EIGHTY AND GREAT AND STILL CUTTING THE CAKE

The Arbutus Club Celebration Vancouver BC

The Arbutus Club — Vancouver's most distinguished private venue, where family gathers from near and far to celebrate the man who built it all. Eight decades of stories. A room full of the people who love him most. The best table in Vancouver, reserved in his honour. This is not just a birthday. This is a legacy celebration.
