Fancy Feasts

After a pandemic pause, the St. Paul’s Foundation Feast of Fortune and the Vancouver Canucks Dice and Ice galas returned to their winning ways, raising important funds for medical research and children and families.

ST. PAUL’S FOUNDATION FEAST OF FORTUNE GALA

1. Committee member Helen Yu and Top Chef Canada’s Deseree Lo served up a tasty and very successful gala.

2. Vancouver mayor Ken Sim helped usher in the Year of the Rabbit at the 16th edition of the Scotiabank Feast of Fortune fundraiser.

3. Patricia Yeo and Sing Lim Yeo founded the charity dinner in 2008, when a modest $90,000 was netted. This year’s event raised a record-setting $3.58 million for a state-of-the-art research centre to be located on the new Jim Pattison Medical Campus.

4. Scotiabank district vice president Andrew Wilkins and Fiona Dalton, president and CEO of Providence Health Care, presided over the traditional lion dance held at the start of the evening to bring good fortune to the festivities.
