Enjoy the following video - put together courtesy of my thoughtful brother, Alfred. And, this , too.

Thanks to my brother, Arn, we have the perfect venue for Mom and Dad's Golden Anniversary. First of all, we were able to secure the venue for the actual anniversary date, September 1st. Secondly, it has a wonderful view and gorgeous gardens. And, most importantly, the menu choices are just divine: lots of choice for carnivores, vegetarians and everyone in between. https://www.vancouverdine.com/seasons/ We've also had family get togethers here in the past. Seasons in the Park restaurant is located at Queen Elizabeth Park: And, from this beautiful venue, gorgeous views of the North Shore mountains:
