Krishnan Suthanthiran was born in Southern India. As a young man, he moved to
Canada to attend Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. After completing his masters in
Mechanical Engineering, he took pre-med courses at the University of Toronto and
worked for an oncologist in the U.S.A.
In 1977, he founded Virginia-based Best Medical International, and over the
past three decades has grown Best and its affiliated companies into major manufacturers
and distributors of health care products globally. Today, Mr. Suthanthiran has business
interests in a wide variety of industries throughout North America and Europe,
including a recent purchase of the entire town of Kitsault in Northern BC...
which, of course, is exactly what this web site is dedicated to.
Best of Kitsault Available on DVD
In 1864, desirous of uniting Canada’s colonies,
the Fathers of Confederation met in Charlottetown, PEI, for the first of three conferences.
In 1867, their efforts were rewarded with the passage of the British North America Act and the
creation of a new nation henceforth known as the Dominion of Canada.
Since then this beautiful land has served as a beacon of hope for people around the world
and has continued to attract trailblazers, dreamers, philosophers, visionaries and those
seeking new beginnings.
Today, a new and exceptional kind of community building is taking place in Canada, this time
on the Pacific North coast. The town of Kitsault in northern BC is being re-envisioned as a
global problem-solving centre and a haven for the world’s most talented artists and scientists.
Many of you are familiar with the town of Kitsault’s unique history.
In 2005, Krishnan Suthanthiran, a Canadian educated U.S. business man and philanthropist,
saw great potential in this sleeping beauty of a town and decided to purchase it.
He has since been working diligently to awaken Kitsault from its deep sleep and bring it back
to life. Krishnan has renamed the town Chandra Krishnan Kitsault in honour of his mother:
"My mother gave me life and I want to give life back to this town."
Those of you keen to learn more about Kitsault will be happy to hear that you can now watch
the whole story from the comfort of your own home. The Best of Kitsault is a
90 minute DVD that covers the history of the town from its early days to the present and
includes an interview with the town’s owner, Krishnan Suthanthiran. The Best of Kitsault
features stunning aerial vistas of the B.C. coastline and pristine wilderness of the
Nass River Valley. You will see for yourself why Kitsault has been called "Heaven on Earth!"
The cost of the DVD is $23.95 (plus shipping and handling)
This collector’s item will be a treasured souvenir documenting the development of this unique town.
