First Tuesday Monthly Business Mixers

Our new series of events will be hosted by our members. Think factory, store and warehouse tours with good local food, drink and discussion. It’s a chance for our members to get to know each other, strengthen community and leverage our network to support a stronger local economy.

Events are the first Tuesday of each month. Tickets are FREE for members and guests of the host, $15 for non-members. Please register if you plan to come.

MAY 1st, 2012: Hastings Crossing Business Improvement Area

Location: Multiple locations near Hastings@Abbott Street, Vancouver

Date/Time: May 1st (Tuesday), 5:30-8:30pm

Representing over 500 businesses in the historic heart of Vancouver, the Hastings Crossing BIA supports a local economy that serves the neighbourhood, working to ensure that business is an ally supporting the social health of the neighbourhood rather than a force for displacement and gentrification.

We have multiple locations and hosts within the Business Improvement Area for this Taste of Hastings Crossing event. Locations include Bitter Tasting Room, Calabash Bistro, Potluck Cafe & Wild Rice.

JUNE 5th, 2012: Recycling Alternative

Location: 

360 Industrial Ave, Vancouver

Date/Time: June 5th (Tuesday), 5:30-8:00pm

Recycling Alternative began with a hatchback and two hardy individuals more than 20 years ago. They began collecting paper from offices with no recycling programs, all before blue boxes were part of our weekly lives. As pioneers in the industry, they are committed to providing easy, convenient and cost effective recycling options for businesses big and small.

Locally owned and operated, with over 20 employees, Recycling Alternative has hundreds of clients across the Lower Mainland. In their quest to expand and better contribute to a more sustainable community, city and earth, they have recently partnered with the City and Vancouver Farmer’s Markets to pilot food scraps collection for multi-unit residential buildings, and developed a zero waste service for commercial businesses.
