Kate Ames is the Owner and Operator of Baller Foods. Chef Kate grew up foraging, fishing, and camping in Terrace, British Columbia. From a young age, she was drawn more to the arts than the sciences. In high school, she took “easy” academic classes like English and French correspondence during the summer to free up her schedule for the subjects she loved most—foods, choir, band, art, yearbook, and theatre.Kate began cooking at a young age after moving out and getting married at just 18. Her culinary journey started with a dishwasher job at a fishing lodge and evolved through roles at KFC, Pizza Hut, Denny's, and Mr. Mikes. By the age of 20, she was managing both a Subway and a hotel pub.At 23, Kate moved to Vancouver to study graphic design and marketing at Emily Carr University and BCIT. She went on to freelance for over 15 years with her former business, Ames Design Studio, and held marketing and graphic design positions at the PG Free Press and the Northern Health Authority.When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Kate experienced major life upheavals, including the loss of childcare, employment, her design business, and her late partner. With resilience and passion, she pivoted toward her lifelong dream of owning a food truck. Leveraging her background in marketing and design, she launched Baller Food, a business born of both creativity and necessity.Kate began by making meatballs in the kitchen of Birch and Boar, where she found mentorship and support from chef and owner William Miller. Using guerrilla marketing tactics, she sold meatballs on the streets of downtown Prince George and gradually built a following. Over two years, she vended at community events, music festivals, weddings, and schools, eventually expanding into a full-fledged food truck operation.Since then, it's been “balls to the wall.” From May to October, Kate focuses on contract events, travels to northern B.C. music festivals—including Valhalla and Riverboat Days in Terrace, Midsummer in Smithers, ArtsWells near Quesnel, and Robson Valley Music Festival in Dunster—and serves outlying communities such as Quesnel, Vanderhoof, and Mackenzie. She also continues to grow retail sales, with products now available at PG Urban Shroomery and soon at Blackwood Gifts.To improve visibility, Kate has partnered with CO-OP and Superstore and has a regular setup at the Chevron Cardlock in the BCR site. She posts her monthly event schedule and weekly updates on Facebook and Instagram, encouraging followers to set alerts so they never miss where she'll be parked.In the off-season (October to May), Baller Food shifts its focus to hot lunch programs at local schools, event catering, and hot-and-ready meals. This fall, Kate will also launch cooking classes for kids at the South Fort George Family Resource Centre, continuing her mission to nourish and inspire the community through food.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with BCIT Centre for Welding Technologies and Metallurgy director Mathew Smith about “cobots,” robots designed to work collaboratively with students and workers in industrial environments. Smith said cobots differ from traditional industrial robots in size, function and cost and because of the use of sensors can maneuver around human operators, making them much more flexible in a learning environment. Cobots do not replace human skills, he added, as they follow preprogrammed instructions, and BCIT students are taught manual dexterity skills that remain fundamental to the welding trade. Cobots enhance work, Smith said, and alleviate tradespeople and students of rote tasks to focus on more complex work.  You can listen to our recent podcast with  ConstructConnect chief economist Michael Guckes here and our episodes are available at the Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce websites, on Libsyn and at  Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Amazon Music's podcast section.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast™, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Dr. Guido Wimmers, the new dean of the British Columbia Institute of Technology's School of Construction and the Environment. Wimmers talks about his initial impressions as he takes on his new role and his previous work both at the University of Northern British Columbia and in Europe, as well as his focus on wood design and sustainability.

She also highlighted a recent talk at the Canadian Institute of Steel's Construction's conference in Toronto about prompt payment from Soloway Wright LLP partner Dan Leduc where he said that while there's a “scissor lift” for prompt payment, industry is still sticking to old habits or as he said is “still using a wooden ladder.” Lindsey also highlighted our Demolition feature, including an article from John Bleasby about the circumstances in which decommission, deconstruction and demolition should be implemented.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey discusses the federal government's clean energy tax credit initiative and attached labour conditions through interviews with both Progressive Contractors Association of Canada (PCAC) president Paul de Jong and Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) president Bea Bruske.   De Jong pointed to the hiring requirements as an impediment to competitive work on clean energy projects while stressing PCAC and other industry associations fully support skilled tradespeople getting high wages and benefits for the work they perform. Bruske stressed the importance of the transition to a clean energy economy but added workers should benefit from these changes and that the CLC fully supports the federal government's “strings attached” approach. In Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce headlines, Richard Lyall, the president of the Residential Construction Council of Ontario, says the federal government's announcement that GST will be removed on construction of new rental apartment buildings as “a positive step in the right direction.” The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada has announced it will commemorate the 2023 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with a two-part webinar series during the week of Sept. 25 to 29.

In our episode Fly Right: How do We Make Flight More Sustainable? Bianca – who has struggled with a lifetime fear of flying – speaks with Nathan Zvi, self-described “recovering aerospace engineer” and host of The Net Zero Life podcast.

Building Climate Resilient Communities We're already living with the devastating impact of climate change. Wildfires, torrential rain, and heat domes in British Columbia have caused billions of dollars in damage in just the last couple of years. But British Columbians aren't going down without a fight. Cities are setting a new standard for climate resilient housing. Vancouver has promised to become the “greenest place on the planet,” partly by passing a new building code that says every new home must be a passive home. In conversation with BCIT's Alexandre Hebert, host Bianca Rego finds out what a passive home is and how it can help cut green house gas emissions. And she gets a first-hand look at the passive home that Mike Cairns built for his family in Langley, B.C.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How Gen Z is Redefining Real Estate Ziggy and Kate Linklater are both 27 years old and they've just achieved the impossible dream — owning their own home in one of the world's most expensive cities.

How do you create a culture that is open and transparent, inclusive and empowering, trusting and accepting and still hit the target? If you as a leader want to “win”, you have to win in two ways. You have to win in the business and you have to win the hearts and minds of your people. To do this, you have to care.

That's leadership.In this episode, Dan Pontefract and I break down the lessons he shared in his new book, "Lead, Care, Win" and take a deep dive into how to create great cultures and great teams.
