B.C.'s Biggest Companies by Revenue

By Peter Mitham /

B.C.’s biggest companies by revenue

Workers keep coming to B.C. as the province posted a net increase of almost 62,000 residents in 2016, the biggest percentage gain since 2009. Meanwhile, slower growth in China and many parts of the world let B.C. keep shining brightly in relative terms. And therein lies the key to the success the province’s biggest companies enjoyed in 2016: despite efforts to hitch B.C.’s wagon to the galloping economies of other countries, B.C. hauled those nations forward by delivering the resources they needed and providing a destination for their goods and services.
