This years list expands to activists and politicians and of course a huge congratulations to our CEO Prem Gill for again making this years top 50.

"The money is flowing into Creative BC—the organization got a $1-million boost from the province in February and a promise for $7.5 million to create a new music fund—making CEO Gill more of a power player than ever in the creative industries scene.
