Sarah panted slightly as she reached the Billings station of the Gloria (Vic Transit) line from Sooke and blew a sigh of relief. There would be another coach in five minutes — there usually is, during rush hour – but on this occasion she had agreed to meet Janice at Langford.

Three years after our proposal to implement a Curitiba-like solution to the ever-worsening problem of rapid transit in the Greater Victoria region, we're pleased to see in today's Times Colonist that it is beginning to be realized, with the BC government's welcome announcement of funding for bus-only lanes, with flyovers over busy intersections. All that remains now is to see an expansion of this to a network that covers all the main arteries in the region, in accordance with our route map—and the adoption of the name, of course (which we offer, free of charge).

University Canada West Academies has tapped us to teach VectorWorks to students of their newly launched, comprehensive Interior Design course. We're delighted with the opportunity, because, extending over four terms of ten lessons each, this will be one of the most comprehensive VectorWorks courses we have had the privilege of conducting (judging by the curriculum, they are also getting an excellent grounding in all other aspects of interior design). By the time these graduates are finished, it's a fair bet they should be among the most proficient users of the software anywhere in the business. For more information, see the UCWA website.

We're pleased to announce our first course on VectorWorks (v11) at Royal Roads University, starting January 2007.
This is a course for working architects and other building designer professionals on how to leverage the hidden strengths of VectorWorks Architect to increase drafting output while reducing working hours & staff requirements, impressing clients at presentations, cutting down on errors requiring costly addendums etc.
All stages from conceptual design through working drawings & renderings are covered. As time is limited, this is not a full-blown course for beginners, but a compendium of real-world techniques and procedures requiring a working knowledge of VectorWorks (any version). A free copy of the Qualum Architect Workspace is provided.
For more information and to register online, see course details at the Royal Roads website.
