    Survey on National Monument to Canada's Mission in Afghanistan

    You can argue ad nauseam about the result and the "best" design. My point is simply that the artists, architects and members of the jury took part in the competition in good faith and laboured under the impression that a certain set of rules where in place. And then the rules changed...

    Survey on National Monument to Canada's Mission in Afghanistan

    I know I would. I happen to be part of a lot of design competitions and work closely with professionals advisors and they take the integrity of the process very very seriously. And it's very clear from the start that point of a competition is to respect the jury's decision. If you want a very...

    Survey on National Monument to Canada's Mission in Afghanistan

    It's not about the choice but it's the integrity of the selection process : the jury's decision should be binding. If they wanted the final design to be chosen through an online poll, they just shouldn't have held a design competition.

    Source for a Drum Major sash

    Hello all, I'm looking to have a new Drum Major sash made for my old Air Cadet Squadron. Does anyone have any recommendation for a supplier ? Joe Drouin / Denis Ringuette was the first option that cam to mind but they seemed to have disappeared from the web :unsure: Thanks !

    ‘Bike culture’ enjoys limited receptivity among Canadians

    It's much easier to be aware of uncoming traffic at intersections on a bicycle. If not making a full stop at that intersection was so dangerous, surely that TV crew would have a lot of footage of dangerous near misses and collisions , right ?

    ‘Bike culture’ enjoys limited receptivity among Canadians

    Those numbers for Canada are depressing but they make me appreciate the fact that I live in a very bike friendly city even more. Good bike infrastructures are crucial to make cities more liveable.

    Irony?

    Well, since Canada is the historical name of New-France and was inhabited by the original Canadiens, it certainly makes sense to root for them ;) We'll let the rest of Canada root for Les feuilles d'érables...

    OCdts in Leadership Positions Discussion

    These "very special individuals" appear in the organization from time to time (I've met less than an handful during my 20+ years).  And these "very special individuals" cause an extraordinary amount of chaos and grief. They get trough because even the greatest weirdos can usually manage to keep...
