A BIG thanks to CDS for allowing us to tour their newest Distribution Centre. 375,000 sq. ft. used very efficiently but full and clean. Very clean!! For more information you can look them up at www.cdsltd.ca or info@cdsltd.ca.
The event started at Milestones in Tsawwassen where Roy Ellis and Dan Beer welcomed the group then Steve Stark, President of Tsawwassen Shuttles and a member of the Tsawwassen First Nation, provided a brief history of the TFN treaty and many of the developments that have evolved since. Then Jennifer Perih, Manager of Corporate Affairs, Global Container Terminals, provided some details about the port facility and their proposal to add another berth (Berth 4).
When we entered the GCT facility, the group was joined by Daniel Howell, VP Operations and Colin Parker, Director of Operations of GCT Deltaport. With the assistance of Jen and Colin, Daniel explained details of the operation and fielded many questions as we toured Canada’s Largest Container facility while it was in operation.
The group then boarded the bus and drove through the TFN industrial lands, while Steve pointed out landmarks of interest and provided more information on the TFN economic development.
Although there was not a ship being unloaded at the time, there was still plenty of activity and lots of interesting things to see.
Upon exiting the facility, we stopped for a group photo before returning to Milestones where a few attendees gathered to discuss the tour and network.
In summary, we had a diverse group of 49 attendees, which included 10 students from BCIT and everyone enjoyed learning more about the TFN, GCT and the unique relationship that they share. All in all, it was a fantastic tour and the weather was perfect!
“March 30th 2023 CMHDS members were provided a tour of The Sobeys Campbell Heights RSC.
