VanEx Speaker Series presents Colin Hansen
November 30, 2016 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
This is not the Vancouver we used to know – It’s better!
‘In a fast changing world, Vancouver is becoming a truly global city. The media like to focus on the negatives but the opportunities far outweigh the downside.’
Colin Hansen is the President and Chief Executive Officer with AdvantageBC. In 1996, he was elected to the British Columbia Legislature and served as Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance from June 2008 to March 2011. He also served for almost four years as Minister of Health and three years as Minister of Economic Development, which included responsibility for the 2010 Olympics and the Asia Pacific Initiative.
He serves on two not-for-profit boards: the Arthiritis Research Centre of Cnada and the Fraser Basin Council. In addition, he is Chair of the Advisory Board for Retirement Concepts and is Chair of the BOard of Directors for the Transportation Investment Corporation (a provincial crown corporation).
