Toast to the Coast 2011
Vancouver Aquarium
November 4, 2011
The sold-out event drew 500 professionals, young and old, from various industries who are connected by their love of food and wine, and their desire to support marine conservation, research and education programs. The Toast to the Coast event, now in its fifth year, transforms the Vancouver Aquarium into an enchanting evening experience. One hundred per cent of the event proceeds support the Aquarium's waterways and aquatic wildlife conservation initiatives.
Guests enjoyed canapés from leading Ocean Wise restaurants, sampled local wines, bid on silent auction items, and enjoyed live music from DJ Leanne. Participating restaurants included C Restaurant, Le Tableau Bar & Bistro, Oyster Seafood & Bar, and Hapa Umi.
