  • West Vancouver Chamber Holiday Galas

    The West Vancouver Chamber of Commerce wrapped up the year with two major events that marked another season of successful business on the North Shore. First up, it was the Under 40s event at Lynn Valley’s Brown’s restaurant where guests got a chance to sip and sample from the menu while hearing from keynote speaker/owner Derek Archer. Next, it was time to celebrate the holidays with the annual Christmas dinner gala. Held at Capilano Golf and Country Club, it is an event members look forward to all year as a stunning spread and auction items were offered in support of the organization.

  • Lynn Valley Days Gala Night

    It’s always been about families and fun. But now, with the added glamour of a Friday night gala, Lynn Valley Days has indeed become the little festival that grew. Close to 500 guests donned their spring formal wear to attend the 3rd Annual Gala Dinner and Dance last Friday night to celebrate. A delicious buffet dinner, live music and silent auction items helped raise funds for the North Shore Rescue team. Congratulations to everyone involved.
