Mahony & Sons Stamps Landing

The craic was mighty on Thursday evening as Mahony & Sons hosted a special sneak preview for media of their much-anticipated Stamps Landing restaurant.

The family-run company has just completed a complete overhaul of the former Monk McQueen’s site in South False Creek and will be officially opening the new 10,000 square foot location on Monday, August 18 at 11am.

Guests at last night’s media event were invited to experience true Irish hospitality and enjoyed the perfect pairing of Guinness and oysters upon arrival, followed by a tour of the new premises before sampling a number of signature Mahony & Sons dishes prepared by Executive Chef Paul Nguyen.

Last night, the International Association of Business Communicators BC Chapter (IABC/BC), hosted their annual Bronze Quill Awards Gala. The Bronze Quills recognize communications excellence in British Columbia across a number of categories, including media relations, research, publications, and crisis management. Elettra Communications was thrilled to be honoured with two awards, including an Award of Excellence in Communications Management Award for our Long Table Distillery Launch media relations campaign. Elettra also received an Award of Merit in Communications Management for our Tsleil-Waututh Nation Cooks Program media relations campaign.

It was a wonderful evening, shared with many of our communications industry colleagues who are shining in their field. Thanks to everyone at IABC/BC for putting on a great event.

Elettra Communications attended a special Gala event at the weekend at The Kettle Society’s new supported-housing building located at 1134 Burrard Street.

The Kettle Making a Difference – An Evening with Olympian Clara Hughes and Friends, was a special fundraising event to raise funds for The Kettle Society’s community mental health programs and celebrate Clara’s inspiring 12,000km bike ride across Canada to build awareness and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health.  The Kettle had been chosen as Vancouver’s “community champion” for the ride.

Kari Adams from CTV emceed the event and CTV broadcast live weather forecasts and interviews from the VIP reception.

Speakers included: Deputy Mayor Adriane Carr; Debra McPherson, President of the BC Nurses Union; Daniel Boffo from Boffo Properties; Mary Deacon, Chair of Bell Let’s Talk; Brenda Lea Brown, Chair of the Kettle board; and Kettle member Denis Piper.

Six-time Olympian Clara Hughes took time out of her grueling and physically challenging schedule to address guests and VIPs and deliver an emotional and inspiring keynote speech which touched on her own experiences with mental illness.

Cassandra and Simone had a ball at last night's Western Living Designers of the Year Awards. The annual bash was held at London Aviation Centre near YVR's South Terminal. Who would have thought an airplane hangar could look so beautiful? Kudos to our good friend and Transcontinental Media marketing & events specialist, Christina Sobrepena for pulling it all together. And congrats to Anicka Quin (editor) and Lori Chalmers (publisher) on a another fantastic Awards night.

Spotted at the event was our much loved client power couple, Kate Donegani of the Vancouver Airport Authority and Keith Donegani of Burritt Bros. Carpets and Floors. Stop by IDSWest from September 19 - 22 to say hello to Keith and to have a look at the very latest in gorgeous, hand knotted rugs from Nepal.
