Last month, the House ofCommons introducedchanges to the

“Aeronautics Act,” provid-ing Transport Canada withincreased leverage to main-tain and enhance the safetyof Canada’s aviation system.

The proposed amendments,introduced by LawrenceCannon, Minister of Transport,Infrastructure and Communities,reflect new strategies for regulating avia-tion safety, including penalties.

Key amendments would also allowindividuals and operators to confiden-tially, and voluntarily, report on lesssafety-critical regulatory violations.

“These changes to the AeronauticsAct are essential to advancing avia-tion safety while reflecting the needsof the aviation community,” saidMinister Cannon. “Modernizing theact in this way respects the continu-ously evolving environment of avia-tion operations.”

Another significant change wouldbe to provide the Canadian ForcesAirworthiness Investigative Authoritywith new powers and duties, compa-rable to Transportation Safety Board

investigators, for flightsafety investigations possi-bly involving civilians inmilitary aviation accidentsor incidents.

“These amendmentswill give military flightsafety investigators thetools they need to meet therequirements of a trans-formed Air Force and tohelp ensure the continued

safety of both military and civilianpersonnel,” said Minister of NationalDefence, Gordon O’Connor.

The Aeronautics Act establishesthe Minister of Transport’s responsi-bility for the development and regu-lation of aeronautics in Canada, andthe supervision of all aeronautic mat-ters.

The amendments are the culmina-tion of extensive consultations withstakeholders through the CanadianAviation Regulation AdvisoryCouncil. The council’s primary objec-tive is to assess and recommendpotential regulatory changes throughcooperative rule-making activitiesconcerning Transport Canada’s civilaviation regulatory mandate.

P.O. Agreement #1676261

www.yvr.ca/authori ty /news/skytalk.asp

PRESIDENT’S CORNERBy LARRY BERG, President and Chief Executive Officer

YVR’s Safety LeaderNorth American Occupational Safety and Health

week was April 30 to May 6, and what better time tocelebrate the achievements of one of YVR’s own long-time safety leaders, airside safety officer, DaveLarrigan.

On April 25, Transport Canada recognized Davewith its prestigious 2006 Canadian Aviation SafetyAward. Dave’s been working with the Airport Authoritysince 1992 and has spent more than 50 years in theaviation industry. He started with the Royal CanadianAir Force in 1955, serving as a pilot, flight instructorand ultimately Colonel. After that, Dave spent 21 yearswith Transport Canada, where he rose to becomedirector general of aviation, Pacific Region.

We’ve long recognized Dave’s significant role inkeeping our airport safe for passengers, visitors andemployees. In fact, around here he’s known affection-ately as “FOD Father” for his pioneering work in estab-lishing a Foreign Object Debris (FOD) control programthat has become the template for airports around theworld. FOD as small as a wheel from a suitcase canpose a safety risk to aircraft, which is why it’s soimportant to control FOD in aircraft operating areas.

Among Dave’s other accomplishments at YVR arecommissioning the first CAT III runway in Canada,which allows aircraft to operate safely in near zero vis-ibility, and the development of Canada’s first dedicatedAirport Operations diploma program at the British

Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT).The safety culture Dave helped to establish is car-

ried on through traditions such as the FOD Walk, anannual event that brings together volunteers from theAirport Authority, airport businesses and BCIT in thepre-dawn hours to comb the runways, taxiways,aprons and nearby fields for loose objects and debris.This year’s FOD Walk took place on May 5.

We also continue to take a leadership role in utiliz-ing the latest technology to enhance airport safety. In2005, we acquired the Tarsier Foreign Object Debrisradar detection system from U.K.-based QinetiQ, mak-ing YVR the first airport in the world to own the sys-tem. Over the coming weeks, representatives fromQinetiQ will be in Vancouver working with the AirportAuthority to conduct field tests of the system, whichwill be in full operation by the summer, providing con-tinuous monitoring for FOD on runway surfaces in allweather conditions and at night.

Technology like the Tarsier system will complementthe efforts of each and every employee who, upon see-ing debris on the airfield or anywhere at the airport,pauses for the moment it takes to pick it up and,through that small action, makes an immeasurablecontribution to aviation safety. Tarsier is one more toolwe will use to enhance our safety culture and continuethe good work begun by leaders like Dave and carriedout each day by employees at YVR.

country. The new pricing provisions will allow Canadian and United Kingdomairlines to be more responsive to market demand.

“I am pleased with the new agreement and look forward to the potential ben-efits for Canada’s passengers, shippers, airlines and airports,” said MinisterCannon. “I am confident this further liberalization will allow airlines to bettermeet the needs of travellers, shippers, and the air industry.”

More than two million passengers fly between Canada and the UnitedKingdom each year. A minimum of 12 air carriers operate between the twocountries with more than nine Canadian cities and eight British cities receivingservice under the agreement.

“This agreement demonstrates the Government of Canada’s commitment toworking closely with the United Kingdom to ensure better access to markets,”said Minister Emerson. “It will provide economic benefit to the Canadian indus-try by contributing to its growth in trade and tourism.”

The new agreement, scheduled to come into effect on September 1, 2006, isexpected to result in a service increase. pilot, flight instructor and ultimately Colonel, before

leaving to spend 21 years with Transport Canada,where he rose to become director general of aviation,Pacific Region.

In 1992, Dave joined the Airport Authority as aconsultant, assuming the responsibility of airside safe-ty officer. In this role, Dave was instrumental in a num-ber of firsts, helping strengthen the aviation industrylocally, nationally and internationally.

During his time at YVR, Dave led the commission-ing of the first CAT III runway in Canada, whichallows aircraft to safely operate in near zero visibility,and helped promote and develop Canada’s first dedi-cated Airport Operations diploma program at theBritish Columbia Institute of Technology.

However, it is perhaps his leading-edge approach toForeign Object Debris (FOD) that has garnered themost attention locally. Loose objects and debris foundon runways, taxiways and aprons, such as a plastic bagor a suitcase wheel, are known as FOD, and though it

may seem hard to believe, are potentially damaging toan aircraft. If left undetected, objects such as these cancost the aviation industry $4-billion each year. Dubbedthe “FOD Father,” Dave successfully established aFOD control program that would become the templatefor airports around the world.

Dedicated to promoting and improving aviationsafety, Dave has been an active participant in numer-ous industry committees, task forces and conferences,working with the Canadian Airports Council, the AirTransport Association of Canada, Transport Canada,the British Columbia Aviation Council, the CanadianBusiness Aviation Association, and the NationalAssociation of FOD Prevention.

At the 18th Annual Canadian Safety Seminar inHalifax last week, Lawrence Cannon, Minister ofTransport, Infrastructure and Communities said thatDave had been selected for his “exceptional dedicationto the promotion of aviation safety [which] has beendemonstrated over the last 50 years.”

Travelling through YVR and feelinganxious about your flight? Why notslough off your stress with a pedi-

cure? One of Canada’s largest andmost prestigious spa chains, AbsoluteSpa operates three locations at YVR.

For the past five years, JosephLattanzio has been helping YVR pas-sengers relax and rejuvenate. As gen-eral manager of Airport SpaOperations, Lattanzio oversees theday-to-day running of the spas andmanages human resources.

Following high school graduation,Lattanzio decided to attend massagetherapy school; “I knew what I want-ed to do and I did it.” After movingfrom Trail, in southeastern B.C., toVancouver to “experience the bigcity,” Lattanzio began working atAbsolute Spa in 2000. “I have a pas-sion for helping people and the Spa isthe perfect fit for me. Every day isnew—there is always a guest thatrequires special attention and eachservice is so different.”

With locations in the DomesticTerminal, in the International

Terminal’s Fairmont VancouverAirport Hotel, and near the U.S.Departure Gates, life at the Spa offersthe opportunity to meet people from avariety of cultures and places. In fact,Lattanzio’s favourite part of the job is“meeting so many people—both pas-sengers and employees of the airport.”

Of course, spas are also celebrityhavens. During his time at AbsoluteSpa, Lattanzio has worked withnumerous stars, including Billy Boyd,Beau Bridges, David Duchovny,Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

From the anti-jet lag facial to thecirculator anti-swelling leg massage,YVR’s Absolute Spa locations featurecustomized treatments specific to

travellers. For passengers on a tightschedule, the Spa also offers acceler-ated treatments, such as the “tailwindexpress manicure,” and a 30-minutefacial massage and mask. The mostpopular service, however, is the chairmassage. Take a stroll past any ofAbsolute Spa’s YVR locations, andyou’ll likely spy a passenger relaxingat the hands of one of the Spa’s expe-rienced masseuses.

Despite his busy schedule,Lattanzio still finds time to samplesome of the Spa’s treatments. “I am ametrosexual, so I love going for astraight blade shave with a haircut inthe salon.”

With the Spa recently voted

YVR’s “best service” in the SkyTalkReaders’ Choice Awards, Lattanziosays he is proud of his team “for alltheir hard work over the years.”

Continuing upon the Spa’s suc-cess, a new location is scheduled toopen later this year in the DomesticTerminal’s C-Pier, post-security.

For those looking to break into theindustry, Lattanzio offers the follow-ing advice: “You have to really love achallenge and be ready to adapt toanything that is thrown at you. Havepassion to serve and help others.”

Outside of YVR, Lattanzio keepsbusy as chair of professional develop-ment with the Massage TherapyAssociation of British Columbia.

Earlier this month, CascadeAerospace received its first CC-130 Hercules aircraft. Cascade

Aerospace is under a $423.4-million,six-year contract with theGovernment of Canada to providemaintenance support services for

Canada’s fleet of 32 CC-130 Herculesaircraft. Several hundred employees,industry representatives and govern-ment officials, including CanadianAir Force representatives, arrived tocelebrate the event.

The contract, awarded in October2005 by the Department of NationalDefence (DND), requires Cascadeand Herc Solutions team members—Marshall Aerospace, DercoAerospace and Standard Aero—toprovide program management, engi-neering, maintenance, material sup-ply, and information systems supportservices to DND in accordance withspecific performance measures.

“Cascade understands the criticalrole Canada’s military plays in mis-sions around the globe and the strate-gic importance of ensuring that theHercules fleet is mission ready,” saidDavid Schellenberg, president ofCascade Aerospace. “We are ready tocommit our performance strengths—

on-time, on-quality, on-budget deliv-ery of aircraft—work for the specificpurpose of maximizing the missionavailability of Canada’s CC-130fleet.”

The contract has created more than100 new jobs, including new knowl-edge-based jobs, with most based atCascade’s Abbotsford facility.

The multi-purpose CC-130Hercules plane, considered the work-horse of the Canadian military, isused to transport personnel and equip-ment, for search and rescue missions,and for air-to-air refueling. Also usedto provide humanitarian support, theaircraft has been deployed toAfghanistan to support the Canadianmission.

We’ve all seen it on TV—and per-haps in real life. A child growsup in a wealthy household with

access to fancy toys, designer cloth-ing, an expensive car and a generousallowance. When it comes to spend-ing, the child is active, but when itcomes to earning, the child is apathet-ic. Instead of being a productivemember of society, he or she lives offfunds from the bank of Mom and Dadand shows a complete lack of drive orambition.

This modern-day phenomenon iscalled “affluenza” and is a concernfor many high-net-worth and middle-income parents.

Our household income falls withinthe latter category, although by muchof the world we would be consideredaffluent. My two teenagers regularlyenjoy nice holidays, wear designerjeans and own expensive athleticshoes. However, their ease of accessto these goods causes me concernabout how they perceive and valuemoney.

I am not alone in this concern. Asurvey of high-net-worth parents byan American investment bank in1996, determined that half of therespondents believed their children’sinitiative and independence werebeing undermined by the materialadvantages of their family’s affluentlifestyle.

So, how can parents prevent mate-rial advantages from negativelyaffecting their children? Teach yourchildren to respect the effort and timeit takes to achieve material wealthwith some simple steps:

Have ongoing discussions aboutmoney. If you want your children torespect wealth, talk to them about it.Discussions about money make chil-

dren aware of the importance offinancial planning. Teach them thatwith wealth comes responsibility. Inour family, for example, we try tohave a regular family “service proj-ect,” where we assist an elderlyneighbour, or provide help to disad-vantaged members in the community.

Give them an allowance. A modestallowance provides practical experi-ence in handling money and encour-ages financial discipline. However, beconservative - generous allowancesand unearned gifts contribute to afeeling of entitlement, making it hard-er for a child to become self-suffi-cient.

Encourage teenagers to find jobs.One of the best ways to respectmoney is to earn it. An honest day’swork teaches the true value of money,along with lessons in taxes, savingand spending.

Give children responsibility.Often, parents believe they’re doingtheir children a favour by makingfinancial decisions for them, or bywithholding rewards if the childmakes poor lifestyle decisions. In theend, such heavy-handed tactics rarelywork, and encourage dependency,rather than self-sufficiency. Whilechildren need guidance to be finan-

cially capable, they must be allowedto be responsible for their own finan-cial decisions—both good and bad.For example, our teenagers are givena clothing allowance- despite the factthat they do not always make the wis-est purchases, they are allowed thefreedom to make independent choic-es.

Consider income trusts. For par-ents concerned about their children’sability to manage a large inheritance,income trusts offer an attractiveestate-planning tool. An experiencedestate-planning professional can cre-ate an income trust that links pay-ments with the achievement of lifegoals, academic milestones, orlifestyle choices.

“Affluenza” is not simply a prob-lem for wealthy households, but asocial problem with far-reachingimplications. If children don’t learn torespect money, they will grow upwithout the desire or ability to createa better life for themselves, or others.Ultimately, affecting all of us.
