If restaurateur Vikram Vij weren't taking risks and tantalizing tastebuds in the culinary world, he might be on the Bollywood big screen—dancing and all

When do you get your best ideas? Early morning when no one else is up, or over a glass of wine late at night.

What’s your preferred method of communication? Face-to-face meetings or visits.

On what occasion do you lie? I never lie; life is too short, so I tell it like it is.

A self-proclaimed ‘treasure hunter,’ today Randy Smallwood spends more time in planes and boardrooms than getting his hands dirty in mining exploration camps

There’s something of the old pioneer in Randy Smallwood. Today the CEO and president of Silver Wheaton, the Vancouver-headquartered mining company, is needed more in the boardroom than in the field, but three times a year—“as much as possible”—he heads back to the mine environment where he spent much of his 28-year career.

Ever wonder how charity events pull in the big dough? We take a peek at a million-dollar weekend and hundred-thousand-dollar day

It’s a secret many entrepreneurs would love to know the answer to: how do you raise $100,000 in a day or $1 million over a weekend?

Philanthropy is big business in B.C. and sports tournaments in the province raise hundreds of thousands for charities. But it's not a one-man show—local businesses sponsor them with cash and in kind, and they attract participants by using corporate marketing strategies.
