Mix and Mingles Recap

In May, we connected with VIEA members, Island Good businesses and guests at our mix and mingle events.

From Wolf Brewing in Nanaimo to Riptide Marine Pub in Campbell River, to Devils’ Bath Brewery in Port McNeill, to the Cowichan Regional Visitor Centre in Duncan and 40 Knots Winery in Comox, each gathering was an opportunity for networking and collaboration. These events provided invaluable opportunities to delve into the latest developments in various regions and explore how VIEA can continue to offer meaningful support to our members.

Thanks to Greig Seafood for generously contributing their delectable smoked salmon, expertly prepared by Island Good Hardy Buoys, at the Campbell River mix and mingle. We also extend our gratitude to Island Good Wolf Brewing, Cowichan Regional Visitor Centre, Mensch Catering, Red Arrow Brewing, Paradise Island Cheese, Island Farmhouse Poultry, Longwood Brewery, Natural Pastures Cheese, and 40 Knots Winery for graciously hosting and/or contributing to the success of these gatherings.

As we reflect on the connections made and insights gained during our May adventures, we eagerly anticipate the upcoming events planned for September, focusing on the West Coast and South Island regions. Stay tuned for more details as we continue to foster meaningful connections and support a thriving sustainable economy for Vancouver Island and the rural Islands.
