Vancouver Resource Investment Conference Gala Awards Dinner - Go for the Gold

Date

By Catherine Barr

 

The Vancouver Resource Investment Conference attracted over 6,000 delegates this past weekend to Canada Place. Anything but boring, the "Go for the Gold" Gala Awards Dinner featured both a live and silent auction, and entertainment by the likes of Abba-Cadabra, Ache Brasil and the Russell Marsland Band. Raising money for Alpine Canada, these Howe street heavies were hip to the cause. Lots of North Shore faces were in the crowd including some of the evening's biggest honourees. Congratulations to all.
