of nerve and knowledge, more than 3,200 technicians from across the globe are whittled down to a team of just three victors. As a test of grit, stamina and teamwork, there is nothing else that compares to Volvo CE’s Masters Competition.

    The competition has grown to more than 3,500 entrants.

    The Masters Competition was launched as a novel way to showcase the talents of the many parts and services technicians working across Volvo Construction Equipment’s (Volvo CE) dedicated dealer network. When it began in 1990 individual participants were pitted against each other and tasked with completing a series of machine tests. Fast forward almost 30 years and the contest – now judged in teams – has grown into the industry’s biggest and most challenging technician battleground. A testament to its heritage is that the children of original competitors are now competing themselves, with one former winner’s daughter making it through to this year’s final in March.

    Hans-Juergen Salau, Global Manager Technical Training at Volvo CE, who organizes the competition together with Jan Fogelberg, Manager Technical Training, says: “Not only does the contest identify the best of the best, but it also boosts the reputation of hard-working dealers everywhere and shows just how much skill is needed to deliver a world-class service to our customers.”
