Join us for our Vancouver Spring Networking Reception

As the cross-border business community for investment, trade, and entrepreneurship opportunities between Southern California and Canada, we hope you can join us for our Spring Networking Reception in Vancouver. We are excited to welcome you at the law offices of our member organization, Fasken.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR ORIGINAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER, LINDA DIMARIO, EVP OF GREATER IRVINE CHAMBER, WILL BE UNABLE TO ATTEND DUE TO TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS CAUSED BY THE CORONA VIRUS. WE ARE STILL HOLDING OUR RECEPTION AND ARE PROUD TO WELCOME AIR CANADA AS OUR PRESENTING ORGANIZATION.

We are pleased to welcome Mr. Serge Corbeil, Director of Government Relations - Western Region, at Air Canada as our keynote speaker. Serge will be discussing Air Canada’s overall service linking Canada and California, with a focus on Southern California, their overall strategic approach to the US market and their 6th freedom expansion.
