What is a project or initiative that you want to move forward? Tell us briefly what it is, and what you need to further it.
Roger Colwill founded Green Drinks in 2006. His inspiration for all that he did was to generate a context for people to connect and communicate. This was based on his belief that within the story of each person are questions, and answers that will help others answer their own questions, and solve their problems

Infrared Camera makes Hidden Problems in Home Visible
Thermal Imaging Assessments using an infrared camera are now available for home and building owners as well as contractors seeking solutions for high energy bills or moisture problems, or wanting to verify the quality of construction or renovations.
“People are typically amazed to see how heat is moving through – and out of – their homes and buildings,” says Torsten Reimann, Certified Thermographer and Energy Advisor with City Green Solutions. “The camera doesn’t actually see through your walls, but the heat patterns reveal what’s going on under the surface, finding issues you might otherwise need to tear your walls or ceiling open to see.”
During a Thermal Imaging Assessment, an infrared camera reveals:
· Low levels of, improperly installed, degraded, or wet insulation in roofs, walls, ceilings, floors, and foundations
· Air leakage/heat loss around doors, windows, walls, floors and penetrations in the building envelope
Leaking radiant floor heating
City Green’s Thermal Imaging service includes a comprehensive report with thermograms and digital pictures of the findings and expert advice from a Certified Thermographer about how to fix the problems. City Green also offers quality assurance services and helps homeowners access grants and incentives for energy efficiency upgrades.
“As energy costs rise, many home and building owners are choosing to investigate and invest in energy efficiency,” says Peter Sundberg, Executive Director of City Green Solutions. “Drafts, insulation deficiencies and moisture problems can make a home uncomfortable, unhealthy, and expensive to heat. With a Thermal Imaging Assessment you can gain peace of mind by pinpointing the problems and getting to the solutions.”
To book a Thermal Imaging Assessment, contact City Green at 1.866.381.9995 x 103 or email healthyhome@citygreen.ca. To learn more, visit www.citygreen.ca/thermal-imaging-solutions.
Thermal Imaging Service is available in Victoria and Southern Vancouver Island. Service will be available in the Lower Mainland soon.
Bus Shelter at Richmond Road and Knight Avenue
After many months of having only a roof the bus shelter is finally repaired. Thanks for all the phone calls asking when it would be completed. Finally it is. I am sure you are all pleased to finally have some sides to protect you from the weather and things that go bump in the night. The red patio chairs were a nice touch. However they seem to have gone. Thanks to Saanich engineering for completing the project.
