PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear fellow members,
November is a special time at Terminal City Club. It’s a month where we come together to celebrate the good things, reflect on the year gone by, and start gearing up for the new year ahead. Whether it’s gathering with friends, setting plans in motion, or soaking in the festive atmosphere, November marks the start of something exciting here at the Club. We’ve got a fantastic lineup of events and important updates to share. So, grab your calendars, and let’s dive into what’s coming up!
One major highlight this season is the Invictus Games, which are coming to Vancouver and Whistler in February 2025. These incredible Games will bring together over 500 athletes from more than 20 nations, all competing in adaptive sports, showcasing resilience and strength. As part of the excitement leading up to the event, on Thursday, November 14, members will have a unique opportunity to join us for breakfast with Scott Moore, CEO of the Invictus Games. It promises to be an inspiring morning full of insights and stories from the heart of the Games. Space is limited for this special event, so be sure to reserve your spot early!
As the holiday season unfolds, our team has put together an array of events designed to bring the festive spirit to life here at the Club. Whether you’re looking to host an intimate gathering with family or dive into the holiday cheer with fellow members, there’s something for everyone on the agenda. One standout event is the Holiday Social on Wednesday, November 27. I try never to miss this one! This year, in addition to the usual high-calibre scotch and spirits, we’re offering a diverse selection of wine, beer, non-alcoholic beverages, and cocktails—both boozy and buzz-free—with proceeds supporting the Terminal City Club Foundation. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy great company and maybe even tick off some early holiday shopping. If you can’t make it but want to support youth and education and receive a tax receipt, visit vancouverfoundation.ca/tcc.
And, of course, the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without a visit from Santa! He’ll be making three special appearances at the Club this year: on December 1 & 15 for our beloved Dickens Family Brunch (which is already 50% sold out), and on Sunday, December 8 for the Festive Family Dinner Buffet. These are sure to be magical moments for the whole family, so be sure to secure your spot early.
If you’re thinking of hosting a gathering of your own, whether it’s a corporate event, elegant dinner, retirement celebration, or even a casual holiday party, our Catering team is here to help make it truly memorable. The Club is the perfect backdrop for all kinds of celebrations; however, dates are filling up quickly, so don’t delay—reach out to [email protected] to secure your event.
In addition to the festive events, there are some important dates to keep in mind. Our Annual General Meeting is just around the corner on Monday, December 16. This is an opportunity for us to reflect on the year that’s passed and discuss the Club’s future. We’ll be covering key topics like modernizing our Articles and reviewing the 2023-24 fiscal year. More details are coming soon, so keep an eye out for updates.
All fob readers in the Club are being upgraded this month. It is a big project but will make for a more secure TC Tower, so for a short time members may need to carry two fobs. Members will also have an option to just use their phone if that is preferred as it has an RFID reader option. See page 3 for more details.
Finally, I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for the staff who make everything at the Club run smoothly throughout the year. The Club Fund, which is supported by a percentage of the service charge on catering events and restaurant business, is typically distributed to all staff (except for the GM & CEO) in December. This fund is a way for members to show appreciation for the dedicated team who work behind the scenes to deliver exceptional service, and if you’d like to make an individual contribution, please visit tcclub.com/club-fund-2024. Your support goes a long way in recognizing the hard work of our staff during this busy season.
Wishing you all a wonderful November filled with warmth, laughter, and great company!
Warm regards,
Nate Kube
Terminal City Club President
