handiwork of Urthe-

bought in, with others
likely to follow.

Cover Story
30 Under 30
One of the knocks against the Millennial generation—those born sometime
between the early '80s and the early 2000s—is that they suffer from a sense
of entitlement, expecting the world to hand them an oyster on the half shell.
But as our inaugural Top 30 Under 30 list proves, there are plenty of Millenni-
als out there challenging those perceptions. From civic leaders to inventors to
entrepreneurs, the young men and women profiled in these pages are standing
up and getting noticed—in B.C. and beyond. by Alexis Baran, Tom Gierasimczuk, David
Godsall, Kristen Hilderman, David Jordan, Jacob Parry, Lindsey Peacock and Abby Wiseman
