The Story:
On his last national tour, David Suzuki shares the wisdom of a life full of action and celebrates Canadians who are standing up for the people and places they love. A special VIP reception at the VSO School of Music (843 Seymour St, Vancouver) on Sunday, November 9 from 5-7pm will directly precede the finale event at the Orpheum that same evening (show starts at 7pm).
Summerhill Pyramid Winery and the Cipes family have been longtime supporters of the David Suzuki Foundation and have been hand selected to showcase their organic and biodynamic wines alongside cuisine from top Vancouver chefs from the Chefs’ Table Society of British Columbia, including Vikram Vij (Vij’s), Ned Bell (Yew at the Four Seasons) and David Hawksworth (Hawksworth).
VIP reception tickets include premium seating at the finale event featuring performances and appearances by Neil Young, Robert Bateman, the Barenaked Ladies, Margaret Atwood, Feist, Shayne Koyczan and many more.
A limited number of VIP tickets are still available via Ticketmaster.
