THANK YOU
TO BCIT’s DONORS AND FRIENDS,
In a world where technology changes everything, BCIT is at the forefront of that change.
When British Columbians look for the latest applied training in technologies and trades,
they rely on BCIT to deliver. Staying at the forefront of technological change requires
BCIT to maintain strong connections with business and industry and to have the resources
to invest in new technology.
The generosity of our donors and supporters is critical to maintaining BCIT’s ability to
fulfill its mission. Since 1964, more than 100,000 graduates have used their skills to build
BC’s economy and participate in the global marketplace. Many are successful leaders
who hire our grads and stay involved with BCIT.
We are sincerely grateful to our donors and supporters for contributing to the Institute’s
ongoing success. So many of you have invested more than your financial resources – you
have also shared your time and entrepreneurial knowledge to ensure that our research
and educational services benefit students, employers and the wider community.
Thank you again for helping BCIT today to secure BC’s future tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Don Wright

“Donor support alleviated my
financial stress and gave me the
time to focus on my education.”
Julia Paskovic, Account Coordinator,
Quay Strategies Inc.
2008 BCIT FOUNDATION REPORT ON GIVING •
DONOR FUNDED AWARDS CHANGE
STUDENT LIVES
BURSARIES AND SCHOLARSHIPS ATTRACT THE BEST STUDENTS
TO BCIT AND HELP THOSE IN FINANCIAL NEED
If it weren’t for five student awards from
generous donors like Garfield Weston
and Dr. G. Wynne Powell, Julia Paskovic’s
exceptional marketing and leadership
talents may have taken a backseat to the
stress of meeting her educational and
living expenses.
Two months into the Marketing Management
diploma program, Julia quit her part-time
job in order to keep up with the demanding
workload and professional development
commitments of the program.
Reluctant to take on a student loan, the
psychology graduate from UBC followed
a friendly tip and applied for student
awards through BCIT Student Financial Aid
and Awards.
Julia’s high academic standing, her
professional accomplishments and
leadership strengths won her more than
$12,000 in financial support and the
opportunity to take full advantage of
her BCIT education.
“It was such a relief to receive these
awards,” says Julia. “Donor support
alleviated my financial stress and gave me
the time to focus on my education.”
In 2007, Julia’s confidence grew while
participating on the BCIT Marketing
Association’s team, which represented
Canada in the prestigious American
Marketing Association Collegiate
Conference finals in New Orleans. The
team placed second for its innovative plan
to revitalize tourism in New Orleans.
Later that year, Julia was elected President
of the BCIT Association of Integrated
Marketers. Now a graduate and working
full-time at Quay Strategies Inc., a strategic
public relations firm, Julia is modest about
her achievements but speaks passionately
of her BCIT experience.
“The healthy competition at BCIT
challenged us to think outside the box to
change people’s perceptions.”
Best of all, Julia is inspired to give back to
BCIT and to the community, thanks in large
part to the great example of our donors.

“When we make an endowment
grant, we’re investing in a resource
for the community.”
Tim Pringle, Executive Director,
Real Estate Foundation of BC

CREATING GREEN COMMUNITIES
OF THE FUTURE
RESEARCH ENDOWMENT ENHANCES BCIT’S LEADERSHIP IN SUSTAINABILITY
BCIT is honoured to receive a half-million
dollar gift from the Real Estate Foundation
of British Columbia to create the Real
Estate Foundation of BC Endowment for
the Adoption of Green Value Strategies in
Development – the Institute’s first applied
research fund.
This generous contribution will be the
leadership gift to establish a larger
group of pooled endowments supporting
sustainable development, environmental
stewardship research, and applied learning
activities within the School of Construction
and the Environment.
“When we make an endowment grant,
we’re investing in a resource for the
community,” says Tim Pringle, Executive
Director for the Real Estate Foundation
of BC. “In this case we’re providing
practitioners with access to resources
in the form of research, education, and
technical advice.”
When asked why partnering with BCIT
was a good fit, Tim attributed it to the
common values shared between the two
organizations, BCIT’s unique focus on green
value implementation, and the capacity
it has to really influence the work that
practitioners do.
This gift anchors the research endowment
that the School of Construction and the
Environment is building for research in
sustainability as it pertains to the natural
environment, the built environment and
the relationship between them. With
matching funds provided by the School of
Construction and the Environment, the total
endowment balance will be $750,000 – the
largest endowment in BCIT’s history.
“We are truly thankful to the Real Estate
Foundation for its gift and leadership in
this area,” says Wayne Hand, Acting Dean
for the School of Construction and the
Environment. “It will prepare new graduates
to meet the challenges they will encounter
in a rapidly changing work environment;
one that is increasingly focused on a triple
bottom line of performance that delivers
economic and social prosperity while
protecting the natural environment.”
This year, the Real Estate Foundation is
celebrating 20 years of grant making.
From 1988 – 2007, the Foundation
approved over $48 million in grants in
122 BC communities.

60TH ANNIVERSARY GIFT ADVANCES
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
LEDCOR CELEBRATES MILESTONE WITH INVESTMENT
IN STUDENTS AND TECHNOLOGY
When Ledcor Industries donated $2 million
to 10 Canadian and American institutions
offering education in applied trades and
technologies, BCIT was grateful to receive
$500,000, one of the largest of these gifts.
Ledcor Executive Vice-President and Chief
Financial Officer Jim Logan is a BCIT graduate
who served on BCIT’s Board of Governors.
His past experience as a student and governor
gave Jim the confidence that BCIT was able to
provide high-quality educational opportunities
to skilled professionals.
The gift is divided into several components
that are consistent with Ledcor’s objectives
of increasing the number of people
entering construction and related fields,
and ensuring graduates are trained to meet
the company’s client needs, especially in
the areas of sustainable development and
construction management.
The gift also includes the establishment
of five annual awards funded by the new
Ledcor 60th Anniversary Endowment for
high achieving students in the School of
Construction and the Environment and the
School of Business.
“Ledcor has demonstrated true leadership
and vision for the future of the construction
sector through these investments in
education. The gift will greatly facilitate the
development and integration of the latest
technology and industry best practices
into the curriculum of our programs” says
Wayne Hand, acting Dean, BCIT’s School of
Construction and the Environment.
President of Ledcor’s Canadian Building
Group and BCIT graduate, Peter
Hrdlitschka, said that the company’s
long-term investment in the Institute is
particularly meaningful, as in Vancouver
35% of the company’s salaried staff, and
75% of its senior management are BCIT
graduates. “Every part of a BCIT course
is relevant and specific to the workplace,
meaning graduates immediately add value
to the company when they join,” he says.

INNOVATIVE PARTNERSHIP
TO PROTECT FRASER RIVER
RUDY NORTH SUPPORTS ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
TO SAVE THE HEART OF THE FRASER
Although he chose a career in financial
management over one in fisheries, Rudy
North of North Growth Management Ltd.
has dedicated time and financial resources
to protecting endangered fish stocks and
their environments. Since 2005, Rudy
has been influential in supporting a
BCIT project to preserve the Heart of the
Fraser, a stretch of the Fraser River which
is BC’s largest and most ecologically
diverse waterway.
The Heart of the Fraser and its rich
ecosystem, which lies between Mission
and Hope, is increasingly at risk from
the growing pressures of urbanization,
agricultural expansion, resource extraction
and land development.
When he became aware of the growing
threat to the Heart of the Fraser,
Rudy sought a collaboration with
organizations like the Nature Trust of
British Columbia and the Fraser River
Sturgeon Conservation Society, to
safeguard the waterway. Through them,
he was introduced to Mark Angelo, Head
of BCIT’s Fish, Wildlife and Recreation
program, and the project took off.
The Heart of the Fraser Initiative aims
to bring people together from political,
corporate and public interests to restore and
protect what’s left of these aquatic habitats
and landscapes for future generations.
Rudy’s support of BCIT is a direct result of
his high regard for Mark Angelo, recipient
of the Order of Canada and the Order
of British Columbia and recognized as a
world conservation leader by the United
Nations. “No one gets more done with a
donation than Mark,” says Rudy. “He is a
talented scientist, educator and advocate
for his field.”
Mark is equally complimentary about
Rudy. “Rudy is both enthusiastic and
knowledgable about the Heart of the Fraser
Initiative. Through his tremendous support
we have made significant steps forward to
protect this unique river environment.”

the Fraser Initiative visit the campaign’s

including the 2008 Sandwell Engineering Award

AWARD RECOGNIZES GENERATIONS
OF HIGH ACHIEVING STUDENTS
Sandwell Engineering marks 43 years of supporting
excellence in learning
BCIT extends a warm appreciation to
Sandwell Engineering for its outstanding
commitment to supporting one of the
Institute’s longest continuing annual
awards. Since 1965, the Colonel W. G.
Swan Award has been presented to a
top BCIT Civil Engineering Technology
graduate in the School of Construction
and the Environment.
The Award was named after Colonel
William George Swan, founder of Swan
Wooster Engineering Company Ltd., and
the first President of the Association of
Professional Engineers and Geoscientists
of BC. In 1986, Sandwell Engineering
acquired Swan Wooster, and the award’s
legacy continued through Sandwell.
According to Gordon Zonailo, a vice
president at Sandwell, Swan Wooster saw
BCIT as an up-and-coming post-secondary
institute that would produce graduates
with the ability to work successfully in the
engineering and construction industries.
In addition to providing a lasting tribute to
Colonel Swan, the Award also serves as a
recruitment tool by raising the company’s
profile among the best BCIT students.
A BCIT graduate and award recipient
himself, Gordon’s relationship with
BCIT continued when he served on the
Civil Engineering Technology program’s
advisory committee for 15 years, and later,
when he presented the Colonel Swan
Award to graduating students on behalf of
the company.
“Sandwell’s remarkable commitment to
the Institute is reflective of our ability
to build positive relationships with key
industry members and our alumni so
that the shared community benefits are
sustained for years to come,” said Laurie
Clarke, Vice President Development and
Executive Director, BCIT Foundation and
Alumni Association. “BCIT is very proud
to acknowledge Sandwell’s contributions.”
Sandwell is a leading engineering,
procurement, and construction
services company in transportation,
power, petroleum, industrial process,
manufacturing and general building.

ONLY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM
“John was our boss and inspirational
leader,” says Dr. Brian O’Connor, a
Medical Health Officer on the North
Shore. “He was a great role model and
mentor and we wanted to acknowledge
his contribution to the field.”
He established municipal smoking bylaws, cleaned up Vancouver’s drinking
water, launched public education
campaigns and introduced new
immunization programs for adults and
children. During his 36 years as Chief
Medical Officer for the Vancouver Coastal
Health Authority, Dr. John Blatherwick was
a passionate advocate in the health field.
It was no surprise that when John retired
in 2007 with a collection of accolades,
including the Order of Canada and the
Order of British Columbia, his colleagues
wanted to recognize his career by setting
up an endowment in his honour.
The Dr. John Blatherwick Endowment in
Environmental Health provides financial
support and recognition to students
entering BCIT’s Environmental Health
program – the only one of its kind in the
province. It is a fitting tribute to John’s
passion for environmental health and his
desire to support education in this area.
“I believe in what BCIT does and stands
for, and appreciate the excellent people
who work as environmental health officers
in BC,” says John, who served as chair of
the BCIT Environmental Health program’s
advisory committee.

“I am grateful and honoured for this
extraordinary recognition from members
of the Business Council on my retirement,”
states Jerry, “The endowment will benefit
current and future BCIT Aerospace
Technology students as they prepare to

BCIT was delighted to be chosen as the
beneficiary of this special tribute. With the
support of Jerry’s business associates and
friends at the Council, the endowment
grew to over $170,000 with 50 gifts from
all sectors of the business community,
including energy, tourism, mining, forestry,
and transportation.

While “Forensics” has been made

a software donation valued at $775,000,
for use in the Crime and Intelligence
Analysis Program.

PARTNERS HELP BCIT HONOUR DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI LEADERS
This incredible ability to showcase the
outstanding leadership of our graduates is
made possible thanks to the generosity of
twenty seven sponsors, who contributed
cash or in-kind gifts and services. The
Alumni Association is particularly grateful to
the event’s lead Diamond Sponsor ($10,000),
Wellington West Clearsight, an investment
company that has been a major sponsor since
2004, and presenting sponsor since 2006.
At last year’s fifth annual BCIT Distinguished
Alumni Awards (DAA), CTV sportscaster
and emcee, Perry Solkowski, noted that the
winners could plan it, build it, sail it, write
about it and likely sell it abroad – no small
feat for five very talented individuals.
Perry accurately articulated why the DAA,
which honours BCIT alumni who have
distinguished themselves in their careers
and community endeavours, has become a
well-recognized, high profile gala ceremony.
Five leadership awards were presented
over the course of the evening before an
audience of more than 400 alumni and
friends at the Four Seasons Hotel. Each
winner’s achievements were thoughtfully
highlighted in prepared video presentations.
Wellington West Clearsight was originally
introduced to the Alumni Association in
2004, as an affinity partner. In light of
the positive partnership, the company
was “pleased to participate in the DAA,
which provides a great opportunity to raise
awareness of our unique relationship with
BCIT, and generate interest in the products

President Michael Burns.
“Beyond receiving publicity and networking
benefits, sponsors are instrumental in
facilitating BCIT’s mandate of connecting
industry with the BCIT community and

of the BCIT Alumni Association. “We

Industry involvement is essential to the
development of the new boiler facility.
In addition to being invited to participate
in its design and construction, industry
partners will also help promote BCIT as the
province’s premier training facility for both
current workers and prospective students.
BCIT’s School of Manufacturing, Electronics
and Industrial Processes has received $8.6
million from the Provincial Government of
BC for a new state of the art boiler facility.
Once installed, the facility will enable BCIT
to provide specialized training for students
preparing to work in the fast growing oil
and gas industries as well as in major
commercial complexes.
“Designed to meet the latest safety and
environmental standards, the system
will advance research into reducing
harmful emissions and enable training on
new environmental technologies” says
Trevor Williams, Dean of the School of
Manufacturing, Electronics and
Industrial Processes.
With the increased demand for skilled
workers in the oil and gas industries and
other areas, it is essential for BCIT to
provide training on the most current boiler
systems that have the lowest possible
emissions. The facility is scheduled for
completion in late 2009 with BCIT needing
to raise additional funds towards the overall
project cost.
