2010 Greetings from the Executive


Happy New Year to all ITE Greater Vancouver Section members and friends! We hope you enjoyed the holiday season and wish you and your family a very cheerful and successful 2010.



This year, the 2010 ITE Greater Vancouver Section Executives are:

• President: Kanny Chow, Opus International


• Vice-President: Matthew Chan, Delcan Corporation


• Secretary: Stephanie McNeely, Dillon Consulting


• Treasurer: Charlotte Bathurst, Opus International


• Immediate Past President: Thomas Kwan, Transport Canada


• Webmaster: William Hui, TransLink

2010 will be a special year for Vancouver and the Greater Vancouver Section. With the upcoming Winter Olympics, the Vancouver metropolitan area will be very much in the limelight, including the many transportation-related issues and measures related to the games. Many members of our Section will have had a great impact on addressing these challenges. To have an influence on a once-in-a-lifetime event is certainly rewarding.



The 2010 ITE Annual Meeting and Exhibit will be in Vancouver from August 8 to 11 at the Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre. This is the largest event for ITE, and will be held in conjunction with the CITE Annual Meeting. It is an honour to be the host city for this event, as it is not held in Canada that often. Details for the Annual Meeting will be provided in the coming months. As the Section of the host city, we encourage you to participate in this event and make our presence felt.



Throughout the coming year, the ITE Greater Vancouver Section will be bringing you events such as our usual monthly meetings (with the first one slated for late March to avoid Olympic-related activities). These events are a great way to network with fellow transportation professionals and to enhance your professional developments outside your work place. We also provide various services and announcements on our website and e-mail notices, including our free job posting page. In addition, the BC Interior Chapter will host events to further promote and enhance the transportation industry outside of the Lower Mainland. The UBC ITE Student Chapter will once again encourage students to consider transportation engineering or planning as their career, starting with the upcoming UBC ITE Student Chapter Mini-Conference (scheduled for March).



As always, we encourage you to let us know any comments or ideas that you have regarding the type of events that you would like us to provide. Just send us an email at itevancouversection@gmail.com or talk to us at one of the monthly meetings. Please also check us out at http://www.citevancouver.org to get the latest information about our events. We look forward to seeing old and new faces throughout the coming year and making 2010 a success.
