Headquartered in Burnaby, Canada Wide Media has been a leader in the field of publishing services for over 40 years and is known for both its own popular brands--such as TVWeek and BCBusiness--as well as its robust custom publishing portfolio. Led by its Chairman and CEO Peter Legge, legendary business and community leader, Canada Wide Media represents a true entrepreneurial success story.
“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.
