WE KNOW THE ROAD. WE’VE BEEN ON IT FOR 100 YEARS. At Aecon, our road to success has been a century long. We know about seamless road and bridge construction, the importance of exceptional raw materials and proven performance value of “just the right” asphalt hot mix. Superhighways and super structures require superior expertise.
LETTERS FROM THE ED by Doug Duke Executive Director, OHMPA Let’s get this party started! Welcome to the new look Asphaltopics! As part of the celebration of OHMPA’s 40th anniversary, we wanted to give our publication a fresh new look. To be frank, we’re considering it a work in progress and we’re going to continue to refine the design through the remainder of the year. However, I’m sure you’ll agree we’ve done a lot of things well out of the gate starting on the cover with a bold new masthead. We methodically chose a font with an appearance and feel more appropriate for our industry. Like asphalt, it’s strong, it’s black and it will do the job for many years to come. I assure you, the life-cycle cost analysis on it would be excellent! Turning to the internal contents of the magazine, we’ve chosen a pleasant editorial copy font that’s easy on the eyes and makes reading a breeze. Meanwhile, headlines are crisp and clean and overall, everything has been tidied up and compartmentalized in a way that will make more and more sense with each issue we publish. It’s been a tremendous team effort to bolster Asphaltopics and we truly hope you like what you’re seeing. Ours is an association magazine to be very proud of and our only goal is to make it better. On that note, we’re open to any feedback and new ideas and we welcome you to get in touch if you have any comments or concerns at all. We’re here to listen. In the summer 2013 issue, I not-so-subtly hinted we would be stepping things up this year in recognition of 40 years of OHMPA. The re-branded magazine you now hold in your hands is only a small piece of that effort. Our events this year will also be upgraded starting immediately with our AGM and Conference taking place at the Trillium Westin at Blue Mountain in lovely Collingwood. Watch for a more diverse and interesting line-up of speakers, a unique video series honouring OHMPA’s ‘founding fathers’ and a few other surprises sure to make the event a memorable experience. Further down the road, we’ve got a few new tricks up our sleeves for our Spring Operations Seminar taking place on April 16th and our Road Tour which is kicking off this year on April 24th in the City of Guelph and will also visit Kingston and Sudbury before returning to the GTA. The anniversary celebrations will continue later this year as we take our always popular summer golf tournament to a scenic 36-hole Club Link facility in August. We’ll cap the year off in true style with our Fall Asphalt Seminar down in Niagara Falls. Be sure to keep your eyes open for all the details as they become available. OHMPA’s 40th anniversary celebration is just beginning and you’re not going to want to miss a thing! SPRING 2014 7
