Ensuring Peace of Mind: The Importance of Expert Inspection Before Installing a Security System

In an increasingly uncertain world, safeguarding your home or business against potential threats is paramount. While installing a security system is a proactive step towards enhancing safety and security, ensuring its effectiveness requires more than just purchasing and setting up equipment. Expert inspection before installation is crucial to identify vulnerabilities, tailor the system to specific needs, and maximize its protective capabilities. Let's delve into why expert inspection is essential for ensuring peace of mind and safeguarding your property.

Identifying Vulnerabilities

Expert inspectors possess the knowledge and expertise to assess your property thoroughly, identifying vulnerabilities and potential security risks that may go unnoticed to the untrained eye. From assessing entry points and perimeter security to evaluating existing security measures, expert inspection provides valuable insights into areas that require attention and reinforcement.

Customization to Specific Needs

Every home or business has unique security requirements based on factors such as location, layout, and potential threats. An expert inspection allows security professionals to tailor the security system to meet specific needs and address identified vulnerabilities effectively. Whether it's installing surveillance cameras in strategic locations, implementing access control measures, or integrating smart sensors and alarms, customization ensures that the security system aligns with your property's distinct requirements.

Maximizing Protective Capabilities

A security system is only as effective as its design and implementation. Expert inspection ensures that your security system is configured optimally to maximize its protective capabilities. From selecting the right equipment and technology to optimizing placement and coverage, expert inspectors leverage their expertise to design a comprehensive security solution that deters intruders, detects threats, and alerts authorities promptly in case of emergencies.

Compliance with Regulations and Standards

Depending on your location and industry, there may be specific regulations and standards governing security system installation and operation. Expert inspectors stay abreast of regulatory requirements and industry standards, ensuring that your security system complies with relevant guidelines. By adhering to regulations and standards, you not only enhance security but also avoid potential legal liabilities and penalties.

Cost-Effectiveness in the Long Run

While investing in expert inspection before installing a security system may incur initial costs, it offers significant long-term benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness. By identifying vulnerabilities and customizing the security system to address specific needs, expert inspection helps prevent costly security breaches, property damage, and loss of assets. Moreover, a well-designed and optimized security system can lower insurance premiums, saving you money over time.

We can say that expert inspection before installing a security system is a critical step towards achieving comprehensive security and peace of mind. By identifying vulnerabilities, customizing the system to specific needs, maximizing protective capabilities, ensuring compliance with regulations, and promoting cost-effectiveness, expert inspection sets the foundation for a robust and effective security infrastructure. Prioritizing expert inspection demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding what matters most and reinforces your readiness to address emerging security challenges proactively.

Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante says the city is going electric, investing $885 million over a three-year period into public transportation, municipal vehicles and charging stations so anyone with a battery-powered vehicle can plug in.

"When we look at the sectors that emit the most greenhouse gases, transportation is at the top of the list," Plante said on Monday.

Montreal will be adding more electric buses to its fleet while upgrading Société de transport de Montréal (STM) garages to keep the new fleet rolling.

The city's shared-bicycle service, Bixi, will have 2,100 electrically assisted bicycles within three years. Currently, 20 per cent of Bixis — roughly 1,900 — offer electrical assistance, allowing users to reach destinations faster and with less effort, the city says in a statement.

People with electric vehicles can expect more public charging stations to be installed, too. Since 2014, the city has added about 1,000 stations, and 1,000 more are planned by the end of 2025.

Finding the Ideal Thermostat Setting for a Cool Summer in Montreal

Finding the perfect balance between staying cool and keeping energy costs in check becomes a top priority for homeowners. The thermostat setting plays a crucial role in achieving this balance, as it directly impacts indoor comfort and energy consumption. But what is the best thermostat setting for summer in Montreal? Let's explore some guidelines to help you find the optimal temperature setting for your home during the warmer months.

Consider Comfort and Energy Efficiency

When setting your thermostat for summer in Montreal, it's essential to prioritize both comfort and energy efficiency. Aim to keep your home cool enough to stay comfortable while avoiding excessive cooling that can lead to energy waste and higher utility bills. The ideal indoor temperature for most people's comfort during the summer months is typically between 75°F (24°C) and 78°F (26°C).

Programmable Thermostat Benefits

Investing in a programmable thermostat can be a game-changer when it comes to optimizing comfort and energy savings. Programmable thermostats allow you to schedule temperature adjustments throughout the day, ensuring that your home is cooler when you're awake and active and slightly warmer when you're asleep or away. In Montreal's climate, consider setting your thermostat to a slightly higher temperature during the daytime hours when outdoor temperatures are at their peak, and lower it in the evening when temperatures begin to cool down.

Leverage Natural Cooling Strategies

Take advantage of natural cooling strategies to reduce the need for artificial cooling and keep your home comfortable without overworking your air conditioning system. In the evenings and early mornings, when outdoor temperatures are cooler, open windows and doors to allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home. Use ceiling fans or portable fans to enhance airflow and create a refreshing breeze. Close curtains or blinds during the day to block out direct sunlight and prevent excess heat from entering your home.

Optimize Air Conditioning Efficiency

If you have central air conditioning or ductless mini-split systems, ensure that your cooling equipment is properly maintained and operating efficiently. Schedule annual maintenance appointments to clean or replace air filters, check refrigerant levels, and inspect components for any signs of wear or damage. By keeping your cooling system in peak condition, you can maximize its efficiency and performance while minimizing energy consumption and utility costs.

Personalize Your Cooling Preferences

Ultimately, the best thermostat setting for summer in Montreal may vary depending on your personal comfort preferences, lifestyle, and household dynamics. Some individuals may prefer a slightly cooler indoor temperature, while others may be comfortable at slightly higher temperatures. Experiment with different thermostat settings to find the right balance between comfort and energy savings that works best for you and your family.

In summation, finding the ideal thermostat setting for summer in Montreal involves striking a balance between staying cool and energy efficiency. Aim to keep your home comfortable with temperatures ranging between 75°F (24°C) and 78°F (26°C), leveraging programmable thermostats, natural cooling strategies, and efficient air conditioning systems. By optimizing your thermostat settings and implementing smart cooling practices, you can enjoy a cool and comfortable summer while keeping energy costs under control.

Above Ottawa’s Roofs (No. 8)

The Library of Parliament's roots lie in the 1790s, when the legislative libraries of Upper and Lower Canada were created; these operated separately until the creation of the Province of Canada in 1841 and the collections were amalgamated and followed the provincial capital as it moved between Kingston, Montreal, Toronto, and Quebec City. The library was to be established in Ottawa after, in 1867, Queen Victoria chose Bytown as the new seat for her crown in the Dominion of Canada, and the Library of Parliament Act formed the institution in 1871.

Though construction of the present library began in 1859 and the collection arrived in Ottawa in 1866, work was halted in 1861 and was not completed until 1876, when the 47,000 volumes—including several donated by Queen Victoria—were installed. Around 1869, the builders discovered that they didn't have the technical knowledge to build the domed roof, meaning that Thomas Fairbairn Engineering Co. Ltd. of Manchester had to be contracted to provide a pre-fabricated dome within a few weeks; this gave the Library of Parliament the distinction of being the first building in North America to have a state-of-the-art wrought iron roof. Further, in 1883, the library's 300 gas lights were converted to electricity. However, such additional costs brought the library's price to $301,812, a sum added on top of the total cost for all the parliament buildings, which had already gone far above the original allotted budget. Within only 12 years, the entire roof was stripped of its slate shingles in a tornado that hit Parliament Hill in 1888, since then the roof has been clad in copper.

The library's contents grew over the next five decades and were saved from the 1916 fire that destroyed the majority of the Centre Block; the building was only connected to the main complex by a single corridor and the library clerk at the time, Michael MacCormac, secured the library's iron doors before the fire could spread into that area. Fire eventually broke out in 1952, in the library's cupola, and caused extensive damage through smoke and water. It was then necessary to perform structural work, as well as to install a replica of the inlaid parquet floor and dismantle the wood panelling and ship it to Montreal for cleaning and partial fireproofing. The Centre, East, and West Blocks subsequently received extensive climate control and electrical upgrades, but the library was largely overlooked.

The deficiencies, plus conservation, rehabilitation, and upgrading, were addressed when a major, $52 million renovation was researched in 1996 and undertaken between 2002 and 2006. Public Works and Government Services Canada contracted the Thomas Fuller Construction Company (operated by the building designer's great-grandsons) to manage a project that fixed leaks in the roof and crumbling mortar in the walls on the exterior, as well as extensive repairs to the wood and plaster work and the installation of climate control systems on the interior. Also done at the time was a nine metre deep excavation of the bedrock beneath the library building, in order to provide more storage space, mechanical areas, and a link to an existing loading dock. The project used precision survey, laser measurement, photogrammetry, and the then fledgling technology of Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application. After four years of work, the library was opened to the public, with tours of the library resuming on 5 June 2006,though Thomas Fuller Construction filed a $21 million lawsuit against the Crown for cost overruns.

“HELPFUL RESPONSE AT CLOTHING ROOM,” Montreal Gazette. November 16, 1932. Page 5. ---- Distribution of. Boots and Garments Being Speeded Up Toward Demand --- WORKERS ON OVERTIME ---- Central Emergency Clothing Department Effecting Remarkable Results in Transforming Old Material ---- Distribution of boots and clothing has been speeded up at the Central Emergency Clothing Department on Lagauchetiere street as a result of the appeal made through the columns of The Gazette last Saturday. Last week the organization was 1,100 orders behind, now they are catching up with the demand at the rate of 300 parcels of assorted clothing a day. 

The committee received over $250 during the week-end and they promptly invested this money in a purchase of boots, the demand for which continues incessantly. As The Gazette reporter arrived at the clothing room in the basement premises loaned by Desbarats and Company, an electrically driven boot repairing and finishing machine donated by the United Shoe Machinery Company was being hoisted out of a truck. By today it will be installed and working overtime in the effort to catch up with repairs on discarded boots and shoes which five cobblers have been frantically employed on. 

In the department are 20 sewing women and 11 sorters, packers, and collectors in addition to volunteer workers. As clothing comes in, it is fumigated and sorted. Rack upon rack of all kinds of clothing stand in rows; true they are hastily constructed racks of white wood knocked together at little expense. The sewing women spend their time on repairs and "make downs," producing unbelievably chic children's clothing from such things as white duck trousers. 

Bargains from the wholesale houses are avidly taken advantage of and huge quantities of woolen and cotton underclothing, socks, and men's overcoats have been bought at very reasonable prices. 

Here is a typical order from the Italian United Church, Just as it was checked by the packer: lady's overcoat, man's underwear, socks, three pairs boy's stockings, lady's dress, boy's suit, pair of man's boots, pair of boy’s shoes. Much of this parcel was new. 

DISTRIBUTION RECORDS. Another from St. Mary's Church consisted entirely of shoes for a family of five. The white collar people are also being looked after, as was seen by a requisition from the registration bureau for office workers in the Sun Life Building which called for six pairs of shoes and rubbers. Each individual is card-indexed and registered so that a record is kept of distribution and duplication is avoided. 

Requisitions are still pouring in at the rate of 100 a day, Mrs. A. H. Dalrymple, chairman of the committee, said. The clothing room is operated jointly by t e Family Welfare Association and the Emergency Unemployment Relief Committee to provide clothing for Protestant families suffering through unemployment and other committee has been enlarged recently to include representatives of each Protestant Denomination in the city and the new committee will hold its first meeting tomorrow. The De Luxe Taxi service is still carrying on the work of free delivery: a call to them will take much needed clothes and discarded shoes to their proper destination.

Canada F1 Grand Prix – New Paddock, Montréal

16 Mar 2021

Canada F1 Grand Prix – New Paddock

Architects: Les architectes FABG

Location: Montreal, QC, Canada

As part of a renewal agreement for the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix, the city of Montreal had to replace the existing temporary structures with a larger permanent building that would more adequately meet the needs of the event. The new paddock includes garages for the teams, offices for the International automobile Federation (FIA) and the promoter, a lounge area for 5,000 people and a Multimedia Center for journalists and broadcasters. All furniture and equipment are shipped from abroad and installed for the duration of the event.

To facilitate the completion of the$ 50 million project in the 10 free months between the two Grand Prix editions, the building was designed as an assembly of prefabricated parts including concrete panels, steel beams and columns, CLT wooden beams and panels, curtain walls and removable partitions. It can also be easily disassembled and recycled materials in case of Grand Prix termination.

Unlike other international grands Prix, the lounge areas have no exterior walls and are not air-conditioned, the interior spaces are minimally finished and the building must make responsible use of the public funds invested while equipping Montreal with equipment that reflects our identity and values for an event seen by more than 300 million people around the world.

Concept The building echoes the innovative structures that marked Quebec’s imagination when the 1967 World’s Fair was held on the site of Île Notre-Dame. The Terre des Hommes logo using the Y to represent men with outstretched hands remains an indelible symbol of this summer that marked the advent of modernity here. The wooden structure proposed for the roof is based geometrically on this memory and reflects our desire to move away from the images and values usually associated with motor racing and more specifically with Formula 1. The advent of new owners and executives at the head of the circuit has made possible the acceptance of this proposal, which corresponds to their desire to move away from the ostentatious globalized luxury in order to highlight the cultural and geographical specificity of each stage of the circuit and adapt it to emerging values.

The new Paddocks will accommodate up to 13 stables, each of which will have two front access for single-seaters, drivers and technical teams, as well as a service access located at the rear of the building for equipment or for quick access to the redeveloped hospitality area.

Designed without a permanent division, the garage space is modular according to the needs of the teams at each edition of the Canadian Grand Prix : temporary partitions will be used to create the desired divisions and thus suit the technical needs of this constantly evolving sport.

The building presents a completely new configuration of the space for sports commentators and representatives of the FIA and FOWC : the distribution has been redesigned to meet the need for stakeholder interactions with the action taking place on the circuit. Unlike the Old control tower which was made at height to offer good visibility on the track, the new tower is arranged horizontally on 2 floors right in the building, as new race control technologies now require less direct visibility.

A media space is integrated into the building rather than being located in a temporary marquee, in order to provide quality services to journalistic representatives, namely modular lighting, a suitable ventilation system and electrical and telecommunications connection boxes including optical fiber.

This media space is also a rental space made available to Montrealers for events outside the Grand Prix period in all seasons.

The building has been designed to multiply the views on the race track, but also on the entire environment of the park that surrounds it, with the development of several terraces on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

The new building being higher presents a 360-degree panorama to the spectators. On one side, a close-up view of Jean-Doré Beach, the Casino de Montréal, former Pavilion of France during Expo 67, as well as the former Pavilion of Quebec that is adjacent to it. In the distance, the city of Montreal, Mount Royal and its cross are visible.

On the other side, you can see at first glance the Olympic pool where groups of rowing, canoeing and dragon boats train. Behind, a narrow passage of the St. Lawrence River crossed by freight boats, then the South Shore of Montreal.

Universal accessibility Accessibility has been completely redesigned in the new building : the entire ground floor is on the same level as the ground and the floors are accessible via a panoramic glass elevator located at the east entrance. Bleachers and bathrooms are also provided to ensure universal accessibility and ease of travel.

Sustainable development The structure of the roof of 1425 m3 is made of wood, a durable and renewable material. Since, during its growth, wood captures CO2 from the atmosphere and sequesters it in its fiber, this volume of wood corresponds to the sequestration of more than 1,000 tons of CO2. Wood is thus considered carbonegative, which means that not only does the use of wood in construction generate low carbon emissions, but also helps to remove additional carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The waterproofing of the roof is carried out with an elastomeric coating covered with white mineral granules in order to limit the heat island effect and the temperature rise for the spectators.

The solar photovoltaic panels on the terrace total 64 m2 and should store enough solar energy in one year to compensate for the energy expenditure required for the complete building at a Grand Prix. The installed system will provide an average of 87,600 kw/hre per year and the estimated energy consumption during the Formula 1 event is 88,940 kw / hre.

Local Production The wood used for the beams, in the form of glued and cross-laminated (CLT), as well as for the decking, in the form of cross-laminated, comes from northern Quebec and values species and small pieces of wood to optimize the fiber of all the trees during the cutting. The precast concrete parts come from a Quebec company, as are the curtain walls and the steel structure. The division into several separate batches of the structure (concrete, steel and Wood) allowed the simultaneous production in the factory of colossal quantities of material as well as their erection in a very limited period of time and despite a harsh winter.

“Hydro Payments To Aird Upheld,” Montreal Star. November 5, 1932. Page 1 & 2. ---- Royal Commission Completely Exonerates Board in Purchase of Hamilton Company and Transactions With Beauharnois ---  POLITICAL PARTIES ALSO ABSOLVED --- TORONTO, Nov. 5 (C. P.)— The Ontario Hydro Commission acted with propriety throughout in its dealings with the Beauharnois Corporation and John Aird, Jr., and the purchase of the Dominion Power and Transmission Company of Hamilton, in the opinion of tho Royal Commission which probed into these transactions and last night issued its long-awaited report. 

Signed by Justices W. R. Riddell and G. H. Sedgewick, the report of the Royal Commission declares. Their Lordships, on the facts proved beyond controversy, have no doubt whatever of the propriety of the payment by the Hydro Commission of $50,000 to John Aird, Jr. in connection with the purchase by Hydro of the O'Brien power interest on the Mississippi and Madawaska rivers.

Regarding the payment of $125,000 by Beauharnois to John Aird, Jr. the commission finds "on the evidence submitted to us that while the payment of $125,000 was made to Aird (by Beauharnois) it had no relation to the purchase of power by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario." 

BEAUHARNOIS PAYMENT No matter what may have been the reason for the Beauharnois payment to Aird, said the report, “it would be grossly unjust and improper to find that a political party was involved or expected to have any advantage from this payment." The only foundation for such a contention was Mr. Sweezey’s declaration he was under the impression that the $125,000 was intended to go to the campaign funds of the Conservative party, said the report.

On the third matter which the commission was charged with investigating, the purchase of the Dominion Power and Transmission Company of Hamilton for $21,000,000 in December, 1929, Their Lordships declare: 

"We unhesitatingly find that the purchase in the circumstances existing at the time was in the public interest was made after full and adequate investigation was reasonable as to price and was not prompted by any motives other than the public good." 

The purchase of the Dominion Power System, indeed, “resulted in many important advantages to thecommission,” the report added. “It made possible the production of peak power at a lower cost than it could be supplied by any other means; it prevented the undertaking being acquired by interests unfriendly being acquired by interests unfriendly to Hydro, a real menace at that time; it did away with the keenest possible competition in a large and important area of the province; it prevented the duplication of plant and services on highways; it stopped the installation in the same area of equipment for 25 cycle current for Hydro customers and 66 2-3 cycle for Dominion, a condition that made co-ordination of the two systems more difficult as time went on; it prevented the Dominion Company making contracts for power and expending large sums on proposed works which would increase the purchase price at a later date without any corresponding benefit to the commission as a purchaser: and it also prevented competition between the two corporations for water that may in the future become available from Lake Erie.

ENGINEERS UPHELD “It is satisfactory to know that the engineering staff of the Hydro-Electric Commision are on all hand accredited with competency and perfect integrity; the contrary is not suggested but it is explicitly stated that no imputation is made against them in that regard. Nor is it suggested that there was any improper motive influencing everybody connected with the commission to have the payment made.”

Referring to the “services" of Aird discussed in the testimony, the commission said it was clear that except as to a small part of the time, the services were acts which were considered advantageous to the commission “though done with a view to Aird’s own benefit.” There is and can be no doubt that Aird down to the time he stood aside to permit direct negotiations was acting in respect of these services in his own interest and not in the Interest of the commission. 

“Whether such services were worth the sum paid we are not called upon to determine, but should it be of importance we have the sworn estimate of an eminently competent business man of great experience and of undoubted integrity that this was his Judgment." 

EVIDENCE CONTRADICTORY Referring to the $125,000 Beauharnois payment to Mr. Aird, the report said: “So far as appears, two persons and two persona only knew why this was was so paid and the evidence of these two persons is diametrically and irreconcilably contradictory. Sweeney (R. O. Sweeney, head of Beauharnois) swears it was given to Aird as a contribution to an election fund, a party fund, while Aird says it was given for services to be rendered to the Beauhernois Company under an express contract. 

"Were it our duty to determine the fact as to this there would be difficulty and we should require to have these witnesses examined before us in order to judge of their relative credibility. As the case stands, however, we have no right to decide or report as to the fact unless it can be made to appear this payment had some bearing upon the matter committed to us under our commission with regard to the facts now under consideration namely the payment of $125,000 by the Beauharnois interests to John Aird, Jr. and its relationship, if any, to the purchase of power by the Hydro Electric P. Commission of Ontario." 

The report points out the commission had power only to investigate this payment so far as it applied to the Hydro Commission and that Aird had been warned not to approach the commission and did not do so. 

“We have reached the conclusion," the report said “that no matter what may have bean the reason that induced  Sweezey to part with the money Aird did not receive it with any intention that it should be passed on to any political party or that should have any effect on the purchase of power by the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario and it clearly had no such effect. It would be grossly unjust and improper to find that a political party was involved or expected to have any advantage from this payment.”
