The Fastest 50 the Vancouver Sun Wed 31 Oct 2007 Page: F2 Section: Special Section Source: Vancouver Sun
The Fastest 50 The Vancouver Sun Wed 31 Oct 2007 Page: F2 Section: Special Section Source: Vancouver Sun British Columbia's fastest-growing publicly traded companies These lists detail two pillars of B.C.'s economy: Those companies with the fastest growth and those companies with the strongest fundamentals, hence the Fastest 50 and the Strongest 50 combine to form The Vancouver Sun's Top 100. The Fastest list is all about balanced growth, not just success in one category of financial performance. Where other ranking efforts look solely at revenue change, BusinessBC's sophisticated analysis is based on formulas developed by James Brander of the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. It takes into account employee growth, revenues, stock performance, and earnings. The Strongest 50 concentrates on total assets, market capitalization and how the company performs based on those fundamentals (more below.) Twenty-five companies, such as Teck Cominco, have both strong fundamentals and continue to grow, so they qualify for both lists. BusinessBC's other project partner, Ernst & Young LLP, began by looking at all publicly-traded companies with headquarters in B.C. and/or a significant proportion of business activities located in the province. Most but not all companies are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the TSX Venture Exchange. Detailed financial information was drawn from annual reports and other sources. Employee numbers were volunteered by the companies and compiled by staff at The Vancouver Sun. Some 500 to 600 corporations were reviewed to arrive at this selection. James Brander's formula was applied to Ernst & Young's findings and the result was further refined to ensure that companies with balanced growth across the categories received due recognition. -

The Lower Mainland Food System: the Role of Fruit and Vegetable Processing
The Lower Mainland Food System: The Role of Fruit and Vegetable Processing by Grant Rice B.Comm., Royal Roads University, 2008 Research Project Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Urban Studies in the Urban Studies Program Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Grant Rice 2014 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2014 Approval Name: Grant Rice Degree: Master of Urban Studies Title of Thesis: The Lower Mainland Food System: The Role of Fruit and Vegetable Processing Examining Committee: Chair: Anthony Perl Professor, Urban Studies and Political Science Hannah Wittman Senior supervisor Adjunct Professor, Urban Studies Program, SFU. Associate Professor, Faculty of Land and Food Systems, UBC. Peter Hall Co-supervisor Associate Professor Herb Barbolet External examiner Independent food consultant Date Defended/Approved: January 08, 2014 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract In this paper I explore the transformation of the fruit and vegetable processing industry in BC’s Lower Mainland region from the late 1980s to 2011. I look at how the industry has adapted to the globalization of the fruit and vegetable processing sector and how it has evolved since the introduction of free trade agreements in 1989 and 1994. This research is based on the analysis of media reports, statistical data, survey results, and a series of interviews. The fruit and vegetable processing industry works within a globalized, competitive food system, while remaining an important component of the local food system. The paper contributes to the growing body of literature on Alternative Food Networks and Short Food Supply Chains in an often understudied link in that chain. -
