The Vancouver Rail Task Force(VRTF) was established in 1977, under the auspices of WESTAC(Western Transportation Advisory Council), when the Government of British Columbia, the British Columbia Railway, and the VJCRU recommended at the Vancouver hearings of the Grain Handling and Transportation Commission, that a Task Force be established to improve the rail transportation system in the Vancouver Area. It lasted until 1982. Its objective was "to increase the reliability, speed, efficiency and safety of rail car movement through the Vancouver Terminal Area. "To do this, there was a project team created consisting of the Chairman, from WESTAC, a senior representative of railroad management, a senior representative of railroad labour, and one senior representative of the Federal Government. 2, record 2, English, - Vancouver%20Rail%20Task%20Force

Canada maintains the quality of Canadian grain in the system through the Canadian quality assurance system, which starts with variety registration before the grain is produced and enters the bulk handling system, and continues with various quality control mechanisms in the system such as inspections and grading standards and procedures. These quality control mechanisms applied to Canadian grain ensure that end-users get a consistent quality of grain from year-to-year and shipment-to-shipment. Because of this quality assurance system, the grades assigned to the grain serve to identify the quality, origin and end-use characteristics of the grain. It is also for this reason that Eastern grain and Western grain are handled separately in the system. 2, record 5, English, - Canadian%20quality%20assurance%20system

Le Canada maintient la qualité des grains canadiens dans le réseau grâce au système canadien d'assurance de la qualité, qui débute par l'enregistrement des variétés avant que les grains ne soient produits et n'entrent dans le réseau de manutention en vrac, et qui se poursuit avec divers mécanismes de contrôle de la qualité, tels que des inspections et des normes et procédures de classement par grades. Ces mécanismes de contrôle de la qualité appliqués au grain canadien permettent de s'assurer que les utilisateurs finals obtiennent du grain d'une qualité uniforme d'une année à l'autre et d'une expédition à l'autre. En raison de ce système d'assurance de la qualité, les grades attribués au grain permettent d'identifier la qualité, l'origine et les caractéristiques à l'utilisation finale des grains. 3, record 5, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20canadien%20d%27assurance%20de%20la%20qualit%C3%A9

Around 1875 new farmers began to arrive in numbers.... It soon became necessary to establish a grain handling system capable of moving the products from producers to consumers. One of the first steps involved building loading platforms along railway tracks. These were later replaced at various locations by flat warehouses able to store grain which had been previously cleaned and bagged. 1, record 9, English, - bagged

Vers 1875 de nouveaux céréaliculteurs ont commencé à arriver en grand nombre. [...] Il a rapidement fallu établir un système de manutention du grain pour acheminer les produits des producteurs aux consommateurs. Une des premières étapes a été la construction de quais de chargement le long des voies ferrées. Ces quais ont plus tard été remplacés à divers endroits par des aires d'entreposage où l'on pouvait emmagasiner le grain au préalable nettoyé et mis en sac. 1, record 9, French, - mis%20en%20sac
