Recent Relevant Experience
Lake Superior Place Concept Study (2009)
Working with bain smith Consulting out of Thunder Bay, TCI participated in a planning and feasibility study for Lake Superior Place, a proposed multiple-use cultural facility located on the former Pool 6 grain elevator site on the waterfront. The concept consisted of a science museum / discovery centre devoted to the history and science of Lake Superior, a ‘creative commons’ where locally-produced arts and crafts could be sold, a restaurant with a scenic vista overlooking the lake, office space for community groups, and perhaps the University (Lakehead) or community college (Confederation College) locating classroom space or research facilities there. Despite the analysis showing that the concept could be economically sustainable (assuming no repayment of capital for the facility), the concept was put on temporary hold due to economic downturn.
The Canadian Institute: Strategic Planning in the Public Sector (2009)
Jon Linton, Director of TCI, spoke on Understanding Social and Demographic Trends and their Impacts on Strategic Planning in the Public Sector at a Canadian Institute forum held in Toronto in November of 2009. The overall topic of the symposium was “Public Sector Strategic Planning”. There were approximately 150 people in attendance at the session.
Barbados Concorde Experience Feasibility Study (2007)
Barbados was a regularly-scheduled destination for the British Airways Concorde supersonic jet, and thousands of tourists entered the country each year through its portals. To commemorate this era (from 1977 to 2003) the Government of the Barbados has developed at Grantley Adams International Airport a Concorde exhibit and experience, where tourists can now experience the look and feel of that time. TCI, in association with Reich + Petch Architects, were involved in a feasibility study that examined the markets for and likely utilization of a facility devoted to this experience. The exhibit opened to the public in 2007.
