WINE TASTING EVENT FOR DADS A HUGE SUCCESS!

 

This past Friday night, our MVP hosted the first-ever Wine Tasting event for dads in a beautiful Lion's Bay waterfront home. The venue was well-attended (near capacity) by dads from all grades.  Dads enjoyed different red wines from Australia, Bordeaux, Italy, Napa Valley, and BC's Okanagan, while socialising with each other. Part of the goal was to show dads that the MVP is not only for moms, and this special event gave them an excellent opportunity to connect with each other as well as engage with the Mulgrave community.
