A great breakfast meeting!
VicAM is pleased to say that it's first breakfast meeting in some time went extraordinarily well. John Vickers gave an excellent talk on Festival Tourism to 19 attendees... a substantial increase over our earlier breakfast meetings. The audience was engaged enough that I had to go ask the hotel if it was OK if we ran over our allotted time.
Stay tuned for our next meeting.

It was the last ship of the year
Congratulations to Ryan Burles and Black Ball Ferry Line
A long-term lease deal with the province means security and stability for Black Ball Ferry Line and a chance for the 56-year-old company to look long-term.
It's time to up our social game
As some of you know (and have pointed out to me), VicAM's presence on Facebook has been... uh.... how shall I put this delicately.... infrequent.
