Wining and dining are one way to support Ocean Wise at tonight's Wine for Waves
Funds from the annual soiree at the Four Seasons Hotel go to the program devoted to ocean-friendly choices
Wine for Waves takes place at tonight (April 13), giving Vancouverites a chance to get out of the rain and into an evening of wining and dining to raise funds for the Ocean Wise Seafood Program.
Overfishing is one of the biggest threats to the world’s seas. The Ocean Wise symbol next to a seafood item on a menu is an assurance of an ocean-friendly choice.
Wondering what, specifically, W for W guests will sip and savour? Here’s a peek.
