CONTRIBUTORS
Alyssa Hirose is a
Vancouver-based writer,
editor and illustrator. Her
areas of focus include
travel, art, fashion, food and
drink, which is partly why,
when profiling Santevia
Water Systems founder
Yvonne Anderson for our
Entrepreneur Of The Year
feature (p.22), Hirose asked
Anderson if she considers
herself a "water snob." The
founder admitted she is
pretty picky about the water
she's served in restaurants…
maybe there's an untapped
water sommelier niche
out there (pun very much
intended).
Dani Wright is the
managing editor of this
magazine and our sibling
publications, Vancouver
magazine and Western
Living. She profiled several
of the Entrepreneur Of
The Year finalists featured
in this issue (p.22). "There
are so many brilliant and
thoughtful innovators here
in our province—it was a
privilege to learn about how
they got to where they are
today," she says. "I'm not an
entrepreneur myself, but I
found when I interviewed
the EOY finalists that their
tena city was contagious."
