Jimmy Pattison at the Power 50 of Vancouver Magazine

Jimmy Pattison received his Power 50 Award and spoke at The Vancouver Club. He thanked BMO and other banks for helping him build his business. “Pattison’s empire saw a big increase in revenue during the pandemic, as grocery stores like Save On and Buy Low thrived and forestry giant Canfor rode lumber prices to record operating income. He also continued to pour money into philanthropic endeavours and was vocal about both the urgency of climate change and the shortsightedness of federal proposals to tax the wealthy (he thinks it will only result in people and companies fleeing for the U.S.). It’s good to know that, at age 93, both sides of his mouth are working.“ - Vancouver Magazine
