"The BC Foodservice Expo is a major event and foodservice is a major industry in our province. During the Olympics we heard time and time again that the culinary experience was superb. BC’s restaurants are clearly a key ingredient to heighten our profile as a cultural destination.”
Gordon Campbell - Premier, British Columbia
