We had the pleasure of working with some key players in the world of Fraser Valley land development to bring this 2018 Varing Magazine issue to life. It's always a challenging yet rewarding process to make sure that we're giving our readers something resourceful and we think that our contributors have most certainly delivered.

A huge thank you to everyone involved!

• Mayor Jack Froese for his time and comments on the updates to the Brookswood/Fernridge. It's always a great opportunity to meet with government leaders to gain a new perspective.
• Mark Neill from Abbotsford's City Planning department for his update on Abbotsford's development progress since last year's article with Mayor Henry Braun on the Abbotsforward OCP release.
• VP of Qualico Communities, Ryan Jones, for his candid answers in our Industry Influencer Q&A section. They provide some great insight into the joys and challenges of his role in land development.
• thank you to Rick Gendemann. As a partner with Elliott Manning, he was able to share helpful answers to some common financial questions with development real estate.
