This week on the Construction Record podcast digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Clever Samurai president and CEO Stuart Lewis about how the construction industry can better market itself to address labour concerns. Lewis said it's critical for both industry and the various levels of government to generate more interest in the trades, and that at the micro level people are reevaluating their work lives due to the pandemic and other societal changes which may give construction an avenue by which to market their appeal. He added construction is an ideal field for those looking to run their own business, which is a long- established path within the industry and that it can be an excellent opportunity for people from “non-traditional” demographics looking to enter the construction workforce. He stressed however firms should go to those communities to communicate with them and tailor marketing to their needs and interests.

Li and Darda explained during the interview how the multi-residential building allows for charged vehicles to help power the building, meaning it relies less on the grid and more on locally sourced energy. The blockchain allows the system to credit those who are contributing the most energy to the building systems as well as participating in increasing the building's sustainability.

There's been no shortage of hype. Now, after years of headlines heralding it as a transformative technology, an evolution in wireless service, even a “game changer for humanity,” 5G is finally being rolled out across Canada by the big three telecom providers. But are we ready to make the most of it? And what does 5G's arrival really mean for consumers and businesses? The possibilities are legitimately exciting.On this episode of Disruptors, an RBC podcast, host John Stackhouse examines the true potential of this next-generation of wireless networks, as well as the apps and devices they will enable, with the help of the President of Bell Mobility, Claire Gillies. Together, they tackle the full spectrum of questions surrounding 5G, including why it's really more of a “revolution” than an evolution, and how it will transform everything from healthcare to agriculture. You'll definitely want to hear about the driverless combine John once saw rolling across the open prairie in Saskatchewan. Or about how 5G might finally make it easy to park downtown. You'll get to hear about one of the cities on the front lines of adapting to this new economy. Cyrus Tehrani, the Chief Digital Officer for the City of Hamilton, shares his thoughts on how 5G will “level up” some of the services people depend on every day.

ABSTRACT Conventional wisdom suggests that the routing of container traffic routing via West Coast ports is highly sensitive to transportation and transit time differentials. This belief played a major role in the initiation and the conclusions of the recent Federal Maritime Commission inquiry on the impact of the Harbor Maintenance tax on port competitiveness. This presentation will review the research behind the current conventional wisdom, highlight recent research conducted by Mr. Davies on the impact of macroeconomic variables and inland transportation networks on Canadian and US port competitiveness, and discuss the implications for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in developing robust strategies for responding to increased competition following the expansion of the Panama Canal. SPEAKER BIO Philip Davies is a transportation economist with over 30 years' experience in market research, freight planning and intercity passenger transportation, including 18 years as a Senior Economist with Transport Canada. After leaving Transport Canada, he served as Senior Consultant for IBI Group and as Vice President of Halcrow Consulting, Inc. Mr Davies is now the Principal of Davies Transportation Consulting, Inc. in Vancouver, BC. Mr. Davies' experience spans the public and private sectors in market analysis, planning and logistics. Recent research has focused on issues related to international container trade and includes projects related to port drayage, assessment of industrial land and intermodal facilities, and studies on competitiveness and environmental initiatives at West Coast ports. He holds an MA in Economics and a BA Hon. in Economics and Political Science from the University of Saskatchewan, and received a CITT Diploma in Transportation Management in 1995. He is a member of the International Trade and Transportation Committee at the Transportation Research Board, National Academy of Sciences, and Vice President of External Affairs for the Canadian Transportation Research Forum.
