Thank you for joining us at the ABLE BC Industry Reception! It was a wonderful evening at Donnellan's Irish Pub filled with great conversation, connection and community - we’re so glad you were there.

We’d like to extend a special thanks to Minister of Agriculture and Food Lana Popham for joining us and taking the time to connect with members of BC’s liquor, hospitality and cannabis industries. We also appreciate the senior officials from the Liquor Distribution Branch (LDB) and Liquor & Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) who joined us and contributed to the evening’s conversation.

A huge thank you to our event sponsor’s for helping make the evening possible and for continuing to support BC’s industry community: BC Lottery Corporation, Western Financial Group, ContainerWorld, B**r Canada, W**e Growers BC, and Brewers’ Recycled Container Collection Council.

We’re grateful to Dirty Laundry Vineyard and Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards for generously providing sparkling w**e for the reception.

We also want to recognise the wonderful volunteers from Craft Greenery for lending their time and energy to help make the event a success.

And thank you to our hosts, IRL GROUP for welcoming us to Donnellan’s Pub and helping create such a great space for everyone to connect.

Most importantly, thank you to our members and allies for showing up, sharing your perspectives and engaging in the conversations that matter to our industry. Your participation helps strengthen our collective voice and our ability to advocate for BC’s liquor, hospitality and cannabis businesses.

Your feedback matters - we’d love to hear what you thought worked well and how we can make future events even better. Please share your feedback on our survey by October 6th - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LNCWRRW
