This week we’re remembering the life and legacy of Brian Martin, who was the editor and publisher of the Journal of Commerce for many years and who sadly passed away on August 30th. Martin not only put his stamp on western Canada’s construction newspaper and defined its future path, he was also one of the founders of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s awards of excellence.
Daily Commercial News and Journal of Commerce national managing editor Vince Versace reflects on Martin’s career through his own words published in the Journal and in a tribute to the newspaper on its 100th anniversary, and JOC staff writer Russell Hixson and digital media editor Warren Frey discuss their experiences with Brian Martin as well as Russell’s column paying tribute to him.
