We hope that our Top 40 not only shows off the achievements of some truly inspiring people, but also brings to light the idea that Edmonton is a multi-dimensional place. It's the sort of place where a dream can become reality, where a passion can become a viable business, a place that embraces new ideas and technologies, while cherishing traditional arts.
