Oliver’s Phantom Creek Estates hosted its 10th anniversary Legacy Gala in Vancouver, raising $250,000 for youth music education and wildfire relief. The event, held on September 20, attracted around 500 guests. Themes of terroir, legacy, and generosity guided the evening. The winery used the occasion to support local causes impacted by recent wildfires.

The funds will help provide music education programs for young people and aid communities affected by the fires. The gala included a mix of wine tasting, live music, and guest speakers. Organizers emphasized the importance of community support during times of crisis.

Meanwhile, other local issues remain in focus. OneBC, a political party, failed to gain official status before the provincial election. Despite this, the party’s leader reports strong interest in running as a candidate. Starbucks also announced plans to close 250 North American stores, though details on Vancouver locations remain unclear.

These events highlight ongoing efforts to support local communities and the challenges faced by businesses and political groups in the region.
