Finest powers Clean tech and the race for sustainable energy

Wood-cutters

and water-bearers may traditionally have personified a rural Canada subsisting in the shadow of the United States and other more industrialized nations, but today’s competition for resources has made it a steward of energy drawn from the land. Consider Rackforce, a Kelowna group that provides data storage for companies across the continent. Its energy-efficient servers and minimal environmental footprint make it a top alternative to server farms located in places with coal- or diesel-powered grids. Brian Fry, vice-president, says clients are attracted to Rackforce’s smaller carbon footprint, which in turn allows them to tout a green element to their own operations. Clients range from the British Columbia Securities Commission to Microsoft Corp., from law firm Lang Michener LLP to Science Alberta Foundation in Calgary. Rackforce’s 40,000 square feet of server farm are twice as energy-efficient as the industry average for data centres. The company’s average carbon output runs at about 17 grams of carbon dioxide a kilowatt hour, representing about two per cent of that of the average data centre elsewhere in North America, which typically relies on generators fuelled by coal or diesel. The Okanagan moreover has relatively stable temperate weather, no seismic activity and fewer risk factors than urban locations. Fry observes, “We can really protect the data centre in a way you just can’t do in a downtown core. There [are] just too many things that can go wrong.” What’s going right with Rackforce, where energy is concerned, is what the government in Victoria would like to see replicated in other sectors in British Columbia. Clean tech is a cornerstone of the province’s environmental and economic strategies. Home-grown, it can create jobs while helping a province reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 8—BCTECH 2010 BIV Magazines www.bctechmagazine.ca

`BCTech 2010_00.2.indd 8

Provincial push The government has set the course for the sector through various policies. These include the BC Energy Plan, which has set 2016 as the target for achieving zero GHG emissions at all new energy projects and net-zero emissions at existing coal-fired generating plants. In addition, routine flaring at oil and gas facilities is set to be halved by 2011 and eliminated by 2016. The plan encourages conservation. The province has also developed a bioenergy strategy for tapping biomass such as waste from trees killed by the pine beetle and from agriculture (including offal and manure). Bioenergy will strengthen the province’s “long-term competitiveness and electricity self-sufficiency,” states the website of the BC Bioenergy Strategy. Waste from industrial operations, including farms and timber mills, figures in the strategy. Recently, Pacific Briquetters Inc. announced plans to develop a briquette-manufacturing facility in Mission using waste from a local cedar mill. The briquette plant will serve industrial users, primarily in the United Kingdom, the U.S. and Asia where the fuel is well accepted. In fall 2009, Victoria appointed a task force to examine B.C.’s opportunities to serve as a premier supplier of renewable energy. The recommendations promise to address a broad range of possibilities, says Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources Blair Lekstrom. Among the foremost: cleaning up B.C.’s own energy sources and transforming the province into a place where companies can reduce their carbon footprints just by operating here. “We think we have the ability to become a cleanenergy powerhouse,” Lekstrom says. Companies are Renewable power sources and a smaller overall carbon footprint can reduce the environmental impact of data storage, says Brian Fry of Kelowna-based Rackforce Photo: TrudelPhoto.com

Thinking out Cloud!

RackForce GigaCenter

Cloud Computing is where fast moving companies are placing their IT dollars to be lean, mean and green.

Single-pad gas wells are becoming things of the past as provincial policy cleans up B.C.’s energy sector with the help of new technology

“going to look at a number of factors when they look to locate to a region, and the availability of clean energy is … going to be a primary consideration for them.” For Lekstrom, clean power doesn’t only mean the replacement of coal-fired generating plants with hydro and wind power. He also points to natural-gas wells in his home constituency of Peace River South, where multi-well pads are replacing standard single-well ones. This shift locates several wells within the same development footprint, reducing the industry’s land requirements and overall environmental impact. Meanwhile, vapour recovery, which prevents sour gas and other byproducts of gas production from entering the atmosphere, provides an alternative to the

practice of flaring sour gas, set to phase out under the province’s energy policy. Technologies that reduce the impact of energy production and consumption are the focus of more than 250 companies in B.C. Vancouver-based Chrysalix Energy, Nexterra Energy Corp. and Pacific BioEnergy Corp. (which operates a plant in Prince George) are among the firms fuelling growth in the province’s clean-tech sector by 11 per cent a year. The sector employs 3,700 persons and enjoys backing both from traditional tech funding and from industry-specific initiatives such as the Innovative Clean Energy Fund (a pool of $25 million per year funded by a levy of 0.4 per cent on final sales of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, propane and other

Clean Victoria RackForce’s Dynamic Datacenter Services provide the perfect platform to build your cloud. We provide worldclass Cloud Computing, Colocation and Network Services from our advanced, efficient and seismically safe datacenters located in Kelowna BC.

Clean Works BC describes the province as home to “an alliance of policymakers, industry leaders, academics and passionate citizens”: a collaborative mix that Dale Gann, president, technology parks, for the University of Victoria emphasizes as he talks about plans for Vancouver Island Technology Park (VITP). Acquired by UVic in 2005, the 35-acre park currently boasts 191,000 square feet of space. It’s fully occupied, with a mix of 34 companies employing 1,300 persons. Plans are afoot for an additional three buildings, and Gann says the university would like to accommodate clean tech. “We’re all about industry, academia and government working together to move an agenda,” he says. “We try not to just build buildings; we try to build buildings with a purpose.” Attracting clean tech is consistent with VITP’s status as the first LEED Gold facility in Canada. Victoria, moreover, is home to Carmanah Technologies Corp. and other stars in the sector and with legislative priorities. Following on the heels of the recent throne speech in which the B.C. government spoke of the need for clean tech, Gann says, “[We’re] working with the ministry” on its objectives and “how a park can help. … And one of [the] pieces will be space.” There’s no timeline for the new development, which will be part of a 250,000-square-foot expansion of the park, but the business plan envisions a building that will house startups and provide space for the mentorship of clean-tech developers. “Technology is one of the great stars of our community,” Gann says. “Victoria has a stronger clean-tech element to it [than any other tech sector].”

River, sea, wind B.C. has seen its share of environmental confrontations over offshore oil exploration and run-of-river (ROR) projects. Citizens are skeptical of megaprojects for power generation, even though they’re what have allowed B.C. and Quebec to become some of Canada’s biggest power brokers. The new generation in power generation comprises mainly smaller projects. These take power from more than rivers to meet BC Hydro’s demand for upwards of 5,000 gigawatt hours of new power supply. ROR projects insert turbines in watercourses without damming rivers; tidal power taps ocean currents likewise. These and wind turbines are among the innovations planned for the province. On April 1, 2010, Run of River Power Inc. announced that it had been chosen for an agreement with BC Hydro for the Mamquam Power Project, located 70 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. This project will use part of the flow of Skookum Creek to generate energy for roughly 9,500 residences, creating jobs for local and First Nations communities. Once operational, it will offset approximately 81,396 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, as compared to an equivalent coal-fired power plant. Pending approval of the agreement by the BC Utilities Commission, ROR Power will begin the development phase. NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. is pursuing plans for a $2-billion wind-generation project in the Hecate Strait, while projects proposed by Epcor Utilities Inc., Finavera Renewables and Rupert Peace Power Corp. near Tumbler Ridge could yield up to a gigawatt of generating capacity. A similar rush is happening with tidal power. Represented by the Ocean Renewable Energy Group in Nanaimo, the sector includes Pacific Coastal Wave Energy Corp., which has received funding under the province’s Innovative Clean Energy (ICE) fund for a project on Vancouver Island near Ucluelet. Canoe Pass Tidal Energy Corp., which also received ICE funding, has its eye on the waters off Campbell River for a similar project.

Clean Current Power Systems develops technology that draws upon tidal energy to generate electricity

energy products). Programs such as the BC Bioenergy Strategy and Clean Works BC also help direct efforts and raise awareness of B.C.’s possibilities. “The opportunity truly is remarkable, I think,” Lekstrom says. News travels B.C.’s ambitions are drawing neighbouring jurisdictions in. The Western Climate Initiative, for example, has brought together 11 provinces and states seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The consortium plans to launch an international market for the exchange of carbon credits (typically used by purchasers to demonstrate a commitment to reducing the impact of their own emissions). Montana, meanwhile, is part of an agreement with B.C. to protect the Flathead River Basin and develop renewable energy. The agreement includes the conservation-first principle that waste must be eliminated from existing uses before new capacity gets developed. GHGs, says Lekstrom, “don’t recognize borders … so if we’re serious about cleaning up the environment in which we live, not only do we have a responsibility, I think, to do it at home, but if we can help others, I think that’s our obligation as well.” The interest from proximal regions in cleaner energy highlights B.C.’s challenges. While the market opportunities are significant, other places are also pouring money into their own clean-tech sectors. Jonathan Rhone, president and chief executive officer of Vancouver-based Nexterra and chair of the B.C. Cleantech CEO Alliance, says that approximately $150 billion was poured globally into cleanenergy infrastructure in 2008. That amounts to about a tenth of global infrastructural investment and makes the sector one of the fastest-growing in the world.

12—BCTECH 2010 BIV Magazines www.bctechmagazine.ca

`BCTech 2010_00.2.indd 12

Other locales “are all trying to attract clean-tech companies,” Rhone says. “They all see the potential of the global market; they see the potential for jobs and investment. So there’s a lot of competition.” The sector faces many of the same hurdles as other tech industries in tapping adequate amounts of funding and moving to commercialization. While the alliance of companies Rhone represents includes flagship ventures such as Ballard Power Systems Inc., Westport Innovations Inc. and Lignol Innovations Ltd., he calls upon B.C.’s clean-tech sector to work harder to establish itself and keep track of its competitors. “We have to mindful of [whom] we’re competing against and what our competitive advantages are,” he says. “There’s lots of competition for building these sectors.” He notes that B.C.’s clean-tech demonstration fund of $100 million and potential reductions in the corporate tax from 28 to 15 per cent through the International Financial Centre may boost the sector. And there’s venture capital. The VC market, he says, “remains relatively healthy, and there [continue] to be quite a number of projects, companies that are continuing to get financed.” Their growth is critical in order for B.C. effectively to use technology to extend its energy resources: something that Rhone bills “a $100-billion opportunity for … B.C. over the next several decades.” (For our story on VC for tech, see page 23.) What’s required, according to Rhone: not only governmental policy and innovative thinking by lab workers but also a corporate interest in the long-term viability of the energy sector. He sees major possibilities in the “integration of some of the solutions in clean energy with the conventional-energy industry in Calgary and in Northeast B.C.” Ą Photo: Clean Current Power Systems

Best space on Earth

From design to energy monitoring, clean construction raises the bar

3383 Gilmore Way,

commonly known as DiscoveryGreen, is a landmark, and not just because it stands in a prominent location in Burnaby at a corner of Canada Way that overlooks Highway 1. It has earned significant environmental ratings: platinum certification for its core and shell from the Canada Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. Bunting Coady Architects and engineering firm CDML contributed to the building’s efficiency, while more generally, energy providers such as gas distributor Terasen Gas Inc. and BC Hydro have been joining the trend toward optimizing the performance of buildings. Terasen’s Innovative Technology Fund is

David Helliwell, co-founder of Pulse Energy: helping managers monitor energy use

offering companies $8 million through 2011 for new energymanagement technologies. BC Hydro’s Continuous Optimization Program offers software from three companies, including Vancouver-based Pulse Energy, Inc., to establish a baseline for energy use in buildings of more than 50,000 square feet and to identify areas where retrofits could improve energy use. “We see ourselves as an energy-information company,” says David Helliwell, who launched Pulse in 2006 with Greg Kerfoot, co-founder and former chief executive officer of Crystal Decisions. Pulse had its initial break in helping the sustainability office of the University of British Columbia track energy use in campus buildings, but the arrangement with BC Hydro introduced its software to a broader range of clients. It now serves the majority of the 60 participants in BC Hydro’s optimization program. The software is linked to building retrofits: a company must install the software for a minimum of nine months, after which retrofit recommendations are made. The retrofits are designed to repay the companies’ investments within two years, and companies that don’t undertake them lose the tracking software. “We allow them to ensure [that] the savings are being generated by their retrofit programs,” Helliwell says. “It’s really common to do an energy-efficiency project and everything looks really good, and then, just over time, the savings get eroded because something gets changed here, you change a heating setting there and a cooling setting there, and before you know it, you have heating working against cooling, and the Photo: Dominic Schaefer

whole building is … like an airplane held together by duct tape.” In addition, the software projects energy usage under current conditions, and any consumption that’s out of whack with projections triggers an e-mail alert to the building manager. This is something Karen Jawl of Jawl Development Corp. in Victoria appreciates. Before installing software from Pulse as part of its participation in BC Hydro’s optimization program, the company had to deal with a broken override switch in one its buildings. The override is designed to allow employees to have heat and light outside normal hours of operation, but when the switch broke, the boiler operated continuously for two months: an unnecessary use of natural gas. “Being able to identify [far more quickly] when problems happen in your buildings … is a huge advantage,” Jawl says of the software. “There’s also a good tenant-engagement tool, which allows tenants to be responsible for their energy consumption, too.” Giving managers more information to manage buildings is valuable, she says, pointing out, “In 2009, we decreased our energy consumption by 18 per cent and expect to reduce it a further five per cent in 2010.” Theodor Sterling Associates (TSA) also caters to the increased interest in benchmarking, but within its own field of indoor air quality (IAQ), another important element of a building’s performance. British Columbian law requires the annual testing of IAQ, which can have a critical impact on employee well-being and productivity. LungsoftheCity.com, a site TSA launched in March 2010, helps clients benchmark IAQ against local and regional averages: a decision-making tool for clients additional to the annual report TSA delivers. Toronto-based Sempa Power Systems Ltd., which operates a research and operations centre in North Vancouver, closes the management circle. In 2003, it developed software that drives a hybrid heating system now in place in 40 buildings throughout B.C. The system not only improves energy efficiency but also uses the most efficient energy for the job. The goal of the hybrid boilers is to displace propane – a common fuel in Whistler, for example – with cheaper electricity whenever possible. Sempa’s software tracks a building’s energy use up to an established peak, shifting between electricity and propane according to circumstances. This helps clients save up to 15 per cent on energy bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20 to 30 per cent: enough, in fact, to generate credits the Vancouver Organizing Committee was able to use to offset carbon emissions during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. “[B.C.’s] carbon tax is driving behaviour toward using hybrid heating systems to help reduce carbon emissions from [buildings], especially in the broader public sector where there is a requirement,” Sempa president Ron Dizy says. “It’s driving a new set of [behaviours] that we haven’t seen before.” Combined with specifications for LEED-certified construction and other measures by governments and private companies, such behaviours are poising B.C. to lead the development and deployment of technology to improve green building performance The region has two key advantages: a knowledgeable workforce and government support. The resources and networks of

Burnaby’s 3383 Gilmore Way, known as DiscoveryGreen, where clean technology is locally sourced

Helliwell and Kerfoot have supported Pulse’s development. Yet most cities don’t have the mix of talent Vancouver offers tech companies, Helliwell points out, and ample government funding (Pulse garnered $7 million last year) adds to the incentives that draw clean-tech companies here. “It’s really allowed us to accelerate development of the technology,” Helliwell says of what Vancouver has offered Pulse. “Most weeks, I’ll have a number of calls from private equity firms and B.C. firms, mostly from the Bay area, and sometimes New York. … [But] we’re more looking for … steady growth and keeping things in Vancouver.” Ą

Ripe apportunity Software for mobile phones and social networking comes of age

Applications

for mobile devices have seemingly become ubiquitous. Since Apple started allowing thirdparty apps for the iPhone and iTouch in 2008, over 100,000 have been created by developers ranging from individuals to large corporations. There are apps for games, personal productivity, navigation, shopping and – for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games – an insanely popular cowbell. And Vancouver’s on the leading edge. Dialing a deal Clunky maps and weighty coupon books are yielding to paperless shopping, thanks to Vancouver’s content developers. ChicWalks Media Inc. and ConQuer Mobile Inc. have a partnership to create a shopping app for smartphones. ChicWalks is a GPS-enabled mapping system that takes shoppers to the best places, chosen by a network of shopping experts who write informative, cheeky reviews. Chief executive officer Karen Henrich launched the company after noticing the lack of a comprehensive shopping guide in Paris, where she ran tours designed specifically for women. The app guides visitors and residents through Vancouver’s most popular shopping districts. With its numerous writeups in fashion, tech and business blogs, Henrich plans to expand ChicWalks to include Paris, San Francisco, New York, London, Toronto, Montreal and Milan. “It’s been amazing,” she says. Meanwhile, Green Zebra Vancouver has aligned with TB Vets to raise charitable donations through an iPhone app that

searches for eco-friendly businesses. The app connects to Google Maps and lets users rate businesses and write reviews. Businesses pay to participate and can offer mobile coupons for redemption at point of purchase. Green Zebra also offers a paper coupon book for sale. Available since fall 2009, the app serves as a fundraising project for TB Vets that raises money for respiratory equipment and care. “We are the only ones who are doing mobile coupons in conjunction with green businesses,” says Diana Squires of Green Zebra. Casting a network Conferences have long been a way for colleagues to connect, and a new iPhone app propels them into the digital age. Vancouver’s QuickMobile has introduced specialized apps that make conferences and trade shows more efficient for attendees and help the conferences promote events. QuickMobile launched the first such app in November 2009 with the PhoCusWright Conference, the largest travel conference in North America. Among its functions, the app allowed users to text other attendees, see what was coming up on the program and make comments using Twitter. Recalling that conference, chief executive officer Patrick Payne says about 40 per cent of attendees downloaded the app; he has 20 more conferences interested in specialized versions of their own. “We’re completely inundated with new business from events,” says Payne, who identified the capability for conference organizers to make changes to the program, which appear in real time to the user, as one of the app’s salient features. As Payne explains, “QuickMobile focuses primarily [on] the travel sector,” including meetings, events and film festivals, which, he says, are “another target market for us. The company has designed apps for the Sundance, Tribeca, San Francisco, Turner Classic Movies and Whistler film festivals. The company is currently working on existing contracts with other major festivals, conferences and travel operators such as Frommers to build iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and iPad apps specifically for these customers.” According to Payne, events and the associations that stage them share the desire for year-round interaction with their audiences.

Patrick Payne, chief executive officer of QuickMobile, whose apps offer dynamic ways to connect at conferences and trade shows

“So all they have to do when the big event comes is update the data,” he says. Sweet tweets HootSuite has an app that lets users manage multiple Twitter accounts. It makes it easier for them to personalize their layouts on Twitter, organize their social-media networks and track statistics. (For example, it allows users to track whom they’re following and who is following them.) The company is a spinoff of Vancouver’s heavy-hitting interactive agency Invoke Media, which created the Twitter client just over a year ago. “The genesis was an idea that you could manage multiple accounts, you could have multiple people managing one account, and you could be tracking trends and different components of your Twitter communication all from one dashboard, so it’s really designed with marketing campaigns, customer service and consultants in mind,” says Dave Olson, community director at HootSuite. The award-winning app has pulled in some high-profile clients, including the NBA, the Huffington Post, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Disney, Fox and even the White House, which has “a real mandate to open up data” under the Obama administration, says Olson. HootSuite has also moved aggressively into the mobile market, with apps available for the iPhone and Android. “People have downloaded it from over 100 countries, including Antarctica, so there is an enormous user base,” Olson says. Playing Tagga “Text messaging is the gateway to mobile marketing,” says Amielle Lake, chief executive officer of Tagga Media Inc. The company

provides a platform for advertising agencies whose clients want to engage in mobile marketing with tools like direct messaging, polls, contests and mobile websites. Ad agencies are clamouring to get their clients to go mobile, says Lake, pointing to a statistic showing that 25 per cent of 21 million Canadian mobile phone subscribers had smartphones in 2008, an increase of 12.7 per cent over 2007 (source: Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association). She says the success of Tagga, which has more than 30 clients after one year of operation, can be gauged by that of mobile marketing campaigns. One example: a mobile campaign by Old Dutch Arriba tortilla chips resulted in a signup rate of 80 per cent, as compared to the signup rate of 20 per cent on line. Facebook funds Ever organize an event and try to collect money afterward? Considering the difficulties encountered by clubs and sports teams sparked an idea. Natalie Sisson, co-founder of ConnectionPoint Systems Inc., sought a way to move money among social groups, an activity she calls “social commerce.” Her solution: an app on Facebook called FundRazr, which allows the user to create a page that serves as a platform for fundraising and campaigning and provides a means to collect fees through partner PayPal. Sisson says the app has quadrupled its user groups since going live in fall 2009, with most located in North America but some also found in continental Europe, the United Kingdom and Australia. “It’s very easy to install [and] set up, and the design and interface [are] very simple, yet it also has rich functionality,” Sisson says.

Vector Aerospace has laid claim to being the world’s largest independent provider of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) to helicopters. With its 16 locations in Canada (including Langley and Richmond), the U.S., the U.K. and Africa, it gives comprehensive worldwide support to helicopters by Sikorsky, Bell Helicopter Textron Inc., Eurocopter, AgustaWestland and Boeing. With a background in serving commercial and military customers on various types of gas turbine engines, components and helicopter airframes, Vector recently acquired an MRO facility in Johannesburg, South Africa. The company’s services to the oil, gas and mining sectors have remained in demand through the recession. Viking voyage Sidney’s Viking Air Ltd. has taken an unusual leap for an MRO group. After decades of supporting De Havilland’s heritage models (DHC-1 through DHC-7), which had fallen out of production, Viking acquired the rights to manufacture new models. In 2010, Viking celebrates its 40 years supporting De Havilland. On February 16, 2010, Viking president and chief executive officer David Curtis and manager of flight operations Steve

Stackhouse piloted in Calgary the initial flight of the first Twin Otter built in 22 years. Recalling that flight, Curtis says, “The aircraft performed exactly as expected. It felt very stable [and] fast, and even with my thousands of hours on this type, this new Series 400 Twin Otter brought a smile to my face.” Originally designed by De Havilland after the Second World War, the Twin Otter has had a legendary reliability in harsh Canadian environments, including the high Arctic. “This is a significant milestone, not only for Viking and our entire team, but also for our many customers,” says Curtis. “Flying the first new Twin Otter [manufactured] in 22 years is the culmination of many months of hard work and determination by our staff and supply-chain partners.” To support its expanding enterprise, Viking opened a facility of 84,000 square feet at Victoria International Airport in December 2009. It houses manufacturing and new corporate headquarters. In 2009, Cascade Aerospace Inc. of Abbotsford won a contract to design and manufacture a turnkey C-130J fuselage trainer for Canada’s Department of National Defence. This new training device will enable Air Force personnel efficiently to load an incoming new fleet of 17 C-130J Super Hercules tactical airlift planes. Cascade is a privately owned Canadian company specializing in comprehensive fleet and program management and in MRO, modification and engineering services for military and commercial-transport aircraft. Untroubled waters International Water-Guard Industries, Inc. (IWG) of Burnaby is now the world’s leading provider of water-treatment units for corporate, VIP and military-transport aircraft. “As the business-jet sector bottoms out and begins recovery, we continue to pay attention to our costs to ensure performance, especially with a weak U.S. dollar on the revenue line,” says David Fox, IWG’s president and chief executive officer. “While doing this, we are taking an aggressive look towards future opportunities and growth for the company.” Indeed, B.C.’s aviation and aerospace industry is proving resilient as it readies itself for global economic recovery.

Capital building As economic turmoil recedes, who’s backing tech? Basil Peters, chief executive officer of angel fund Fundamental Technologies II, sees no shortage of capital for quality startups in new media and IT

Opinions

range on what makes venture capital tick, but most agree that it’s been having a global reality check. In 2008, VC investment in Canada dropped 36 per cent relative to the previous year, to $1.3 billion. British Columbia saw its 2008 VC investment drop to $259 million, a fall of 18 per cent as compared to 2007. In 2009, VC hit its lowest level overall in Canada since the mid-1990s, although B.C. fared better than the country as a whole, its VC ranking third in Canada (after Quebec and Ontario) and second per capita and GDP. 2009 saw B.C.’s VC total $212 million, representing a share of 21 per cent of the Canadian total. As global economic crisis and a dearth of initial public offerings and mergers and acquisitions have meant poor returns for VC funds over the past decade, large financial institutions have moved capital away from VC funds into safer investments. Yet a major shift in how VC operates Photo: Dominic Schaefer

is under way, reflecting a new economic reality. It poses both opportunities and challenges to B.C.’s startups and entrepreneurs in information technology, biotechnology and clean technology. Gone are the exits worth hundreds of millions on which VC funds were predicated in the past. A leaner VC sector is emerging that experts hope will respond more dynamically to the needs of promising companies. “Economic Darwinism is having an impact on venture capital, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing,” says Basil Peters, chief executive officer of the angel fund Fundamental Technologies II, which specializes in IT. “Those huge VC funds worth $500 million or more will no longer exist, and instead you’ll see funds in the $50 [million] to $75 million range.” The good news for B.C. tech: investment capital is still there. According to Peters, no shortage of capital exists for quality startups in new media and IT.

Moreover, the March federal budget announced a change in the tax law that should make it easier to attract American investment. The much-disliked section 116 of the Canadian Income Tax Act required foreign investors to pay a tax of 25 per cent on capital gains earned when selling Canadian investments, or else they had the option of proving residency to receive exemptions. “Section 116 created unnecessary impediments for U.S. venture investors coming into Canada,” says Steve Hnatiuk, chief executive officer and founder of Yaletown Venture Partners. “With this final barrier to the free flow of capital falling, investing in Canadian companies will now be no different for U.S. venture funds [from] investing in U.S. companies.” Despite market conditions, Hnatiuk’s group has at present approximately $150 million under management in its two funds, Yaletown Ventures I, raised in 2003,

5/14/10 6:29:50 PM

The provincial government formally launched the B.C. Renaissance Capital Fund (BCRCF) in 2008, with the aim of allocating $90 million over five years. Administered provincially by the Ministry of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development, the BCRCF has the goals of leveraging capital and creating access to global markets and Yaletown Ventures II, raised in 2008. Both focus primarily on IT and clean tech. “Our job is to get in early, grow an enterprise and then get out through either an IPO or an M&A,” Hnatiuk says; “however, it has been a very difficult environment for venture capital to operate in, and there’s a snowball effect. Reductions in allocations from financial institutions [mean] less money for innovative companies that are significant drivers in the economy.” The impact of revising section 116 and easing the flow of U.S. investment remains to be seen. A potential boon for entrepreneurs, it could also threaten domestic VC funds as larger U.S.-based funds may move in to invest in companies. Either way, few B.C. fund managers expect an immediate flood of capital from south of the border. Much discussion has occurred in recent years about what troubles the VC market in B.C. Companies attempting to bring new technologies to market need VC to progress from innovation to commercialization. VC must be flexible, depending on the type of company receiving investment. On the one hand, an IT company developing social-networking software might offer a relatively short time horizon for investment, perhaps three to five years. On the other, a clean-tech innovator in fusion operates in a much more capitalintensive realm and in a sector where conventional fossil fuels and hydroelectricity are still firmly entrenched and investment returns in other options remain unproven.

Therefore, horizons for investors might realistically range from 10 to 12 years. Some observers feel that B.C. is a reasonably healthy scene for VC at the startup and early stages but weaker at the next level, at which companies are ready to grow considerably larger. Lacking adequate capital to manage risk, the theory goes, companies either stagnate or get gobbled up by larger ones. Recognizing this shortfall in local VC, the provincial government formally launched the B.C. Renaissance Capital Fund (BCRCF) in 2008, with the aim of allocating $90 million over five years. Administered provincially by the Ministry of Small Business, Technology and Economic Development, the BCRCF has the goals of leveraging capital and creating access to global markets. So far, it has committed to a number of VC fund managers based in the U.S. and Canada who manage collectively more than $2 billion in capital: Arch Ventures of Chicago and Seattle; VantagePoint Venture Partners of San Bruno, California, which manages the world’s second-largest clean-tech fund; Kearny Venture Partners of San Francisco; Tandem Expansion Fund, which has offices in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver and is led by founding partners Charles Sirois (chairman of the board of CIBC) and Brent Belzberg; VanEdge Capital, formed by Paul Lee, former president of EA Studios of Electronic Arts, Inc.; Wesley Clover, led by Terry Matthews, one of

Canada’s most successful tech entrepreneurs; and Yaletown Venture Partners. The BCRCF’s endeavours have already led to investment in B.C. firms including Angstrom Power Inc., Constructive Media, CoolEdge Lighting Inc., Indicee Inc., Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies Inc. and Delta-Q Technologies Corp. In B.C., tax credits provided under the Small Business Venture Capital Act support $57 million per year in angel investment to help small businesses start and expand. Under the same act, in conjunction with the Employee Investment Act, tax credits also support four retail VC firms, providing for up to $98 million annually in continuous early-stage investment for small businesses. Wal van Lierop is chief executive officer of Chrysalix, which specializes primarily in clean tech and energy. By mid-February 2010, its latest fund, Chrysalix Energy Limited Partnership III, had topped US$100 million. Its portfolio now boasts one British Columbian and four U.S. tech firms. Van Lierop believes that investors and innovators need to increase their recognition of B.C.’s strengths. He’d like B.C. to plan for the future by learning from the past, in particular the fate of the domestic pulp and paper sector. With an abundance of cheap energy on hand, B.C. companies failed to keep pace with countries like Sweden, which was busy developing more efficient production technology for pulp and paper. Consequently, B.C.’s industry languished with increasingly antiquated and inefficient technology, losing its place as a world leader. As to B.C.’s current position as a leader in energy, Van Lierop says that as the global demand for clean energy increases, the province must adapt and keep innovative to retain its competitive advantage. “In my view, this represents a huge opportunity for venture capital,” says Van Lierop.

Lifelines Wireless and health care converge, improving access to information

Imagine

that during your next medical appointment, your doctor suddenly whips out her cell, punches a few keys and stares intently at the screen. She’s probably not checking her messages. Rather, she might be scanning medicalpractice guidelines posted on a website of the British Columbia Ministry of Health Services, to double-check her instincts about your treatment. Called CliniPEARLS, this new offering results from collaboration between the ministry and the eHealth Strategy Office of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. Information that has traditionally occupied fat binders is now accessible by personal digital assistants as well. Available now, CliniPEARLS is an example of wireless medicine: what happens when health care embraces wireless communication. Benefits include better decision-making tools for practitioners and greater cost-effectiveness for hospitals and health-care systems. New tech, new relationships In an effort to place the province in a leading position in wireless health, the Digital Media and Wireless Association of BC (DigiBC) and LifeSciences British Columbia (LSBC) are working together to establish relationships with leading organizations active in wireless health, such as the West Wireless Health Institute in San Diego. DigiBC itself formed in December 2009 when the Wireless Innovation Network of BC (WINBC) merged with New Media BC.

The Digital Media and Wireless Association of BC plans to look at “the addressable market for B.C. companies” in the field of wireless in health care, says Michael Bidu, president

DigiBC president Michael Bidu says that more than 20 of its member companies are in the business of developing wireless-health technologies and services. “And there are another 20 or so that have expressed interest in expanding into wireless health,” he adds. “It’s a good start. The wireless-health industry is still in its early stages here.” Bidu says the North American market for the technology is large and growing fast: “It’s worth between $14 billion and 20

26—BCTECH 2010 BIV Magazines www.bctechmagazine.ca

`BCTech 2010_00.2.indd 26

billion per year.” He says the association intends in 2010 to look at “the addressable market for B.C. companies.” While attending the April 2009 show of CTIA – The Wireless Association in Las Vegas, Bidu was inspired by Eric Topol, chief medical officer of the West Wireless Health Institute, who spoke, in Bidu’s words, “about how wireless [would] revolutionize medicine” and argued “that convergence between them was at the Photo: Dominic Schaefer

5/14/10 6:30:01 PM

tipping point.” Explains Bidu, “That made me decide to start working with LifeSciences BC and other stakeholders to promote convergence and grow this new sector in B.C.” During her tenure as president of LSBC, Karimah Es Sabar described B.C. as “poised for global leadership” in wireless health. “Much of what happens” in this area, she predicted, would “happen in B.C.,” with its “leading-edge scientific capability.” In July 2009, Bidu and Es Sabar co-hosted the Wireless Health Forum in Vancouver to discuss the challenges to, and opportunities for, technological convergence in B.C. In October 2009, a B.C. delegation took part in the Wireless Health Pavilion at the 2009 CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment Conference in San Diego. Four B.C. wireless companies attended: Intrinsyc Software International, Inc., Guard RFID, Wireless 2000 and Simba Technologies. In November 2009, LSBC and WINBC sponsored a second Wireless Health Forum. One speaker there, Rizwan Kheraj from the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program, discussed the demand from the United States for e-health expertise and technology and how to access the billions of dollars in stimulus funds available for e-health. From ER to IT The success of tech convergence in B.C. will depend much on research conducted by such groups as UBC’s eHealth Strategy Office. Kendall Ho, its director and an associate professor in the division of emergency health, says the office’s staff of 20 includes representatives from a host of disciplines, including health, technology, psychology, behavioural science and health management. “E-health is interdisciplinary,” Ho says. “It needs groups working

together, including private industry.” Collaboration “leads to new approaches to doing things.” The office has 20 to 25 ongoing research projects. For example, an initiative involving the Ktunaxa Community Learning Centres is a three-year project evaluating the design and implementation of an innovative method of delivering health care and health information to several communities in the Ktunaxa Nation’s traditional territory in southeastern B.C. “We want to use information technology to its maximum potential in medicine,” Ho says. “We don’t want to get distracted by every new technology that comes along. We need to find and use the right ones.” Capital ideas Looking ahead, Bidu says B.C. has everything it takes to become Canada’s capital of wireless health and life sciences: “We have technical expertise, a world-class life-sciences cluster, excellent university labs and a committed government. But the different parts need to be linked together to enable B.C. wireless-medicine companies to grow and export the technologies developed here.” In November 2009, WINBC published for Industry Canada the BC Wireless Health Report: Contribution of Key Participants in BC’s Wireless Health Industry. The report’s recommendations included making a priority of wireless-health strategies, focusing on existing areas of technical expertise and taking advantage of stimulus funds available from U.S. health care and the Canadian government. Says Bidu, “In five to seven years, I hope to see 100 wirelesshealth companies in B.C.” •

TECH AND THE LAW

An ounce of legal prevention The right advice at the outset saves you money in the long run Brock H. Smith

ou’re a startup. You have a great idea, tons of ambition and the ability to function on very little sleep. Yet your bank account is almost empty. In your quest to preserve cash, you limit yourself to the most critical expenses: equipment purchases, research and development costs and, if you’re lucky, founder salaries. This strategy works well in many ways, but many founders fail to understand the value of the right legal advice. They either proceed without it or write their own contracts, often using templates found on the Internet. Yet foregoing legal advice can turn out badly for you and your business, causing complications and higher legal costs down the road.

Incorporation and corporate maintenance In British Columbia, you can incorporate a company yourself via a self-guided procedure posted on a governmental website. Yet without understanding the various options presented to you during incorporation, you can end up with deficient governing documents. For example, you may underestimate the number of shares needed for yourself, your employees and your investors, setting the maximum number too low. Or you may adopt the government-prescribed form of articles (rules of conduct) for your company, finding only later that this form lacks the flexibility you need for effective management. Governmental websites can assist with incorporation and certain ongoing reporting requirements, but they don’t guide you on how to fulfil ongoing corporate maintenance obligations, such as the requirement to hold annual general meetings (AGMs) or have your shareholders and directors complete the AGM business by way of written resolutions. Without comprehending why you need these documents or knowing how to meet these

ongoing obligations, you’ll have incomplete corporate records. As these problems persist, they’ll grow bigger and their ultimate cost to you higher. And the cost can be more than the legal fees required for their correction. A potential investor or joint-venture partner reviewing your corporate records in due diligence will quickly discover these deficiencies and may get cold feet about continuing a business relationship with you if he or she believes you can’t manage basic corporate requirements. Founders’ relationships At first, co-founders have a collective drive to move forward as a team. Over time, however, working relationships can develop cracks. You need a shareholders’ agreement that establishes a process for resolving disputes or smoothing the transition of one or more co-founders out of the company. Lacking such a critical agreement at the outset may mean that the cracks in these relationships may grow to the point that the whole project collapses. Intellectual property protection You need proper legal agreements to document ownership of your company’s intellectual property and restrict its use and disclosure, or you may find that someone else owns the property or has disclosed it to your competitors. Either way, this will be a deal-killer for a financing or buy-out transaction. Proper agreements with your employees and independent contractors will assure that your company owns all the work they’ve developed and that they are free of restrictions on their ability to work for your company, such as any non-competition obligations they might otherwise have owed to former employers. Also, have your potential business partners sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before you release any confidential company information. Beware,

though: an NDA isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” document. The form of agreement that restricts disclosure of company secrets by an employee or contractor differs from the one needed for a potential business partner. Corporate finance Many founders think they grasp the complex rules and regulations of corporate finance and believe they can manage their own financing transactions. Unfortunately, in many cases their knowledge is incomplete, outdated or just plain wrong. Canadian securities regulation has changed dramatically over the past years, particularly with respect to the nature and availability of exemptions from prospectus and registration requirements. Founders using outdated or homemade documents often find that the transactions by which their companies issued shares to family and friends and other early-stage investors contain significant deficiencies that are difficult or even impossible to correct. Most often, you won’t identify these problems until you’re in the midst of a significant transaction and need a solution in short order. Strategy Good legal counsel from the start can give your business the foundations and protections it needs to move forward. The right legal adviser will work with you to identify the specific issues you face and develop a plan to create the correct documents within a realistic budget. Ą Brock H.

TECH AND THE LAW

Tech liability: tales of the unexpected Chris Bennett

ot long ago, in the U.S., police reportedly picked up a boy who had apparently borrowed his parents’ car in the middle of the night to rent a video game. An officer became suspicious when he spotted an apparently driverless car zigzagging slowly between two lanes on a highway. The vehicle eventually collided with a parked vehicle and a police cruiser before coming to rest. There have been plenty of lawsuits against video-game companies relating to deaths and destruction caused by kids who were obsessed with playing violent games. If someone can sue a restaurant because the coffee is too hot, then it’s not hard to imagine someone’s suing the publisher of a driving game for allegedly teaching a kid how to drive. Game companies in particular spark a variety of unexpected liabilities. In such a fast-moving sector, it’s to be expected. For example, a Chinese online-game company was sued by a gamer whose stockpile of virtual weapons was stolen after his gaming account had been hacked. The company was ordered to replace the stolen property! Another potential liability for an onlinegame company lies in the shutting down of a game. It’s the company’s game, so the company should be able to cancel it at will; however, gamers spend time and money to acquire in-game property and

may feel they have good reason to take legal action for its loss. Another major unexpected source of lawsuits for tech companies is intellectualproperty infringement. It’s not uncommon for tech companies to choose new company names or product names without doing trademark clearance searches first. This will often result in the issuance of a

the player what direction to drive). Such technology is crucial to its business, and an unexpected lawsuit for Electronic Arts followed in connection with a driving game that used a similar directional arrow. This can be an annoyance for a large tech company, but it can be the end of business for a smaller one. There are plenty of other unexpected

There have been lawsuits against video-game companies relating to deaths and destruction caused by kids who were obsessed with playing violent games demand letter from an owner of a similar trademark. If a settlement isn’t reached, the tech company may have to re-brand at a significant expense and after losing goodwill in the discontinued brand. Just as common is for a tech company to develop software or other technology that functions a particular way, only to find out that a portion of the technology is already protected by a patent. It’s a mistake to believe that your product can function in a particular way just because other products on the market function that way, too. For example, Sega owns a patent that protects the use of a directional arrow in driving games (i.e., the arrow at the top of the screen that tells

sources of liability for tech companies: defamatory postings on blogs or socialnetwork sites; theft of confidential information; unauthorized collection, use or disclosure of customers’ personal information on line, etc. Many of these problems can be anticipated and avoided through proper contracts, employee policies, due diligence and intellectual-property searches and registrations. It also can’t hurt to warn customers to hide their car keys from their kids! Ą Chris Bennett is the head of the technology and intellectual property law departments at Davis LLP.

“Since ST’s early involvement in the development of the DisplayPort specification, we have envisioned the synergy of USB command-and-control functioning alongside DisplayPort.” – Alan Kobayashi, Director of DisplayPort Solutions, STMicroelectronic. Icron’s patented USB 2.0 Extension technology has actually been proven to work, primarily due to the 5m distance limitation of USB 2.0 and the need to support 15m DisplayPort cables and complex DisplayPort

control signalling with USB. The USB over DisplayPort technology, empowered by Icron, has significant implications in the desktop and mobile computing environments: ĄMonitors as docking stations – Enabling the connection of USB devices such as a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or webcam directly to a desktop monitor, eliminating the need for external docking stations and reducing cable count ĄZero Client Computing – Allowing up to 24 workstations (users) to simultaneously use one PC, all experiencing their own unique Windows 7 environment ĄDaisy-Chained Workstations – Enabling medical or industrial customers to host multiple computing sessions for patients/ automation on a single PC ĄUniversal Docking Stations – Facilitating docking stations that work with any laptop or netbook, eliminating the need for expensive proprietary docking stations and reducing the cost of laptops by eliminating proprietary connectors

ĄSingle Connector Mobile Devices – Streaming video and USB from one standard connector, saving space and cost in mobile devices such as smartphones, digital video cameras and mobile Internet devices Icron is offering its USB over DisplayPort technology via a licensing model and is engaged in business discussions with several OEMs and silicon manufacturers.

Critical Infrastructure Asset Management SewerVUE’s pipe penetrating radar (PPR) is a revolutionary technology for underground pipe inspection. It is the world’s first commercially viable system to enable confident inspection of large-diameter pipes (water, sewer, etc.) using radio waves. The SewerVUE system delivers a scalable, systematic and replicable application for evaluating the condition and safety of aging underground piping. SewerVUE’s ability to see through concrete has already been dubbed the Holy Grail for infrastructure inspection by industry insiders who have witnessed the technology in action. An average city of 1,000,000 people is likely to have 200 miles of water and sewer pipe larger than 18”, with a

replacement cost of $5-8 million per mile. This ensures a significant market for selling to infrastructure owners and service contractors world-wide.

Nexterra Systems Corp.

Clean Heat from Wood Waste

ruger Products LP, a large Canadian manufacturer of tissue and paper towel products, needed a costeffective technology to reduce its reliance on natural gas for heating. The location of its plant within a growing residential area in Metro Vancouver made it important for the company to find a technology with ultralow air emissions. To meet its requirements, Kruger

“Our New Westminster mill is situated in an urban area, so we needed the cleanest technology available.” – Frank van Biesen, VP Technology, Kruger Products LP turned to Nexterra Systems, a developer of advanced biomass gasification solutions. The Nexterra system supplies heat from locally sourced wood waste that is converted into a clean-burning syngas fuel

and fed directly into Kruger’s steam boilers. The Nexterra approach eliminates many of the traditional pollution issues with biomass combustion while offering greater wood fuel flexibility, better performance and lower operating costs than conventional combustion systems. The Kruger installation is the first commercial demonstration of Nexterra’s direct-fired gasification system and a first of its kind in the pulp and paper industry. Wood waste is a great source of biomass fuel because it is plentiful, inexpensive and carbon-neutral. While very few biomass plants have been permitted in Metro Vancouver in recent years due to pollution concerns, Kruger was able to obtain a permit because it could clearly show that Nexterra’s gasification technology would ensure far lower emissions than conventional systems. Fully operational, Nexterra’s technology

has surpassed all other conventional biomass approaches and reduced Kruger’s CO2 emissions by 22,000 tonnes per year – equivalent to removing 5,500 cars from Vancouver streets.

MDA

Passionate Team Saves Canadian Lives and Builds $100M Business

ewly formed teams can be amazingly successful when driven by passion and personal motivation. The opportunity to save the lives of Canadian troops overseas was the driving force behind the remarkable achievements of MDA’s UAV team. Project NOCTUA was a Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) contract that called for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to provide real-time surveillance and intelligence gathering capabilities that would help our troops avert roadside bombs in war-torn Afghanistan.

“It’s a very reliable platform and it’s saving a lot of lives.” – Col. Christian Drouin, Canadian Forces The fact that the service had to be operational within five months at a Kandahar installation site 11,000 kilometres away presented significant logistical problems. Rising to the challenge and regularly working 16-hour days, the UAV team managed to launch NOCTUA on time and within weeks the service was already being commended

for saving lives and equipment. The success of this project led to MDA immediately securing a similar contract with the Royal Australian Air Force. Unique to the UAV project is that the MDA team is actually delivering the contract as a service and not just a technology sale. MDA is responsible for maintaining the aircraft and equipment in Kandahar, and for training the military operators who actually fly the missions. Supported by

two key service contracts, MDA’s UAV team has grown to 80 employees and created a $100M business within two years. MDA is BC’s flagship technology company, currently employing 3,200 people worldwide, 900 of them in the province.

Recognizing an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the technology industry during the year

Delivering a Monumental IT Infrastructure Ward Chapin

budget, 3,200 staff, several IT partners and technology distributed over 120 sites, Chapin’s team delivered a project that ran on time and on budget, with no significant glitches. Chapin was the first technology employee hired for the Games and reported directly to the CEO, John Furlong. Furlong has said that the technology area under Chapin’s purview was one of the few that he did not worry about at night. Furlong had confidence in Chapin’s ability to deliver despite the complexity and criticality of the technology. Ward Chapin was born in Toronto but raised in Montreal. A graduate of McGill University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Relations, Chapin spent much of his career in various executive positions with HSBC. He is active on the board of the Chief Information Officer Association of Canada and currently lives in Vancouver with his wife.

Clients of VANOC’s IT infrastructure included nearly 7,000 athletes and officials, 50,000 workforce members, 10,800 media personnel and 3.5 billion TV viewers

2010 TECHNOLOGY IMPACT AWARDS

osting the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games was a milestone event for Vancouver and BC. The event required a supporting IT infrastructure on a scale that few organizations ever encounter. Responsible for overseeing the deployment, operations and dismantling of this complex environment was Ward Chapin, Chief Information Officer for the Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee (VANOC). By successfully managing this major technology deployment, Chapin significantly enhanced the reputation of BC’s technology, its talent, and most of all, the province itself. Chapin and his team were responsible for managing all of the VANOC business systems and the systems supporting the logistics of the Games such as accreditation, accommodation, security and transportation, including key integrations with immigration and security officials. Chapin’s team was also responsible for the coordination of timing and scoring systems and for working with broadcasters to deliver their technical requirements. However, Chapin’s biggest achievement was not the actual implementation and operation of the technology, but rather his ability to identify and recruit the required talent and use his leadership skills to create a productive, effective and motivated team. Clients of VANOC’s IT infrastructure included nearly 7,000 athletes and officials, 50,000 workforce members, 10,800 media personnel and 3.5 billion TV viewers. In total 275 million visitors came to www. vancouver2010.com, shattering the record of 105 million for the much larger Beijing 2008 Summer Games. With a $350M

FCV

HELPing to Build Community Networks

full-service interactive agency, FCV provides leadership in the BC community by taking a “we’re all in this together” approach to interactions with employee, client and community partners. FCV’s HELP Network – representing Health, Emergency Response, Learning and Participation – is a strategic framework designed to make BC a better place to live, work and connect. Health represents a disciplined approach to promoting positive lifestyles and best-in-class treatment for its employees and partners. FCV started the charity Kayak for a Cure five years ago to encourage teamwork, outdoor lifestyle pursuits and the gathering of community members to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. In addition, FCV provides company gym access and extended health benefits, and promotes walking and cycling to work. Emergency Response is FCV using its skills and resources to respond swiftly to a community need. Following the Haiti earthquake, FCV acted quickly to build a community platform for a local charity

supporting the cause. Closer to home, FCV implemented a social media strategy to save the HSBC Celebration of Light from being cancelled. Learning involves investing in the future of its people and building social capital within the organization and in the community at large. FCV supports continuing education and training; mentors

“To me, being a leader means more than growing a successful business.” – John Starkey, President & CEO business, technology and design students from three local universities; and plays a central and ongoing role in bringing TEDx events to BC. Participation means encouraging FCV’s people and partners to be active in our community, helping to build strong social networks. This includes FCV’s participation in the Canary Foundation’s annual

Derby, its sponsorship of Canadian athletes to help them reach their goals of participating in the Olympic Games and allowing its staff to volunteer, amongst other opportunities, at the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. At the centre of FCV’s HELP network is the belief that we’re all a part of something bigger – an ongoing movement that inspires people to achieve and to contribute to the communities in which they live and work. This passion to deliver the best translates into exceptional results for clients, staff and community groups. Based in Vancouver, FCV was founded in 2005 and is now home to more than 40 employees.
