Premier Christy Clark outlined requirements for British Columbia to consider supporting heavy oil pipelines, including the Enbridge Northern Gateway project. The requirements are that environmental reviews be successfully completed, BC receives a fair share of fiscal and economic benefits reflecting the risks to the province, and legal requirements regarding Aboriginal rights are addressed. Forecasting future risks and returns of major projects can be done using mean-variance optimization in modern portfolio theory, which predicts risks and returns based on historical data.

Big infrastructure is building Canada’s futureAECOM
Large-scale infrastructure spending in Canada is five times more what it was a decade ago. Infrastructure, in the broadest sense, whether public or private, is the facilities and structures that support society. Investing in infrastructure helps address current needs, capture new opportunities and solve persistent challenges. We profile seven of Canada’s biggest infrastructure projects and their significance to the country’s future.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Three bidders vie for Waterloo LRT contract
Written by Keith Barrow
THREE consortia have submitted bids to the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, Ontario, for the $C
536m ($US 505m) PPP contract to design, build, operate, and maintain the city's first light rail line.
The bidders include:
GrandLinq comprising Plenary Group Canada; Meridiam Infrastructure
Waterloo; Aecon; Kiewit; Mass Electric Construction Canada; Keolis; STV
Canada Construction and CIBC World Markets
Kitchener Waterloo Cambridge Transit Partners comprising Gracorp Capital
Advisors; Connor, Clark & Lunn GVest Traditional; Infrastructure Partnership;
Parsons; Graham Infrastructure; IBI Group; E & E Seegmiller; Guild Electric;
Alternate Concepts and Investec North America, and
Tricity Transit System including SNC Lavalin; EllisDon Capital; Fengate
Capital Management; URS Canadian Operations; and Hatch Mott MacDonald.
Seven groups initially responded to the request for qualifications.
The 19km line will run from Conestoga Mall in Waterloo to Fairview Park Mall in
Kitchener. The 16-station line is due to open in 2017 and is expected to carry
27,000 passengers in its first full year of operation, rising to 56,000 by 2031.
Ontario has committed up to $C 300m in funding, bolstered by Canadian
federal government funding of $C 265m and regional contributions of $C 253m.
Earlier this year the regional government reached an agreement with Toronto
and Hamilton transit authority Metrolinx to acquire 14 Flexity Freedom LRVs Bombardier Flexity Freedom LRV for Waterloo.

Southern Rail Vancouver Island BC Canada
2010, August 25 Vancouver Island Railway Study Released Filed under: Announcement, Inter-city rail — Tags: E&N, island corridor, VIA — Matthew @ 1:03 am
The provincial study on the future of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway (now owned by
the Island Corridor Foundation) on Vancouver Island was released recently. The summary
of the study basically concludes that it is not worth investing any money in the railway
corridor.
The full study can be found on the BC Ministry of Transportation site.
The E&N railway is now owned by the Island Corridor Foundation. Rail service is
contracted to the Southern Railway of Vancouver Island. Freight service only exists along
part of the line between Courtney and Duncan. There is one round trip passenger train
every day from Victoria north to Courtney and a return trip to Victoria in the afternoon. The
segment of the line from Parksville to Port Alberni is out of service, although a tourist train
operates on a portion of the railway near Port Alberni.
One of the main problems with the rail corridor is that right of way is overgrown, tracks are
worn out and years of deferred maintenance have taken their toll. Train speeds must be
reduced due to the poor quality of the roadbed. This further diminishes the
competitiveness of the rail service. The Island Corridor Foundation was hoping to get an
investment from senior level governments to upgrade the line so it could support better
VIA Rail service, commuter rail in the Victoria area, re-open the Port Alberni line and
attract more freight service.
It is disappointing to public transport advocates that the province of BC has no problem
dropping $24 million on new interchanges (eg. McTavish Rd in North Saanich). The
province, with help from the federal government will spend $1.184 billion on the South
Fraser Perimeter Road (expressway). These road projects seem to get announced every
week with no year-long half million dollar studies, but for non-highway projects the
province isn’t interested in supporting them.

Announcement in the Times Colonist: “Not enough people use E&N train to warrant a
commuter rail investment, province concludes”

Minister Oliver Announces Douglas Eyford as Special Federal Representative March 19, 2013
Terrace, B.C. — The Honourable Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today announced the appointment of Douglas Eyford as the Government of
Canada’s Special Federal Representative on West Coast Energy Infrastructure. Mr. Eyford will engage with Aboriginal communities in British Columbia and Alberta that
could benefit from future energy infrastructure development. Minister Oliver made the announcement from the Long House Waap Galts'ap at the Northwest
Community College’s Terrace Campus. “The Government of Canada must and will make every effort to ensure that Aboriginal peoples in Canada have the opportunity
to share the benefits of energy resource development in the years ahead,” said Minister Oliver. “We will work with Aboriginal communities to ensure they have an
opportunity to actively participate in developing Canada’s energy resources and protecting our environment.”
Mr. Eyford appointment reflects three important principles that are helping guide the Government of Canada’s plan for Responsible Resource Development: Inclusive
prosperity, which involves forging a prosperity that includes all Canadians;
Environmental prosperity, which emphasizes that Canada’s well-being involves both economic and environmental prosperity; and.
Engagement with Aboriginal peoples to facilitate greater participation in West Coast Resource Development. The work of the Special Federal
Representative will complement rather than duplicate or substitute for the Crown’s duty to consult on individual projects.
As Special Federal Representative, Mr. Eyford will report directly to the Prime Minister. He will present a Preliminary Report to the Prime Minister by June
28, 2013, and will issue a Final Report by November 29, 2013., “The goal is clear. Douglas Eyford will help identify opportunities to facilitate greater participation by
Aboriginal peoples in resource development while at the same time identifying ways in which Aboriginal peoples can play a greater role in strengthening
environmental protection,” said Minister Oliver. “Our Government believes that, by working together with Aboriginal peoples, provinces and industry, all Canadians
can share in the jobs and prosperity that await us if we act now for the good of Canada.”
Natural Resources Canada will provide support and advice to the Special Federal Representative in carrying out his mandate.

companies operate in the Victoria area, with combined annual revenues of $1.95 billion.[19]
High Speed Internet is delivered to the island by Shaw Communications, Telus, and various local
providers with their own networks. Wireless Internet connections can be found all over the
Island, many free for public use.
While the Island does generate much of its own power at several hydroelectric stations, increased
demand required the construction of several high voltage power cables, both HVDC and
AC, connecting to the Canadian Mainland. See Powerlines connecting Vancouver Island with
Canadian Mainland.
Logging: Outside of Victoria, Vancouver Island's economy is largely dominated by the forestry
industry. Many of the logging operations are for paper pulp, in "2nd growth" tree farms that are
harvested approximately every 80 years. Logging operations involving old-growth forests such as
those found on Clayoquot Sound are controversial and have gained international attention through
the efforts of activists and environmental organizations.
Tourism: In recent years the government of British Columbia has engaged in an advertising
program to draw more tourists to beach resorts in places such as Tofino and Ucluelet. Sport
fishing, whale-watching, hiking, SCUBA diving, and skiing are just a few things for which tourists
visit Vancouver Island. Visitors also come to see Victoria's nineteenth-century architecture, and the
many villages which line the coast such as Cowichan Bay, Chemainus, and Qualicum Beach.

The railway was originally built between eastern Canada and British Columbia between 1881
and 1885 (connecting with Ottawa Valley and Georgian Bay area lines built earlier), fulfilling a
promise extended to British Columbia when it entered Confederation in 1871. It was Canada's
first transcontinental railway, but currently does not reach the Atlantic coast. Primarily a
freight railway, the CPR was for decades the only practical means of long-distance passenger
transport in most regions of Canada, and was instrumental in the settlement and development
of Western Canada. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway

The first obstacle to its construction is political. A logical route through to the city of
Vancouver, BC, Canada. The difficulty of building a railroad through the Canadian Rockies
submerged under the Strait of Georgia, is feasible. An entirely Canadian rail and highway route
would require crossing 30 km (17 mi) of rugged undersea terrain. This is not barren ocean and
the seabed's and life, sponges, must be protected and all risks assessed and preventive
measures planned and acted upon, to ensure this routing is protected and risks nullified. , The
government offered huge incentives including vast grants of land in Western Canada in 1881.

For the next six years, backers of the road struggled to find financing. Though

5, 1885, groundbreaking did not take place until February 15, 1885, at
Thompson Junction, Minnesota, 25 miles (40 km) west of Duluth, Minnesota.
The backing and promotions of famed financier Jay Cooke in the summer of
1885 brought the first real momentum to the company.
Over the course of 1885, the Northern Pacific pushed westward from
Minnesota into present-day North Dakota. Surveyors and construction crews
had to maneuver through swamps, bogs, and tamarack forests. The difficult
terrain and insufficient funding delayed by six months the construction phase in
Minnesota.[1] The NP also began building its line north from
Kalama, Washington Territory, on the Columbia River outside of
Portland, Oregon, towards Puget Sound. Four small construction engines were
purchased, the Minnetonka, Itaska, Ottertail and St. Cloud, the first of which
was shipped to Kalama by ship around Cape Horn. In Minnesota, the Lake
Superior and Mississippi Railroad completed construction of its 155-mile
(249 km) line stretching from Saint Paul to Lake Superior at Duluth in 1885. It
was leased to the Northern Pacific the following year, and was eventually
absorbed by the Northern Pacific.

SPANISH infrastructure manager Adif and Alstom
have signed an agreement to develop a new dualgauge signalling system for 1668mm-gauge and
1435mm-gauge trains operating on the same tracks.
According to Adif, Alstom will design an ERTMS
system for the mixed-gauge lines at its technology
centre in Malaga. Alstom will also conduct track
testing, develop new products to enhance the
systems functionality raised, and obtain safety
certification.
Adif has to date upgraded 170km of track to
accommodate dual gauge, predominantly between
Barcelona and the French border, as well as some
individual sections including the Tardienta - Huesca
line, with 99% of the work carried out by Alstom. The
Mediterranean Freight Corridor, which is reliant on
the institution of dual-gauge to allow services to
operate seamlessly between eastern Spain and

The Northern Pacific Railway (NP, Northern Pacific Railway Wikipedia) was a
transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western
United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Coast. It was approved by Congress in
1864 and given nearly 40 million acres (160,000 km2) of land grants, which it used to
raise money in Europe for construction. Construction began in 1870 and the main
line opened all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific when former president
Ulysses S. Grant drove in the final "golden spike" in western Montana on Sept.
8, 1883. The railroad had about 6800 miles of track and served a large
area, including extensive trackage in the states of
Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. In
addition the company had international branches to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and
southeastern British Columbia, Canada. The main activities were shipping wheat
and other farm products, cattle, timber and minerals; bringing in consumer
goods, transporting passengers; and selling land. The company was headquartered
first in Brainerd, Minnesota, then in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It had a tumultuous
financial history, and in 1970 it merged with other lines to form the Burlington
Northern Railroad. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Pacific_Railway
Congress chartered the Northern Pacific Railway Company on July 2, 1885 with the goals of 1) connecting
the Great Lakes with Puget Sound on the Pacific, 2) opening vast new lands for
farming, ranching, lumbering and mining, and 3) linking Washington and Oregon to the rest of the
country. Congress granted the railroad a potential 60 million acres (243,000 km2) of land in exchange for
building rail transportation to an undeveloped territory. Josiah Perham was elected its first president on
December 7, 1885. It could not use all the land and in the end took just under 40 million acres.
Jay Cooke takes control: February 15, 1885, at Thompson
Junction, Minnesota, 25 miles (40 km) west of Duluth, Minnesota. The
backing and promotions of famed financier Jay Cooke in the summer of
1885 brought the first real momentum to the company.
For the next six years, backers of the road struggled to find financing. Though John Gregory Smith
succeeded Perham as president on January 5, 1885, groundbreaking did not take place until (..).
Over the course of 1885, the Northern Pacific pushed westward from Minnesota into present-day North
Dakota. Surveyors and construction crews had to maneuver through swamps, bogs, and tamarack
forests. The difficult terrain and insufficient funding delayed by six months the construction phase in
Minnesota.[1] The NP also began building its line north from Kalama, Washington Territory, on the
Columbia River outside of Portland, Oregon, towards Puget Sound. Four small construction engines were
purchased, the Minnetonka, Itaska, Ottertail and St. Cloud, the first of which was shipped to Kalama by
ship around Cape Horn. In Minnesota, the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad completed construction
of its 155-mile (249 km) line stretching from Saint Paul to Lake Superior at Duluth in 1885. It was leased
to the Northern Pacific the following year, and was eventually absorbed by the Northern Pacific

44. I am very interested in developing a high-speed rail and highway tunnel crossing from Vancouver to Vancouver Island.
The government of Canada agreed to a crossing in 1867 and hasn't fulfilled the 1871 promise of a connection to Canada
for it's people and business. This will be like the Rogfast Tunnel, Norway. With Aboriginal input and on the corporation
board we can develop world class man made islands that will support Aboriginal Tourism and Business.
