Larry Vanderveen and Scott Roberts, Building a New Fiber Network
Posted by Vi Hughes on Mar 26, 2019
This Tuesday we were given a very interesting presentation by Larry Vanderveen, from Telus Broadband Technology, and Scott Roberts, from Telus Communications. Scott spoke about the changes that are coming to small business as a result of the shift towards internet technology and also the shift in customer demographics towards a younger age group.  
 
Telus is currently in the process of upgrading it’s copper based transmission system to a new glass fiber network. Their new network will bring the technology into every home in Edmonton, whether they are a Telus customer, or not. The new network will be able to carry much more data. Data usage has been growing at a rate of thirty percent per year. People have shifted from using physical storage for music, video and many other types of information to using web-based storage and this in turn necessitates the transfer of large amounts of data from web storage (the ‘cloud’) to the user.  Only a few years ago the biggest user of web storage was big business, but that has now filtered down to the individual.  The next wave of change will be the personalisation of all of this data by the use of artificial intelligence in marketing so that people can receive only the information that may interest them personally. The transmission of all of this data requires a much larger data ‘pipe’. Telus, in one internet minute, currently sees over one million facebook log-ins and over eight hundred thousand online purchases. In terms of businesses, online shopping is now the lifeblood of many.
 
Millennials, those between twenty-two and thirty-six years of age, are the up and coming customers of the future. They make up thirty seven percent of the current workforce and have a very different approach to how they look for and buy things.  They prefer to do their research online and compare items using the opinions of others that have been posted online in the various social platforms such as facebook. They use their smart phones for nearly all of their online interactions, so this means that applications specific to mobile platforms are needed. They also do not use credit cards to purchase items, preferring to use debit instead. They tend to be debt averse. They do a lot of their purchasing online, so businesses that want to sell to them need to have an online presence in several different ways. This can be done much more cheaply now than a few years ago and there are many companies that can help with this. The world of technology keeps changing and we need to keep changing along with it.

Inspiring Peace Event for Members and Exchange Students
Posted on Mar 29, 2019
 
This would be a great event to have youth exchange student participate in! It will be interactive and very inspirational. The $25 fee covers the workshop and lunch!

Paul K. Chappell is an international peace educator and serves as the Peace Literacy Director of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation. He graduated from West Point, was deployed to Iraq, and left active duty as a Captain.
 
Realizing that humanity is facing new challenges that require us to become as well-trained in waging peace as soldiers are in waging war, Chappell created Peace Literacy to help students and adults from all backgrounds work toward their full potential and a more peaceful world. 

Peace Literacy frames peace not merely as a goal, but as a practical skill-set that allows us to increase realistic peace in our lives, communities, nations, and the world. Peace Literacy also helps us fully develop our human capacity for empathy, conscience, reason, and realistic hope.
 
Chappell is the author of the seven-book Road to Peace series about ending war, waging peace, the art of living, and our shared humanity. The first six published books in this series are Will War Ever End?, The End of War, Peaceful Revolution, The Art of Waging Peace, The Cosmic Ocean, and Soldiers of Peace.

Lecturing across the country and internationally, he also teaches college courses and workshops on Peace Literacy and Peace Leadership and leads a Peace Literacy curricular development team for k-12 and higher education.
 
Chappell was raised in Alabama, the son of a Korean mother and a half-black and half-white father who was a veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars. Having grown up in a violent household, Chappell has forged a new understanding of war and peace, rage and trauma, and vision, purpose, and hope.
 
His website is www.peacefulrevolution.com; for more information about the Peace Literacy curricular project, visit www.peaceliteracy.org.

Free Footie Volunteers Needed: 2019 Spring Season
Posted on Mar 12, 2019
 
I am reaching out to your Rotary/Interact Club in efforts to find volunteers for the upcoming Spring Soccer Season.
 
Our organization is called Free Footie, and we provide an afterschool free soccer program. This upcoming season, we have 11 different game locations located throughout Edmonton with 60 schools participating and close to 2,000 kids playing.
Game Days are Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday from 3:45/4:00 PM – 4:45/5:00 PM.
Season runs from May 6 – June 21st.
 
The roles that we have available are Field Marshal, Referees, and Coaches.
 
The Field Marshal responsibilities include:
  1. Arriving 15-20 minutes before first assigned game.
  2. Inspect field before play to ensure it is free of objects that might be a hazard.
  3. Direct teams to appropriate game field.
  4. Inspect field after play and address teams to clean up before leaving.
  5. Be emergency evacuation lead.
  6. Report any incidents or hazards to Volunteer Manager.
 
The Referee responsibilities include:
  1. Watch over the game and enforce fair play.
  2. Inspect player equipment and field equipment for safety hazards.
  3. Referee certification would be an asset but not required.
This is a perfect role for someone who is new to refereeing and looking to learn in a less-pressured environment. This position is paid.
 
The Coaches role is seen as mentor for the kids. Soccer experience isn’t necessary but we do look for volunteers who are looking to be a positive role model/mentor and have had experience with kids.
 
All volunteers will require a vulnerable sector check from the EPS.
 
It would be fantastic if you can share this with your members.
If anyone is interested, they can sign up HERE.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
 
Thank you for all your help,
Adriana Martinez
