This year marked the first that the event took its talents to the ritzy Vancouver Club, with both rooms packed with people mingling and networking with one another. The program for the afternoon was also a Top 100 first, with two different presentations taking place. The first featured Canada Wide Media chairman and CEO Peter Legge inter- viewing legendary businessman Jim Pattison on his illustrious career. A highlight? When Legge asked Pattison how he motivates employees. The answer was one word: compensation. Then, BCBusiness editor-in-chief Nathan Caddell took the stage with an esteemed panel featuring four executives from Top 100 companies in Cloverdale Paint CEO Tim Vogel, Telus vice president, consumer health Juggy Sihota-Chahil, Translink CEO Kevin Quinn and Pacific Blue Cross CEO John Crawford. The conversation focused on how those businesses were able to steer through the pandemic, and how they're planning to move forward past it.
