Coffee Talks

We’re always interested in getting to know more about our members and keeping up-to-date on their business.

A Coffee Talk is a 20-minute informal presentation at Destination Greater Victoria’s Corporate Office where we learn about your business, your products and/or any new services you offer. They’re a great opportunity to meet our staff and explore how we can collaborate. A Coffee Talk is a powerful way to start your new membership or update us about your business. We also encourage you to present Coffee Talks to our staff at the Visitor Centre.

 

Annual Christmas Luncheon & Elections Meeting

TBD

Held in early December each year, Destination Greater Victoria’s Annual Christmas Luncheon combines a traditional turkey luncheon with fundraising efforts for the BC Hospitality Foundation, Destination Greater Victoria’s Official Charity Partner.

The event includes a short elections meeting and introduction to the Board of Directors. One of our most popular events, the Christmas Luncheon is a great opportunity to network and get in the holiday spirit.

Destination Greater Victoria is honoured to be based on the traditional territory of the Lekwungen-speaking peoples of the Songhees Nation and the Esquimalt Nation, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.
