Testimonial
Little did I know that by simply participating in a North Vancouver Chamber event, I was to benefit from our young creative minds here in our community.
At NVC’s Summer Social networking event, conversing with guests led to being introduced to Nancy Wang, Capilano University’s Work-Integrated Learning project liaison. My experience with the students and their professor, Ivan Surjanovic, was productive, innovative, and inspiring. I am happy I was at the Chamber event—that’s where it all started!
