Publisher’s Note
With its focus on beginnings, the theme of this year’s Top 50 CEO awards reminds me of my own start in the publishing world. This coming August, it’ll be 30 years since we put out our first edition of Newfoundland Lifestyle. I’ll never forget it – the inaugural cover featured the winning rowing team in the Royal St. John’s Regatta, …Continue Reading
We need it built
It’s far from proven fact, but I’ve heard it said often enough that I’m convinced there must be some truth to it: there are more Atlantic Canadians living away than there are at home. How can that be? Because the people of this region are, by nature, hard-working and conscientious and they have always gone where work was to be …Continue Reading
Believe it
When it comes to investment and opportunity, Atlantic Canada is the place to be. Everyone who knows me knows that I am one of the world’s most determined optimists.

Jumping to the wrong conclusions
At first glance, this issue appears to indicate the Atlantic Canadian offshore scene is waning. Delving deeper, however, reveals an entirely different conclusion. Allow me to explain. The cover story shows that the Newfoundland offshore is past peak production for current discoveries. All three of its producing projects, as well as the soon to be developed Hebron field, were discovered …Continue Reading
Tell us no, I dare you
I admit it: Atlantic Canada is often contrarian by nature. The rest of the country can be awash in sunshine, and we get torrential rain…
This too shall pass
I am an optimist, and proud of it. I may be a publisher, but I’m not of the breed which amplifies disaster for dramatic effect or monetary gain. I prefer to celebrate success, and to share stories where adversity is overcome. My glass is always at least half full. I determinedly walk through life with a whistle and a smile. …Continue Reading
Publisher’s Note: On The Awards
“With each accomplishment and triumph, they further validate the Top 50 CEO awards – Atlantic Canadian corporate leadership has never been more deserving of celebration.”
