The GOODS from Ocean Wise

Vancouver, BC | Executive Chef Ned Bell at YEW restaurant + bar and Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver has always been a strong proponent of sustainable seafood – but this World Oceans Day on June 8, he’s taking his commitment to another level as the venue debuts as a new partner of Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program.

If you know anything about culinary master Ned Bell, you know you won’t be disappointed by the sumptuous Ocean Wise dinner he’ll be serving up that evening. Inspired by the oceans of the world – Indian, Pacific, Atlantic, and Southern – the dinner will celebrate our connection to the ocean. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program. Details after the jump…

Tickets to the much-anticipated Ocean Wise dinner at YEW restaurant + bar are $160 each (all-inclusive), and reservations can be made by calling 604-609-5480 or emailing emily.walker@fourseasons.com.
