4 B C B U S I N E S S . C A J U LY/A U G U S T 2 0 2 5 CONTRIBUTORS Though she's written for our partner publications Western Living and Vancouver mag- azines, this is veteran writer Sara Harowitz's first story with BCBusiness ("veteran" as in writing credits with Maclean's, the Globe and Mail, Vice and Well+Good, along with heading up the Georgia Straight, Mon- tecristo and SAD Mag). For this issue, she tackled the micro re- tirement trend resonating with many young 9-to-5ers (p. 48). "I'd never heard of micro retire- ment before reporting on the topic, and I can now say that I am a believer," she says. Mark Yuen is a Vancover-based photographer and videogra- pher. Yuen specializes in food and hospitality photography, so he was happy to learn that the subject for his first BCBusiness shoot, Klaryssa Pangilinan (p. 48), would be making fresh pasta. "I love that photography is a gateway to entering into people's lives and allowing im- ages to tell their story," he says. "It's a very honest way to get to know people." ON THE COVER The gold industry features prominent- ly in this year's Top 100, so I embraced it and commissioned a fantastic photo illustration by artist Randall Watson to reflect that. — creative director Jenny Reed JULY/AUGUST 2 0 2 5 $ 8 . 9 9 MAPLE LEAVE?
