This past year has been a challenge for most companies due to COVID-19, and Thinkspace is no exception. But we’ve learned some valuable lessons in the process, and are actually finding ways to thrive in this new normal.

On April 30, 2021, Dayna Wlasoff in Thinkspace’s Surrey office became a Registered Professional Planner (RPP). The designation is the end product of a long journey that started nearly a decade ago with a bachelor's degree in Architectural Science, led to a master’s degree in Planning, and eventually culminated in the rigorous RPP certification requirements, which included two years of work experience, a one-year mentorship, an ethics course and exam, and finally the professional exam.

We’re very pleased to announce that the Auto Canada dealerships project in Pitt Meadows has just received development permit (DP) approval after nearly three years. The approval is a major accomplishment for the project team, which includes more than a dozen collaborators.

The Vancouver Sun Run is a major event in the city each spring. Since its inception in 1985, it has become the third largest timed 10km road race in North America. It’s a great opportunity to be part of a fun community event and Thinkspace has put together a team for the last several years. We – along with the other 40,000-odd runners who sign up every year – were ready to participate in 2020, but the event was cancelled due to COVID-19.
