Gold Medal Plates for Vancouver Olympics 2010

Nov 3, 2004

By Catherine Barr

 

Vancouver's best chefs teamed up with some medal winning favourites at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre last week to battle it out head to head. The Gold Medal Plates event has taken place all across the country to help raise funds for Canadian athletes. A $250 ticket allowed you to taste the wares and vote for your favourite who, in this case, turned out to be Lumiere's very reknown Rob Feenie.

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
