EDITOR’S LETTER This month, Business Elite Canada proudly shines a spotlight on a transformative infrastructure project in British Columbia—the Pattullo Bridge Replacement Project. As our cover story, it represents a critical upgrade to aging transportation infrastructure, as well as a broader commitment to public safety, seismic resilience, and improved regional connectivity between New Westminster and Surrey. With its thoughtful design and community-focused features, the new bridge is a testament to modern Canadian infrastructure. Also featured in this issue is an update on the A/B Jetty Recapitalization Project at CFB Esquimalt. This ambitious undertaking is revitalizing Canada’s naval capabilities on the West Coast, modernizing essential marine infrastructure while aligning with environmental and sustainability goals. It’s an impressive example of how large-scale defence projects can reflect both innovation and responsibility. Amongst others, we also feature the Niiwin General Partnership Inc., a company rooted in collaboration between four Northern Ontario First Nations. Niiwin’s growing impact in mining, environmental reclamation, and heavy civil construction reflects a strong model for Indigenous economic development and industry leadership. Across all these features, a common thread emerges—collaboration and a com1mitment to building a better future. Whether it’s bridging cities, renewing national defence infrastructure, or driving Indigenous prosperity, these projects continue to shape and strengthen the foundation of our country. We hope you enjoy this issue. The BEC Team 3 APR 2025 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
