Victoria's unique climate

Victoria's climate is very unique in Canada. It's well known as the mildest city in Canada, but what really makes it stand apart from other parts of coastal British Columbia is its location in a double rainshadow of Vancouver Island and the Olympic Mountains. As a result, Victoria gets much less rain and snow, and significantly more sunshine than other places in coastal B.C. In fact, among major cities in Canada, only those in the southern Prairies get less precipitation and more sunshine than Victoria.

Just to highlight the mild part of Victoria's climate, I have included a picture taken on January 23, 2010 of some daffodils in full bloom here in Victoria. There's not too many places in Canada where you would see that in January!

Image

Some of you may also have noticed that the protest from some quarters has grown more strident or even outright rude, to some of the ideas presented at these future outlook sessions. The most vocal protests seem to be directed at predictions about the increasing use of machine translation, anything about “good enough” quality and the process and production process changes necessary to deal with the increasing translation volume. (There are still some who think that the data deluge is a myth).  Some feel personally threatened by those who speak on these subjects and rush to kill or at least stab the messenger. I think they miss the point that what is happening in translation, is just part of a larger upheaval in the way global enterprises are interacting with customers. The forces causing change in translation are also creating upheava...
