Wendy McDonald BC Bearing Group 85th Birthday and Classic Boat Show at Burrard Yacht Club

June 15, 16, 2007

By Catherine "Cat" Barr

The North Shore Outlook is delivered to over 60,000 homes in Canada's wealthiest communities, North Vancouver and West Vancouver, every Thursday - over 60,000 issues in print.

 

Wendy B. McDonald, Chairman and CEO of BC Bearing Group, is a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and has spent over 50 years turning her company into a global leader. This elegant business lady is one of the North Shore's finest and last week she celebrated her 85th birthday with some famous friends at the Terminal City Club. Dressed in flapper costumes, guests toasted the occasion in style.

Also, last weekend, North Van's Burrard Yacht Club held its first annual classic boat show. The public got a chance to vote on their favourites and then later, owners found out who was the winner at a special after banquet and cocktail reception.
