Chefs from some of Canada’s best known restaurants prepared delicious bites of Canadian cuisine for attendees while partial proceeds and a silent wine auction supported Ocean Wise.
Thanks to a friend and Like Vancouver, I got to attend this awesome event and invited my friend L.L. to attend the party with me.
The gala was held at Terminal City Club, spanning two floors. 17 restaurants participated in the event, 12 of which were from out of town, originating from all over Canada, all of them serving Ocean Wise food. An impressive 24 wineries also participated.
