Meet Our New Intern: Mari

Each year, we at BikeHike get a new intern from the British Columbia Institute of Technology. This year's intern is Mari from the Tourism Marketing program. She'll be with us every Thursday and Friday until the end of May when we'll be holding a special event in Vancouver (more details to come). ;) Random Factoids About Mari: If Mari was to describe herself as a country / region, she'd choose Kurdistan (because she's Kurdish); she was born in a refugee camp. Her most exciting memory is from skydiving last summer. And lastly, if she could go anywhere she would choose Morocco.

In the Community: Trish Speaks at BCIT School of Business

Trish was invited to speak at the BCIT School of Business CEO Salon Series on sustainability yesterday with fellow panelists David Labistour (CEO of Mountain Equipment Co-op) and Meghan Spong (Publisher at Benjamin Brown Books). Each panelist provided insights into sustainable business practices in their respective industries, as well as what they felt needed to be addressed in business schools.

An interesting discussion took place about the concept of triple bottom line reporting, impacts of technology and regulation, and what companies have to do to remain competitive while maintaining sustainable business practices. The BCIT School of Business filmed the entire session at the Burnaby Campus, and will be making the video available to its students.
