  • 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.
