44-670: Originally started as a grass-roots movement, the museum was founded with the passage of the Western Development Museum Act in 1949. The first home for the museum in 1949 was a refurbished hangar in North Battleford. Later the same year a similar structure in Saskatoon was converted into a second location for the museum. A third hangar was procured in Yorkton in 1951 and was likewise converted. In 1972,

88-538: A building can change which can effect the needs or wants for the space prompting a renovation. This is becoming more popular as buildings owners are renting or leasing floors or sections of the buildings to companies which have different spacial requirements than the previous users causing needed renovation. Renovations can also occur as companies increase size which could lead to needed additional retail, office, or other types of spaces. Similarly to homes other building owners could also want renovations to increased value, make

132-426: A building just to build a new one the building is reused. Reuse of buildings is not always desirable as it is often pursued to have a building designed for the many individual and unique needs building owners have but it is not always a necessity. Renovations can take a building and make it completely different from the old building just reusing the structure, which is often the largest contributor of embodied carbon to

176-408: A building. However, in order to be able to do this buildings need to be design durably and re-use. Designing for durability and reuse is designing for new buildings to be "long lasting, use-adaptable, and culturally valuable" to allow for the building to be kept for longer to minimize emissions from a complete rebuild. Having these ideas in mind while designing new buildings significantly increases

220-518: A community can be renovated if it is strengthened and revived. It can also be restoring something to a former better state (as by cleaning, repairing, or rebuilding). Renovation is very common in some places. For example, there are more than twenty thousand home improvement projects every year in Hong Kong, affecting more than a million residents (population of HK is around 7.5 million in 2023). The building renovation process can usually, depending on

264-619: A new contracted system for Air Combat Systems Officers and Airborne Electronic Sensors Operators. After the REquest for proposals going out on 11 February 2022, the new contract is expected to be awarded in 2023. Renovation Renovation (also called remodeling ) is the process of improving broken, damaged, or outdated structures. Renovations are typically done on either commercial or residential buildings. Additionally, renovation can refer to making something new, or bringing something back to life and can apply in social contexts. For example,

308-573: A number of permanent exhibits. One exhibit showcases 100 years of the province's history, featuring a timeline from 1905-2005 as well as displays from the mid-19th century Saskatchewan prior to becoming a province. This exhibit also includes presentations in the Saskatchewan Theatre and a log home that was originally built near Theodore, Saskatchewan before being lifted and transported to the WDM in 2002. Other exhibits include showcase rooms,

352-464: A professional can result in health effects, safety concerns, damages, fines, and increased cost due to having to hire a professional after self-work. Most builders focus on building new homes, so renovating is typically a part-time activity for such tradespeople. The processes and services required for renovations are quite specific and, once plans are signed off, building a new home is relatively predictable. However, during renovation projects, flexibility

396-473: A railway station mural, a Yorkton local history exhibit, a "Time Square" area designed for children, and a collection showcasing toys from the early 20th century "In a Prairie Attic: Bladon Family Toys".

484-676: A search option for all of the certification programs that are in use in Canada. In North America, most structures are demolished because of external forces such as zoning changes and rising land values. Additionally, buildings that cannot be modified to serve the functional needs of the occupants are subject to demolition. Very few buildings on the continent are demolished due to structural degradation. The Athena Institute surveyed 227 commercial and residential buildings that were demolished in St. Paul, Minnesota , between 2000 and mid-2003. Thirty percent of

528-505: A specific focus on aviation, which is appropriate given its proximity to CFB Moose Jaw . The aviation exhibits include a dedicated Snowbirds aerobatic team display. The aircraft collection includes an American Aerolights Eagle ultralight , an Avro Anson bomber trainer, Canadair CT-114 Tutor in Snowbirds markings, Canadair CT-133 Silver Star , Fairchild M63A3 Cornell , and a CT-133 Silver Star ejection seat . The museum also has

572-410: A variation of 18 degrees east and elevation of 1,900 ft (580 m). Six runways were listed as follows: RCAF Station Moose Jaw had two relief landing fields. One was located at Buttress, Saskatchewan and one at Burdick (Moose Jaw Municipal Airport) . In 1946 RCAF Station Moose Jaw was decommissioned and the aerodrome was returned to civilian service. Because of rising Cold War tensions,

616-450: Is a great hazard to the face and eyes especially, as well as other parts of the body. Use of power tools can cause adverse effects on people living nearby. Power tools can produce large amounts of particulates including ultrafine particles . Particulates are the most harmful form (other than ultra-fines ) of air pollution There is no safe level of particulates. Many tasks create dust . High dust levels are caused by one of more

660-412: Is also influenced by the purpose of basement renovation [1] . Depending on the significance of these changes a professional may be required, especially if any changes other than cosmetic work (paint or finishes) is required. Many local codes require a professional to complete work in the built environment such as structural changes, new walls, new plumbing, or many others. Doing these changes without hiring

704-629: Is home to the Saskatchewan Agricultural Hall of Fame . In 2005, the Saskatoon WDM underwent major renovations to its exhibit halls in celebration of Saskatchewan's centennial . In 2022, the WDM partnered with the Whitecap Dakota First Nation to co-curate a new permanent exhibit, "Wapaha Sk̄a Oyate: Living Our Culture, Sharing Our Community at Pion-Era, 1955 – 69". This exhibit documents

748-668: Is noted for its indoor recreation of a 1910s-era " boomtown ". Actual buildings from the era, combined with recreations, are kept in a climate-controlled environment and filled with artifacts of the time (in contrast to the North Battleford WDM, which has its buildings outside). Buildings on site include a homestead , police station , bank , newspaper office (with working printing press ), saddle shop, general store , and dentist's office . The museum also includes displays of vintage automobiles and farm equipment . The Saskatoon branch also has convention facilities and

792-563: Is now the NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) program. Many of the base's structures were renovated to accommodate new personnel and new training aircraft. Pilots from Denmark, Singapore, Great Britain, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Finland, and many other allied nations train at CFB Moose Jaw every year, ensuring the base's future with the Canadian Forces. In 2015, Bombardier sold its NFTC contract to CAE who are currently

836-599: Is often labeled as the most sustainable. This is because it sequesters carbon which if certified sustainably sourced will significantly reduce embodied carbon of buildings. This makes it a low emitting choice for a building material for an overall building and for renovations. Forest certification verifies that wood products have been sourced from well-managed forests. Most certification programs provide online search options so that consumers can find certified products—the Certification Canada program includes

880-478: Is often required from renovation companies to respond to unexpected issues that arise. Renovations usually require all of the sub-trades that are needed for the construction of a new building. In case of a so-called "fix-and-flip" (repair and resell) objective, an ROI (return on investment) can result from changes to fix a structural issue, to fix design flow yield, or to use light and color to make rooms appear more spacious. Because interior renovation could change of

924-587: Is operated as an air force base by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and is home to RCAF Pilot training and 431 Squadron , the Snowbirds, which is the RCAF's air demonstration squadron.

In 1968 the RCAF merged with the Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Navy to form the unified Canadian Forces . The base's name was changed to Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw , usually shortened to CFB Moose Jaw . From 1968 until the formation of Air Command in 1975, CFB Moose Jaw fell under

1012-624: The Moose Jaw Flying Club initially contracted to provide pilot training for the Royal Canadian Air Force ; however this was soon replaced by the far larger British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) which saw the Government of Canada acquire the aerodrome and completely reconstruct it into RCAF Station Moose Jaw in 1940 with the new aerodrome opening in 1941. Initially the Royal Air Force trained exclusively at

1056-594: The Saskatoon branch was associated with the Saskatoon Exhibition and was instrumental in the fair being renamed "Pioneer Days", which incorporated Pion-Era. By the 1980s, the WDM and the Exhibition began to distance themselves from each other. By the 1990s the WDM was no longer a part of the exhibition, which in turn all but eliminated any remaining Pion-Era elements; Pioneer Days became "The Ex" and, later, simply "Saskatoon Exhibition". The Saskatoon WDM

1100-557: The Western Development Museum Short Line, a 3 ft ( 914 mm ) narrow gauge railway outdoors on the property that utilizes the only operating steam locomotive in Saskatchewan .

The museum demonstrates how farmers worked

1144-415: The aerodrome was reactivated by the RCAF in 1953 as the site of military pilot training. RCAF Station Moose Jaw undertook additional construction to support its expanded personnel complement. The base was used by the RCAF and its NATO allies for pilot training, using both single-prop World War II-era Harvards and Canadair CT-133 Silver Star jet training aircraft. By the mid-1960s these were both replaced by

1188-735: The base under the RAF's No. 32 Service Flying Training School (SFTS) (ca. 1942) using Harvards , and later, Oxfords . No. 32 SFTS eventually broadened its intake to train 1,200 pilots for the air forces of Canada, the United Kingdom, Norway, New Zealand, Poland, France, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, the United States, and the Netherlands. In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed at 50°20′N 105°33′W  /  50.333°N 105.550°W  / 50.333; -105.550 with

1232-511: The building more energy efficient, green or sustainable, or to update the building. Sometimes shopping centres or shops are renovated to raise rent later. Wood is versatile and flexible, making it the easiest construction material for renovations, and wood buildings can be redesigned to suit changing needs. Few homeowners or professional remodelers possess the skill and equipment that is required to alter steel-frame or concrete structures. When looking at embodied carbon in building materials wood

1276-472: The building sector, including building construction and operation. This means renovations contribute to emissions and energy use of the building sector. These percentages are the largest portion of the total emissions and energy use globally. This makes buildings have the highest potential for decreasing these percentages as well as the largest need to decrease them. Renovations are also one way to do this. Renovations decrease emissions as instead of demolishing

1320-407: The buildings were less than 50 years old, and 6% were less than 25 years old. The four top reasons for demolition were "area redevelopment" (35%), "building’s physical condition" (31%), "not suitable for anticipated use" (22%), and "fire damage" (7%). Lack of maintenance was cited as the specific problem for 54 of the 70 buildings where physical condition was given as the reason for demolition. While

1364-507: The collaboration and friendship between the museum and the First Nation, beginning when "in the 1950s, the museum's first curator, George Shepherd, became friends with then Chief Harry Littlecrow to start Pion-Era, an exhibit in which Indigenous peoples could share their stories from their point of view. This project lasted more than 20 years before it faded". Photographs from Pion-Era were found by WDM staff in 2018, and their rediscovering

1408-422: The connection between their communities led to the collaboration on documenting the history. The project then expanded to not just record more information in the WDM archives, but create a display for the public. The exhibit includes Dakota artifacts, a horse and travois exhibit, photographs, and a historical narrative featuring oral histories and research. On October 11, 2022, the exhibit was officially opened with

1452-494: The direction of Training Command and served to house the Tutor Jet Training Program. By the early 1990s, CFB Moose Jaw was operated by over 1,300 employees and made a significant economical impact on the region, but pending cutbacks in military spending spread rumours of possible closure of the base. In 1994, the Government of Canada awarded Bombardier with a 20-year contract to support the delivery of what

1496-400: The extents of the renovation, be broken down into several phases. The phases are as follow. Projects involving renovation require not just flexibility, but a plan that had been agreed upon by multiple parties. The planning process will involve feedback from financial investors of the project, and from the designer. Part of planning will also entail the collection of data for the completion of

1540-473: The first purpose-built buildings were constructed to house new locations for the museums in Yorkton and Saskatoon, followed by the addition of a new museum in Moose Jaw in 1976. The Moose Jaw location of the museum is dedicated to all facets of transportation. Its coordinates are 50°25′11″N 105°31′50″W  /  50.4197°N 105.5305°W  / 50.4197; -105.5305 . This branch offers

1584-575: The following: Examples of high dust level tasks include: Some power tools are equipped with dust collection system (e.g. HEPA vacuum cleaner) or integrated water delivery system which extract the dust after emission. In the US, “About 75% of homes built before 1978 contain some lead-based paint. The older the home the more likely it is to contain lead-based paint . You should assume that any home built before 1978 contains some lead.” Currently, worldwide 38% of emissions and 35% of energy use come from

1628-511: The home's value as a stable source of income. Homeowners often renovate their homes to increase the re-sale value and to turn a profit when selling. Homeowners may also want to add renovations that make their home more energy efficient, green or sustainable. Also, over time, a homeowner’s personal preferences and needs may change, and the home will be renovated for improved aesthetics, comfort, or functionality. Other types of renovations also can be initiated for similar reasons. The user or owner of

1672-399: The internal structure of the house, ceiling construction, circuit configuration and partition walls, etc., such work related to the structure of the house, of course, also includes renovation of wallpaper posting, furniture settings, lighting, etc often times an interior designer is required as well. Many people renovate homes to create a new appearance. Builders may renovate homes to enhance

1848-608: The prime contractor. From 1970 until its disbandment in 1993 Moose Jaw had a Base Rescue Flight flying three CH-118 Huey helicopters. During a reorganization at AIRCOM in the late 1990s, CFB Moose Jaw's various AIRCOM units were placed under a new primary lodger unit called "15 Wing"; consequently the base is now referred to as 15 Wing Moose Jaw . 15 Wing Moose Jaw is home to the following units: The NATO Flying Training in Canada and Contracted Flying Training and Support contracts expire in 2027. Future Aircrew Training Program (FAcT) will replace these two contracts as well as create

1892-424: The project and then the project plan will be revised and given consent before continuing with renovations. Technology has had a meaningful effect on the renovation process, increasing the significance and strength of the planning stage. The availability of free online design tools has improved visualization of the changes, at a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional designer. The decision regarding changes

1936-581: The type of material used will determine the composition of the dust generated, the size and amount of particulates produced are mainly determined by the type of tool used. Implementation of effective dust control measures may also play a role. Use of angle grinder is not preferred as large amounts of harmful sparks and fumes (and particulates ) are generated when compared with using reciprocating saw or band saw . Angle grinders produce sparks when cutting ferrous metals. They also produce shards cutting other materials. The blades themselves may also break. This
