The Telus building at 3777 Kingsway in Burnaby is being named in honour of Brian Canfield, the former president and CEO of the company who is now chairman of Telus’s board of directors.

The building will be known as the Brian Canfield Centre for Excellence in Telecommunications in honour of Canfield, who worked for Telus for 49 years.

“What we are achieving today has been made possible by leaders like Brian who have come before us,” said Telus president and CEO Darren Entwistle in a statement. “These people have built the legacy that they now bestow upon us.”
