What a Night at GCBA Connect – Joey’s Shipyard Restaurant and Bistro, North Vancouver!

Tonight’s GCBA Connect at Joey’s Shipyard was nothing short of amazing! With over 20 new and familiar faces in attendance, the energy was high and the conversations even better. From exchanging ideas to sharing stories and memories, it was a true reflection of the strength and spirit of our community.

We were all so caught up in connecting that we didn’t even stop to take photos — a great sign of genuine engagement! Next time, feel free to snap and share a few moments with us.

A big thank you to everyone who came out – your presence made the night special. We can’t wait to see you again at our next GCBA Connect event in Downtown Vancouver on November 13.
