IN THE SPOTLIGHT: PROMOTING PUBLIC AWARENESS (PANEL DISCUSSION)
PLEINS FEUX SUR LES TRANSPORTS : PROMOUVOIR LA SENSIBILISATION DU
PUBLIC (TABLE RONDE)
Chair / Présidente : Heather Crewe, Manager of Professional
Development and Training, Ontario Good Roads Association, Mississauga,
ON
Transportation in Canada is at the frontier of revolutionary new
methods and technologies that will affect every aspect of the industry.
However, are we doing enough to promote public awareness of transportation
as a critical link to economic growth? Will we be able to attract
the next generation of professionals needed to help Canada compete
in the global market?
This panel discussion will examine recent innovative public awareness
strategies in Western Canada. Attendees will also hear about the
monumental logistics effort and transportation good news story of
a small municipality that played host to the world following the
September 11 terrorist attacks. As well, the panel will serve to
introduce a brilliant new star from the next generation of aspiring
engineers: Gina Gallant, the 16-year-old inventor of the PolyAggreRoad.
Il faudra sous peu intégrer au secteur canadien des transports
des méthodes et technologies révolutionnaires qui
auront des incidences sur toutes les facettes de lindustrie.
Ceci dit, consacre-t-on suffisamment defforts pour sensibiliser
le public à limportance du rôle primordial des
transports à lappui de la croissance économique?
Arriverons-nous à nous donner la relève voulue en
professionnels des transports, de manière à permettre
au Canada de soutenir la concurrence sur les marchés globaux?
Cette table ronde permettra dexaminer les récentes
stratégies innovatrices de sensibilisation du public qui
ont été mises en uvre dans lOuest du Canada.
Les participants pourront également se renseigner sur les
gigantesques efforts de logistique consentis par une petite municipalité
et les succès de celle-ci au titre des transports destinés
à accueillir des voyageurs du monde entier à la suite
des attaques terroristes du 11 septembre. Enfin, cette table ronde
servira de prétexte à la présentation dune
nouvelle étoile montante de la prochaine génération
dingénieurs, en loccurrence la jeune Gina Gallant,
16 ans, inventeure de PolyAggreRoad.
