This is a family-friendly event, with:
Carne and vegetarian tacos
Handmade tortillas
Mexican street corn

205 people. One patio. Countless conversations.
On June 1, we had the pleasure of welcoming over 200 members of Vancouver’s post-production community to another sold-out VPA Summer BBQ at Craft Beer Market in English Bay.
From reconnecting with colleagues and making new connections to enjoying great food, drinks, and one of the best waterfront views in the city, it was a fantastic way to kick off the summer together.
We’re also proud to share that, thanks to your generosity, we raised $1,500 for the BC Cancer Foundation through our raffle fundraiser! Congratulations to our raffle winners, and a huge thank you to our generous prize donors: Western Imperial, Line 21, and Oddfellows.
Events like this wouldn’t be possible without the support of our volunteers, sponsors, dedicated VPA team, and, most importantly, our incredible members. Thank you for celebrating with us, for supporting one another, and for being part of the Vancouver Post Alliance community. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

Help Keep Canada Competitive in Film & TV Production
Canada’s motion picture industry supports more than 181,000 jobs and generates over $10.2 billion in annual production activity. Tax incentives play an important role in attracting productions to Canada and supporting the workers and businesses behind them.
Currently, when productions receive provincial tax credits, the amount of eligible labour expenses used to calculate their federal Production Services Tax Credit is reduced. This is known as the federal grind and can limit the combined benefit of these incentives.
Petition e-7794 calls on the Government of Canada to eliminate the federal grind, allowing federal and provincial incentives to work more effectively together. The goal is to strengthen Canada’s competitiveness, attract and retain productions, and support the jobs, businesses and talent that make our industry possible.
Whether you work in film and TV, hope to join the industry, or want to support Canadian jobs, you can make your voice heard.
📣 Sign the petition before November 4, 2026, when signatures close.
