Caihua Tracey Chen ===**//Mechanical Designer, AutoCAD draftsperson, CWB certified Welding Inspector, working at SKC Engineering, Surrey BC//** === I immigrated in Canada since 1998, completely fall in love with this country, and cherish the environment and quality life we have here. I learned how laid back Canadians are, however Canadian’s could shake the world in their own style. E.g., Canadian athletes won historical number of gold medals in 2010 Winter Olympics. Over a four year period while worked with Cascadia Sport Systems, as the principle designer and core team member of all projects involving hockey rink dashboards, seating installation and sports facilities for 2010 Winter Olympic venues in Vancouver. My favourite projects were UBC thunderbird Stadium, South Okanagan Event Center, Abbottsford Entertainment and sports center and Langley Event Center.Proud of our athlete’s achievements in 2010 Winter Olympic games in the same time feel fortunate I have been part of it from a distance. I am sure there will be more in the future, but that experience has been and will be the most memorable time of my life for many years to come, I am proud of being a Canadian. After the Winter Olympics, Canadian Olympic Development Association awarded Cascadia with the CODA Athletic Ice Complex development, in Calgary Alberta. My best experiences working at Cascaida Sports Systems are the designing and installation of this 102 seats, Hydraulic operated platform (picture at right) for CODA Athletic Ice Complex.
