  • Vancouver Pride Opening Reception TD Bank Group

    Time for this town to get a little crazy. Vancouver Pride is upon us and the parties have already started. First up is the TD Bank Group’s opening reception party. Hosted for the fourth year by the amazing folks at the TD team, and headed up Mauro Manzi, senior vice president of TD – Pacific Region, it was time to kick up your heels and hoist a glass at the Junction Pub last night where guests were treated to food, fun, outdoor bartenders and live entertainment by TD’s own signature drag diva Carlotta Gurl. Happy Pride everyone!
