The end of a legacy and a "New Beginning"
James Burke is retiring from a long career of moving IT into the right direction. Jim has been in the Airport business for almost an eternity and with his last achievement of transforming Peason Airport into a new century and being crucial of making it the most modern airport in the world this truly can be called a GREAT closure.
The entire Upper Canada committee is wishing Jim the best in enjoying his retirement and looks forward to a continued service as BCS UC Chairman.
