MSR completed the Preliminary Subdivision Permit Application for Shawnigan Estates!

We are proud to announce that on Friday, MSR Solutions, along with Christine Lintott Architects Inc. completed a large preliminary subdivision permit application for Shawnigan Estates.

The CVRD addressed and released a Regional Housing Needs Assessment in partnership with its member municipalities and electoral areas in 2021, which investigated the types of housing most needed in the region’s communities in both the present and the future.

Building on this assessment, the proposed development will bring various housing types and commercial business opportunities to Shawnigan Lake, in keeping with the CVRD housing needs and Shawnigan Village character.

Over the last year, MSR Solutions has been busy with the application process involving development permit, rezoning and subdivision applications to create a comprehensive housing, commercial, and institutional development.

In close collaboration with the client and Christine Lintot Architects Inc., MSR pulled together the six submissions this Friday.

Recent Weekly Win

Every Thursday afternoon, MSR has a weekly win/team-building meeting to wrap up the week.

This week, each team was given a set of Minecraft Lego to build without the instructions.

Both teams finished with only a little help by receiving the instructions for the last 5 minutes. Great teamwork, concentration, problem solving & structural engineering skills were utilized.

Recent Weekly Win

Every Thursday afternoon, MSR has a weekly win/team-building meeting to wrap up the week.

This week, 4 teams were each given 3 feet of string, 3 feet of masking tape, 20 raw spaghetti sticks & 1 marshmallow. The goal was to build the tallest free-standing structure with the marshmallow on top, in 20 minutes. The marshmallow could not be eaten or reduced in size in any way. All the other components were not mandatory to use completely.

The results

Taryn & Samuel won for tallest structure. Nazila & Anastasiia won 2nd place for stability and also for finishing under time. Jeff & TJ should have quit while they were ahead, building by far the tallest tower, though it was lacking in structural integrity.

This week’s weekly win wrapped up another great team effort using co-operation, innovation & creativity.
