Profiles & Spotlights

British Columbia: the province that fairly bursts with industry, from fish to forests to minerals. On these broad shores, in these dense groves, BC's elite businesspeople walk tall – tall as the dickens. Each month we profile BC's captains of industry, the better to know them, the better to emulate them, the better to glean their knowledge. Online and in print, the BCBusiness spotlight searches to profile those making waves in business in BC. They are the flagships of our province and economy, the business leaders who put BC's dynamism and vitality on display for all to see.
