Trade Show Update - Specifier: October 2015

On November 18th, 2015 CSC Vancouver Chapter is hosting the fifth annual Trade Show at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The committee members have been working hard for months to ensure the event is well attended and provides the essential education required from the design authority on current topics and issues related to the industry. The “NO FRILLS” name has been derived from the Ontario based show as CSC works to create a national name across Canada. This year the organizers have developed a theme around, “Building Better Buildings” highlighting green building and energy code changes which impact local construction in our area. The day will feature three separate guest speakers:

10:30AM – 11:30AM: “BC Building Codes”— Discussion on the various code changes and what Designers/Architects need to be aware of in designing new buildings. — Murray Frank; Building Consultant, Constructive Home Solutions.
