The company leads the BC market in industrial development, construction and management, having built over 20 million square feet of space since Keith’s fi rst cementblock shop.

Over the course of the dinner, members of the Beedie Development Group, with panel moderators Judi Cunningham, Executive Director of the Business Families Centre, and Darren Dahl, Chair of Sauder Marketing Division, in turn revealed a business and a family notable for its dynamic leadership, deep support for its people, and unwavering commitment to its values.
