Kevin WoodleyHOST
So when you see the mask, the Garrett Tribute had that sort of shine to it.
Kevin WoodleyHOST
And then also down around the chin, there was Science World, which is obviously the sort of golf ball thing that we have in Vancouver, and it's usually lit up.
Kevin WoodleyHOST
And it was done with that chrome sort of shiny gloss finish.
Kevin WoodleyHOST
And so as the mask turned, it almost looked like the lights were on the science world were on and twinkling and reflecting.
Kevin WoodleyHOST
So it's a pretty cool mask.
Kevin WoodleyHOST
Levi's got another one in sort of more traditional blue, green, and white that you'll see on this road trip, I would assume, with the back-to-back games.
Susanna AllenGUEST
[laughs]
Julia HawkinsHOST
So now you're approaching Science World, and that means you're well into the second half of your race.
Julia HawkinsHOST
I think Science World is around the seven-kilometer mark.
Susanna AllenGUEST
I think so.
Julia HawkinsHOST
I should fact-check myself there.
Julia HawkinsHOST
Um, so the course winds around Science World and then heads back to Granville Island.
Julia HawkinsHOST
Do you have any suggestions on how someone should safe, stay focused through these turns, like, once fatigue is setting in?
Susanna AllenGUEST
If I am not mistaken, once you're in that area, if you kind of look down the water, pretty sure you can actually see the finish area.
FraserHOST
Today I am super excited because our guest is Shane Weckstrom, the founder and creative mastermind behind Brick Connections.
FraserHOST
Shane has been building with LEGO for years as a member of the Vancouver LEGO Club, creating massive displays for places like Science World.
FraserHOST
the Britannia Mine Museum, and TransLink.
FraserHOST
But even cooler than that, he spends his days teaching kids how to think like engineers and storytellers, building incredible creations without even using an instruction manual.

As have the panels that transformed Science World into a gigantic soccer ball, and now you can own a piece of it.

Some of the 131 panels that made up the beautiful dome, it was called, are being given to Science World, BC Place, Canada Soccer, and the province.
Don TaylorHOST
There's a shot.

Science World has been offering souvenirs made from the beautiful dome- The Adidas Triunda, the giant soccer ball covering that wrapped Science World during the World Cup earlier this summer.
Drew SavageHOST
$50 tote bags, $800 patio umbrellas, a $350 duffel bag.

All kinds of different merch items that they made out of the covering that was wrapped in the dome.

Mike DesjardinsHOST
Today, I'm joined by Sabelle Negress, CEO and co-founder of WebNames.ca, Canada's original .ca registrar, and one of the country's leading internet solutions companies.
Mike DesjardinsHOST
Sabelle is an accomplished technology entrepreneur, corporate director, and governance leader whose board experience includes the Royal Canadian Mint, BCAA, AGF Management, Science World, and the TELUS Vancouver and Coastal Community Board.
Mike DesjardinsHOST
She's also been recognized among Canada's top 100 most powerful women and inducted into its Hall of Fame.
Mike DesjardinsHOST
In our conversation, Cybele shares what she learned from decades of being both a mentor and a mentee, why the best mentoring relationships are reciprocal, and why simply asking someone to mentor you may be far less intimidating than you think.
Michael McCollHOST
Long live the car! That's what I say.
Michael McCollHOST
Anyway, walking over the Canby Bridge to the game, looked over at Science World and it's sad because the panels are coming off and it's getting dismantled and it genuinely is sad because it was such an iconic structure in the town.
Michael McCollHOST
Absolutely.
Michael McCollHOST
And it's going to be a slow process.
