IN CELEBRATION OF WHISKY WISEMEN'S DEDICATION TO AND SUPPORT OF THE CITY OF VANCOUVER WE ARE HOSTING AN EVENT THAT BRINGS TOGETHER THE COMMUNITY'S INFLUENTIAL PUBLIC FIGURES, COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

Our evening will at every stage beg the question of "what are you doing to better the community we live in?"

Building Vancouver’s Future was inspired by the celebration of another successful year as an organization as well as the desire to partner with companies across the city that have the same mandate: to improve our community, collaboratively.

This event will to bring together community and business leaders who have continued to drive successful growth in the Vancouver area. We are proud to be working with a range of industries, company sizes, and both the private and public sector.

It wouldn’t be a Whisky Wisemen event without including one of the finest of them all! Welcome back Gez McAlpine, Bruichladdich Ambassador of Western Canada.
