BUSINESS BRIEFS

LOCAL BUSINESS GRAD

NORTH VANCOUVER resident
Orion Anthony = recently gradu-
ated from a unique en-
Uepreneurial program from the
B.C. Institute of Technology
(BCIT) called the Venture pro-
gram.

Anthony was one of only nine
students to graduate from the
program which is offered to a rel-
atively small number of students
every year. Over the past five
years it has yielded incredible
results.

The Venture program helps
people learn the basics of running
a smal! business and also helps
them develop their own ventures,

Anthony operates a_ T-shirt
printing operation called Orion
Screenworks. The busihess designs
custom T-shirt graphics and pro-
duces garments that are purchased
mainly as promotional items to a
diverse customer base.

“l have three years’ experience
in the screen printing trade and
have received an award and a
bursary for my work in the graph-
ic arts program at Carson Graham
Secondary school,” said Anthony.
“The customers that [ have dealt
with in the past year have all been
excited about the graphics and the
garments produced for them.’’

BUSINESS MOVE

KEEN ENGINEERING Co. Ltd.,
has moved its operations from
West Vancouver to North Van-
couver after 20 years of working
from the same office building.

The move was made in response
to Keen’s need for a larger office
that would allow employees to
communicate more effectively.

Now located at 116-930 West
First Street in the Capilano
Business Park, Keen’s new office
offers a distinct advantage over
most other offices. An access
floor system provides a floor cavi-
ty in which communication lines,
power distribution lines and air
conditioning ducts reside.

Keen Engineering was founded
in 1962 as a four-person firm. It
has now grown to a company of
110 employees with its head-
quarters in North Vancouver and
offices in Toronto, Edmonton,
Calgary and Victoria.
