UBC Voyage - A Special Presentation

UBC Voyage

In April, in addition to our regular speaker, we were given a special presentation by Torbjørn Reitan Fyrvik who told us about the UBC Voyage Project.

Mike Brown, 2012 April

Mr. Mike Brown, Senior Planner, Strategic Planning will present to the Scandinavian Business Club on April 11th on the following topic:

Building a Better Airport for BC

Vancouver International Airport celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2011. Opened in 1931, the airport included a single runway, two hangars and a small terminal that consisted of an administration building and waiting room. Throughout the years YVR has grown and expanded into an award winning airport served by 67 airlines and connecting businesses and passengers to 119 destinations around the world.

Looking forward to the next ten years, YVR recently announced a $1.8 billion capital program. Mike Brown will explain the global context and the local benefits of this program.

About Mike:

Airports are operating in a much more competitive environment, including Vancouver (YVR). I am currently focused on strategies to respond, for example, by building closer relationships with its customers and creating new value propositions. This is particularly true in the case of 'transborder leakage', that is, with the strong Canadian dollar many Canadians are using US border airports. The bottom-line is that Canadian airports are going to have to work harder and hustle to win these customers back.

I have also built a forecasting model to predict airport passenger traffic in any country in the world based on two simple metrics: GDP/capita and tourism arrivals. These two variables explain 87% of the difference in countries' propensity for air travel.

I am currently half-way through an Executive Certificate in Strategy and Innovation at MIT. This is a rich and rewarding program. Also, to better understand some contemporary issues I'm brushing up on my international economics through a distance course with Athabasca University.

An Evening with Jay James, International Business Consultant, Philanthropist and Renaissance Man

Jay James opens the evening with a brief summary of his impressions of the future impact of the Canadian-European Trade Agreement, having had conversations with federal politicians closely involved with the deal. But at the heart of his talk is a story of childhood disability that led him on a miraculous journey of healing and self-discovery starting in Sweden and that today helps to enrich the lives of children across the globe. It also earned him a Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal for ‘Exemplary Citizenship’. Jay James concludes his presentation with pertinent notes about Swedish philosopher and nobleman Swedenborg and shares a secret lurking in our own Club!

Don’t miss this fun, fascinating and eclectic evening with Jay James preceded by a delicious Scandinavian dinner and an hour of networking and fellowship.

Jim Robson, 2011 April

Jim Robson, The Voice of Hockey

To many British Columbians, Jim Robson is the voice of hockey. Countless hockey fans literally grew up on the game while listening to Robson’s impeccable delivery of the on-ice action, whether over the radio or television.

Over the course of his forty-seven-year broadcasting career, Robson called the action for more than 2000 NHL games on radio and television. He broadcast four Stanley Cup Finals and five NHL All-Star Games for Hockey Night in Canada, but is remembered best for his twenty-four years broadcasting Canucks games on radio for CKNW. When the Canucks jumped to the NHL, he was there for the very first game on October 9th, 1970 doing play-by-play for the HNIC television broadcast. In his entire career, he never missed a broadcast due to illness.

Robson was only 17 when he walked into CJAV in Port Alberni to pursue a career in radio. He moved to Vancouver in 1956 to CKWX where he remained for 14 years and then moved to CKNW, his home for the next 24 years. During his career in sports broadcasting, he demonstrated versatility and ease with a range of sports including baseball, football, high school basketball , track & field and golf, but his passion was focused on hockey.

With Robson, listeners followed the progress of ice hockey in Vancouver. Wherever the team went, he was there, from the last game played at the Vancouver Forum to the first game at the Pacific Coliseum and subsequently, the team’s move to General Motors Place. He also brought hockey fever home with his broadcast of the first NHL games in Edmonton and Calgary for Hockey Night in Canada, not to mention his work for CBC, BCTV, VTV and CTV Sports Net.

His trademark line used to open every broadcast (“Good evening hockey fans and welcome to this National Hockey League game…”) became nearly as well-known as his regular nod to those listening at home: “…at this time it is my pleasure to welcome to the broadcast all the shut-ins, the pensioners, the blind, and all of those people who can’t get out to watch hockey games.” Robson’s lifelong dedication to his craft has been honoured numerous times, including induction into the media section of the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1992 and BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2000.

Robson retired in April 1999 and continues to attend Canucks games to this day as a spectator. He can regularly be found in the arena trading stories with fans and long-time friends. In 2005, he published a popular coffee table book, “Hockey Play-by-Play: Around the NHL with Jim Robson,” with Vancouver writer Jason Farris that told inside stories of Robson’s countless trips around the many NHL arenas over his career. When the Canucks honoured the original 1970-71 Canuck players on the 40th anniversary of the Canucks’ first NHL game October 9, 1970, the sell-out Rogers Arena crowd saved perhaps the loudest ovation of the night for Robson, the man who broadcast more Canuck games than any other.

Kathleen Maiman, 2011 September

Tribute to Dr. Theodore Maiman, Professional Focus, Personal Warmth

What was Ted Maiman, inventor of the world's first laser, really like as a person? I had the pleasure of being Ted's wife for 23 years; meeting him on a 747 flight after he was inducted into the Inventors Hall of Fame along with Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and the Wright Brothers. When we started talking I felt an immediate comfort as if I had known Ted all of my life. I will share with you the scientist and the profoundly kind and gentle man. I will explore why he was successful against very difficult odds and speak of politics, mischief, and the potent public relations 'spin' which played a role in his life. Through personal stories of Ted's life, you as business professionals, will recognize your own tribulations and the sweetness success brings.

Just before Ted swept me off my feet I finished an Emergency Medical Technicians program with the thought of becoming a Physician's Assistant. After my experiences in Real Estate sales and writing radio advertising, I found I had much interest in the medical field.
