is a dedicated initiative to reestablish a sustainable population of wild Okanagan sockeye salmon. The Okanagan Nation is committed to bringing our salmon back by creating partnerships and by integrating modern science with traditional practices. A critical stage of our Nation’s restoration initiative has been the opening of the Hatchery. Our 25,000 square foot Hatchery has the capacity to rear 8 million eggs. It is currently equipped to handle all fi sh culture aspects required for 5 million eggs from brood stock management until fry release. Sizing the facility for 8 million eggs allows for fl exibility in the future, or to allow for changes in the fi sh culture activities.The Hatchery includes all buildings, equipment and infrastructure required to collect, incubate, rear and release fi sh for the sole intent of
producing sockeye fry. The Hatchery is signifi cant for the program, as it poses the least risk for the fi sh population, allows for maximum egg-to-fry survival, and permits monitoring of the interaction between sockeye and kokanee.During the entire course the Hatchery mimics the natural temperatures of the river and no anti‐fungal treatments or chemicals are used.

Welcome to a night where we celebrate the Best Commercial and Industrial Buildings in the Thompson Okanagan and Kootenay regions!
The Southern Interior Construction Association has stepped forward as Title Sponsor of this prestigious event, which highlights buildings from the Thompson Okanagan region, from Kamloops to Osoyoos, including Kelowna, as well as the East and West Kootenays, meaning properties to the Alberta border up to Golden, and across through Revelstoke.
It is the second time the entire region has been involved in one event such as this, specifically designed to celebrate the best of the best commercial and industrial buildings.
Events like this would not be possible without our sponsors, and Re/MAX Commercial is our Gold Sponsor, as well as category sponsors Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty MNP LLP, Colliers Inter-national Kelowna and Business Examiner Thompson Okanagannewspaper, which coordinates the event.
Congratulations to all finalists and all of those nominated. The in-terest in these Commercial Building Awards has been very strong. We received a large number of individual nominations from all over the region. To be eligible for nomination, an investment, commercial or industrial building, development or renovation projects ad to have been completed between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2015.
The challenge of naming the finalists went to our team of independent judges, selected from the professional and development industries. Their bios are on page 3.
The criteria required a building or renovation project to complement the surrounding properties and area, be esthetically pleasing, include unique architectural features, and answer a specific development need within the community. The level of finish and choice in construction materials was also a determining factor, as was any environmentally friendly or green elements for possible consideration.
We are very excited about the future of these Commercial Building Awards, and the high level of quality development underway all over the region.
This program has been designed to showcase the finalists, and Business Examiner Thompson Okanagan will feature full coverage of tonight’s event, as will other media outlets in the regions.
Thank you for being part of such a special evening!

donna Hais’ newest p
roject is medica
l clinic
Hais breaks ground for women in the construction industry
By goody NIoSI
It’s
a man’s world – but Donna
Hais is helping make the con-
struction industry less so.
Hais is the general manager and
a partner in R.W
. (Bob) Wall L
td.
in Nanaimo. S
he is also president
of R.W
. Wall’s
development com-
pany, Canadian Cash Develop-
ment Corporation, and m
anages
10 strata corporations, all of w
hich
are medical b
uildings developed
by R.W. W
all.
In addition, she is
a Rotarian
and sits on four committees at the
Greater Nanaimo Chamber of Com-
merce. She is also the m
other of
four and is thoroughly involved in
all her child
ren’s activitie
s. It’s litt
le
wonder that at the beginning of
this year she was named one of Na-
naimo’s 20 m
ost powerful people
by the Nanaimo Daily News.
Hais’ current project is an
i mpressive u nder ta k i ng: a
30,000-square-foot m
edical
clinic adjacent to the Nanaimo
Regional General H
ospital. The
company purchased the land from
the City of Nanaimo in 2012 and
expects to break ground in Ju
ne of
this year with a completion date of
September 2014.
“My hope is that we’ll g
et a really
nice combination of medical and
dental specialis
ts along with a
group of general practitioners,”
said Hais, adding that she hopes to
see a pharmacy or other medical
services on the main floor as well
as a coffee shop and health and
wellness services.
“We get quite a few calls
from
people moving to town lo
oking
for space and our other buildings
are full,” she said adding that the
new building w
ill help Nanaim
o
become an even stronger regional
health-care hub.
Medical clin
ics have become
one of Hais’ s
pecialties. When
she first started working for her
father, Bob Wall, 2
0 years ago, she
likely couldn’t have fo
reseen this
particular future.
She worked her way up from an-
swering the phone to managing

The German Auto Import

to build again.
Having recently re-estab-

set up a temporary Porsche
showroom and built a brand
new BMW dealership in Vic-
toria, the company is about
to hire contractors to estab-
lish a new high-end Porsche
dealership and refurbish its
recently acquired Volkswagen
dealership.
spokesman Peter Trzewik

When the University of
Victoria’s presidential
search committee sat
down to find a new president,
it had a daunting list of criteria
that the candidate had to meet,
including:
•Academic and administrative
experience
•A value-based leader
•strategic and visionary
•A relationship builder
•Business acumen
•Fundraising
•student-centric
•High level o
f communication
skills
•A people person
“it would be accurate to say that
of the candidates that we reviewed,
[Jamie Cassels] was the best fit,”
said Susan Mehinagic, chair of the
university’s board of governors. it
was a unanimous decision and the
committee had 20 people on it.”
Cassels said the decision by the
committee and the board was “ex-
citing and humbling.”
“it’s wonderful to have people

It m
ight sound strange to hear
that a community as young as
Westbank is coming back to
life, but that seems to
be the case.
“Two words: new collaboration,”
said Norm LeCavalier. He’s a busi-
ness strategist at N.J. LeCavalier &
Associates Ltd., as well a
s the co-
chair of the Westbank and District
Chamber of Commerce.
“Our focus is on our m
ember-
ship base, many of w
hom are
merchants within the Westside,”
said LeCavalier. L
ike every cham-
ber, its goal is
to be “member-
centric” – focusing on what its
members are looking for. But m
ore
than that, they’re looking beyond
their regular contacts in order to
expand.
The chamber has recently start-
ed the process of rebranding itself
as the Greater Westside Board of
Trade.
Since LeCaval ier came on
board as co-chair in January, h
e’s
brought in a number of b
usiness-
focused board members and has
begun initiating feedback from
past and current members. T
he
results? The chamber’s member-
ship has grown from 250 at begin-
ning of year have to
300.
The chamber has participated
with the District of West Kelowna
in business walkthroughs: visiting
merchants and getting to know
more about their businesses. Not
only has the chamber reached out
to individual m
erchants, they’ve
also collaborated w
ith the West-
bank Centre Merchant’s Group,
a grassroots organization of key
business owners who would like to
see commerce thrive in downtown
Westbank. And they have a very
specific way achieving this.
“Our mission is to lo
bby coun-
cil to m
ove the civic centre to the
downtown core,” said Angela
O’Brien, co-owner of Esteem
Lingerie in downtown Westbank.

New collaboration looks to revitalize West Kelowna business

There aren’t too m
any young
entrepreneurs who cite fa
ith
as the core reason for their
success. Chris Priebe does, but then
the former youth pastor isn’t lik
e a
lot of other entrepreneurs.
Chris has launched m
ore than
one website and w
as an integral
part in the development stages of
Club Penguin, a multiplayer online
game for kids that was so success-
ful it w
as purchased by the Walt
Disney Company in August 2007
for $350 milli
on. On April 3
of this
year, his la
test venture, Two H
at
Security, and the company’s prod-
uct PottyMouth were awarded the
grand prize of $5,000 at the Ven-
ture Okanagan Spring Investors
Forum.
Okanagan College business pro-
fessor Steve Watson, w
ho chairs
Venture Okanagan, said Priebe’s
chat tools concept is just what par-
ents are looking for.
“Rather than focus strictly on
good and bad words, the tools ana-
lyze how people combine words
and whether – once read in
con-
text – the meaning is naughty or
nice. Essentially, w
hat they’ve done
is design a better tool to help stop
everything from cyber-bullying to
potential pedophile
s.”

Roger Bruce and planning con-
sultant Chris Hall are taking
steps toward a new develop-
ment in D
uncan along Government
Street between Herbert and Cairns-
more streets.
The proposed project will sit on land
that covers about three city blocks and
has been in the Bruce family
for m
ore
than 70 years. The proposal c
alls for
a mix of commercial s
pace and resi-
dential units.
Bruce, who is an in
vestment adviser
with National Bank Financial, said that
the idea of the new build
ing has been
floating around for several years. C
ur-
rently on the property is a 49th Parallel
grocery store as well a
s a Mediquip
store.
Bruce’s Grocery occupied the land for
about 70 years, first in the old build
ing
that is now occupied by Mediquip and
later the “new” 49th Parallel b
uild-
ing that the family erected about 40
years ago.
Talking about the progress of the de-
velopment, Bruce said, “
Who knows?
The economy is what it is; there’s lots
of commercial space available in
the
Cowichan Valley and nobody’s in a
hurry to do too much. W
e’re taking it
one step at a time with the city because
we haven’t been in any real h
urry.”
The project calls for 4,000 square
