Chairman
Yuri Fulmer
Dedicated to growth and giving back.
Yuri Fulmer is not just a businessman; he's a force of nature, embodying the spirit of growth and community engagement. His journey began with a single franchise opportunity, and from there, he's relentlessly pursued success while making significant contributions to communities along the way.
From humble beginnings, Yuri has built an empire. Starting with that single A&W franchise, he expanded his portfolio to include dozens of successful restaurant ventures, Mr. Mike’s Steakhouse and Pizza Hut franchises across Western Canada. He holds nearly three dozen A&W franchises in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
In 2010, Yuri founded Fulmer & Company, a testament to his commitment to nurturing entrepreneurship and fostering growth. Today, Fulmer & Company stands as a beacon of success, owning and investing in a diverse array of businesses spanning hospitality, manufacturing, technology, and more. Their consistent recognition as one of Canada’s Fastest Growing Private Companies speaks volumes about Yuri's visionary leadership.
Beyond the boardroom, Yuri's heart lies in serving his community. For over two decades, he has been deeply involved with United Way, dedicating his time and resources to drive positive change and uplift those in need. His extensive tenure with United Way exemplifies his enduring commitment to making a meaningful impact on society. He is currently serving as the Global Chairman of United Way Worldwide, one of the world’s largest charitable organizations.
Furthermore, Yuri actively volunteers his time with various other organizations, including mentoring programs for aspiring entrepreneurs, local environmental conservation initiatives, and efforts to combat homelessness. He is also a proud volunteer and Co-Chair of the Honda Celebration of Light, bringing joy and excitement to communities through this iconic event. In 2020 he was installed as Chancellor of Capilano University, at the time the youngest university Chancellor in Canada. He was reappointed in 2023 to a second term.
Yuri's commitment to community extended even further with the establishment of The Fulmer Foundation in 2019. This foundation elevates Fulmer & Company’s community investment, focusing on social issues beyond financial support. Notably, The Fulmer Foundation manages and supports Goodly Foods Society, a social enterprise repurposing surplus produce to create employment opportunities for those in need.
In his dedication to Truth & Reconciliation, Yuri personally supports initiatives and encourages others to do the same. He has been the title sponsor of the largest dedicated art prize in Canada for First Nations through the BC Achievement Foundation and has plans to expand this prize nationally.
Yuri's contributions have not gone unnoticed. He has been honored with a plethora of awards, including The Order of British Columbia, The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, The King Charles III Coronation Medal, The BC Community Achievement Award, The Spirit of Vancouver Award, The Joseph and Rosalie Segal Community Vision Award, The Andre Mailhot Award, Canada’s Top Forty Under 40, and as a Business in Vancouver Living Legend. Each accolade is a testament to Yuri's dynamic entrepreneurship and unwavering dedication to making a difference.
But beyond the accolades and achievements, Yuri remains grounded, driven by a passion for growth and a genuine desire to give back. Whether he's scaling new heights in business or exploring the great outdoors, Yuri Fulmer continues to inspire those around him with his boundless energy and commitment to making the world a better place.
