Guy Saddy has written for magazines like Saturday Night, The Walrus, Travel + Leisure, enroute and Elle on topics from transmission rates on the Downtown Eastside to running over himself with his own car. Vancouver-based Saddy's latest feature, on his city's property market (“After the Crash and Other Nightmares,” p.30), was challenging. “When it comes to housing prices, there's so much at stake,” he says. “However this shakes out, we're at a crossroads now, that's for sure.”

Victoria photographer Nik West was born in New Zealand and moved to Canada at 13 but has also lived in Australia and Mexico. In this issue he shot images for two stories: “Harbouring Ambitions” (p.42), about up-and-coming Nanaimo; and “All foryacht” (p.123), a Weekend Warrior profile of Cube Global Storage founder Mike Weston. “We took the boat out for a short jaunt,” West recalls. “It was all pretty easygoing.”
