House of Boateng is catering the upcoming Harvest Dinner at Woodwynn Farms on September 7th. All four courses of this farm-to-table feast will be artfully prepared by award-winning chef Castro Boateng.

 

"The dishes that I will be creating that evening are all focused around highlighting the fresh ingredients from the farm," says Castro Boateng, owner and executive chef at House of Boateng. "It will be a unique experience for the guests to dine at the same place where the food is being harvested."  

 

With over 17 years of professional culinary experience, Castro has integrated his love for creative art and food into a successful fine catering business and partnership with the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit to open the Paddock Lounge last April. Castro's raw talent, admirable flavor combination and natural creativity have also propelled him to the top of the podium at many culinary competitions.

Between astronomical events like the solar eclipse and celestial events like stargazing apparently Victoria is the place to be.

Recently spotted A-List actors include Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds and proving that nothing is more attractive than a great mind and a keen sense of humour, Josh Brolin was spotted at Russell Books doing a little research on his stepmother Barbra Streisand.

When the stars align for movie making in Greater Victoria, local businesses benefit. Back in 2008, local film and television production dropped sharply to $7.3 million when the region was inexplicably excluded from a production tax credit implemented by the province. Through combined efforts by The Chamber and the Vancouver Island South Film & Media Commission the tax credit was reinstated for Greater Victoria and by 2015, local productions generated $18 million in direct spending. An excellent return on the less than $140,000 provided annually by the province and eight of the 13 municipalities to fund the Film Commission.

More than one third of University of Victoria (UVic) students take part in its renowned Co-operative Education Program (co-op), alternating terms in class with terms working for employers in their field. UVic co-op students' skills are as diverse as the programs offered at UVic-they can apply their competencies to almost any task.

 

Hiring a co-op student is a great way to gain short-term help. Plus, co-op helps you give back to your community, create a relationship with UVic and become a partner in students' education.
