November 5, 2008
Premier Gordon Campbell, along with Tourism, Culture and the Arts Minister Bill Bennett toured a Victoria company that is using an innovative robotic woodworking process to build the unique interior of the new Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre. Joining the Premier and Minister Bennett were The Honourable Ida Chong, Minister of Technology, Trade and Economic Development and MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, the Honourable Murray Coell, Minister of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development - and MLA for Saanich North and the Islands, and the Honourable Pat Bell, Minister of Forests and Range - and MLA for Prince George North, and Warren Buckley, CEO of Pavco.

The group toured the facility to see how the Vancouver Island company met the challenge of fabricating and supplying the custom designed millwork for the walls inside the expansion.

They're also handing over their completed work to another local company - Island Precision - which has the contract to install the wood treatments inside the expansion.
