The team from the Vancouver International Maritime Centre wined and dined guests at Vancouver's Nightingale restaurant.

VIMC executive director Kaity Arsoniadis-Stein and Yvonne Constantine, director of finance and international business development, even found themselves serving as chefs for the day at the contemporary dining establishment at the heart of Vancouver.

The VIMC aims to encourage the development of the city as a home for international shipping firms by providing advice, information and assistance to companies interested in setting up shop on Canada’s west coast.
