Something called “Tectoria” is advertising everywhere from Victoria International Airport to downtown parking meters and even the Canada Day “Living Flag” event on the lawn of the B.C. Legislature. Spouting cheeky slogans — “Home to 100 killer whales — and 1,500 killer apps” — it’s a branding initiative cooked up by Dan Gunn and the Victoria Advanced Technology Council (VIATeC).
Geoff Dickson became the president and CEO of the Victoria Airport Authority (VAA) in January, coming over from an executive position at BC Ferries. Leaping from seas to skies was a welcome change for the 51-year-old, given his lifelong love affair with the aviation business.
How do you raise $13,000 in 24 hours with no strings attached — no bankers, no credit cards … no illegal activity? Ask Victoria Westcott.
Tony Joe has been a realtor half his life. And, judging by the cache of decorations, awards, and accolades attached to his name, a very successful one at that.
Dust off those 40-year-old stoneware dinner plates, trendsetters — pottery tableware is back. Alison Ross is seeing the signs of it at her auction house as surely as she saw the stainless steel trend of the late 1990s and the “over-the-top gilt” period before that.

Peter Gustavson is turning a water glass in his hand, considering ways it could be made “better”… or sold better. “You might make it easier to hold,” the 54-year-old says, his eyes suggesting perhaps a rubber grip on the side, “or change the shape here,” maybe flaring the base to hold more liquid.
He runs a sharp pool hall, David Peacock does. The adjoining bistro is pretty natty, too. Located below sidewalk level at the corner of Douglas and View streets, Peacock Billiards and the James Joyce Bistro are an odd confluence of worlds. Entire, the configuration is an L-shape with Peacock Billiards being the longer line. It is a kaleidoscope of massive murals, and the tables are not the dinky beer-parlour models; rather, these are full, nine-foot tables, finished in beautiful woods. Peacock Billiards is the last remaining pool hall in Victoria proper. Ten pool halls bit the dust since 1994, and this establishment faces financial challenges, too.
Wherever Martin Leclerc has gone, success has been his shadow. That’s what he expects of himself, even in an industry rocked by every ripple of economic turbulence, from 9/11, SARS, mad cow disease, and a Canadian dollar with unexpected clout to collapsing markets and global recession.
