GOLD MEDAL PLATES VANCOUVER & CALGARY

24h after returning home on a marathon flight from Liberia, I set off for Van City for GMP stop #3. The food was scrumptous as always... I was paired with Lee Parsons of Bacchus Restaurant, and I helped plate some delicious salmon with a menagerie of fried beets, cauliflower stuff and halibut puree. Simon Whitfield spoke on stage and I was inspired once again by his genuine story and gracious attention to the amount of generosity in the room that night. The next morning I had the opportunity to visit Burnaby Canoe Club for a paddle with 11 awesome BC paddlers... thanks for the workout guys!

That same day I was off to Calgary for my 4th and final Gold Medal Plate event. I had the pleasure of sitting with my one of sponsors, Petrobank as they generously purchased a table at the event. The GMP events this year were all awesome fun, and raised a ton of dough for the COC Excellence Fund. Thanks to everyone at Gold Medal Plates, all the chefs, and everyone who attended the events across the country for your support of Canadian Amateur Sports.
