I was tipped off by Douglas Bastien yesterday to some chatter about PWGSC on Twitter. This comment caught my eye.
PWGSC is the Federal Department I work for.
I replied “@ruk Don’t know how much I can do about helping you find an interviewee, but if you tell me more, I’m willing to try to help.”
I was too late to actually help; Mr. Rukavina had gotten an interview and produced a great video profile of the Jean Canfield building in Charlottetown, PEI. The Jean Canfield building, as I just learned, is a really cool ‘green’ building that was built by Public Works and Government Services Canada. The interview was not with a PWGSC representative but an architect from the design firm contracted by PWGSC. He does a fantastic job of explaining the many features of the building that reduce it’s environmental footprint. The Jean Canfield building is 60% more energy efficient than similar buildings in its class.
I can only imagine that time was the issue with not giving the interview to @ruk, since his video is really good press.
The video is very interesting. I’m glad I messaged @ruk and learned about it. If nothing else, I know a little more about a project that happened outside Ontario Region where I work.
I used to monitor PWGSC on Twitter, but stopped because a) it was ‘tumbleweed’ quiet b) I switched twitter clients and forgot to set up the keyword for a live search. That’s how interesting the search had been. I’ve since resumed my monitoring.
