3. was the original meaning - one of the ten divisions in a Roman Legion, numbering 300 - 600 soldiers. It does feel through the past year and its economic challenges, that we have had 300 - 600 leaders in the hospitality industry in the Lower Mainland area who have been to battle, and are now on the cusp of turning to victory.
It is a pleasure to be among this group of people who are all thoughtful, committed and keen to see our industry as we thrive beyond the Games in 2010.
We do indeed have a fun name!
