EDITOR
FROM THE
Welcome to the latest issue of Business World Magazine. Once again, we’ve spoken to
industry leaders in both the private and public sectors across the US and Canada, and
we’re excited to share their stories of success.
For this edition, we’ve turned our focus to Western Canada, the home of a number of ac-
claimed leaders from a variety of industries.
When it comes to steel fabrication, for example, one of the largest and most longstanding
names is the Edmonton-based Waiward. They were founded over 40 years ago, and they
have worked on some of the most challenging sites in the world. To learn about some of
those projects – as well as the secret to the company’s longevity and success – we spoke
to to Donny McCue, Vice President of Operations.
Meanwhile, in the field of erosion and sediment of control, we also highlighted Give Back
Contracting, a company that has also worked on some of the most interesting projects
in Western Canada and beyond. Constantine Grechko, a founding partner, walked us
through some examples. He also explained the very serious commitment to ‘giving back’
that gives the company its name.
Another leader in their industry is Evolve Design | Build, a Kelowna-based business that
is changing the way that the commercial interior design companies treat clients. They’re
doing this by providing a fully end-to-end service, one that’s unique to Western Canada.
Founder and owner Jules Galloway talked to us about her inspiration for that model, and
her journey to implementing it. She also talked about the company’s Tommie Award-win-
ning work in the mental health and addiction space.
Those profiles – and many more like them – can be found in the coming pages. We hope
you enjoy.
