Canada Wide Media Named 2020 Burnaby Business Hall of Fame Inductee

The Burnaby Board of Trade  is pleased to announce that the 2020 inductee to the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame is Canada Wide Media, Western Canada’s largest independent magazine publisher and digital media company.  The Hall of Fame induction is a special honour bestowed jointly by the BBOT and the City of Burnaby each year to a widely-recognized, Burnaby-based business that has demonstrated long-term business success and has had a positive and significant impact on the community.

Headquartered in Burnaby for over 40 years, Canada Wide Media has been a leader in the field of publishing services for over 40 years.  Known for its own popular brands such as TVWeek and BCBusiness, as well as its robust custom publishing portfolio, Canada Wide Media connects millions of readers to compelling stories and content while helping local businesses and brands reach relevant audiences.  Led by its Chairman and CEO Peter Legge, legendary business and community leader, Canada Wide Media represents a true entrepreneurial success story.

“I am thrilled to see Canada Wide Media welcomed into the Burnaby Business Hall of Fame,” says Paul Holden, President and CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade.  “Only a select few businesses have been bestowed this top business honour, and I can think of no more fitting business or business leader to be welcomed into the Hall of Fame than Peter Legge and Canada Wide Media,” added Holden.

“I’ve always believed it important to not accept success or failure, as neither need be permanent.  Looking back over 40 years to when I first started this business with one bankrupt television magazine, I am humbled by what we’ve been able to accomplish together,”  says Peter Legge, Chairman and CEO of Canada Wide Media. “On behalf of the entire Canada Wide Team, thank you to the Burnaby Board of Trade and the City of Burnaby — we are truly honoured to receive this special recognition,” adds Legge.

Canada Wide Media will be formally inducted at the Burnaby Business Excellence Awards Ceremony on November 5th, where the winners of the 21st business awards will also be announced during a free, livestream event open to all across the Metro Vancouver community.  For more information email admin@bbot.ca or call 604 412 0100, and to sign up for the livestream event click here.
