Since 2005, over $110,000 has been raised, demonstrating YBIA and its partner restaurants’ commitment to the community.
Taste of Yaletown 2010 is presented by title sponsor, CIBC. Dedicated to supporting local communities, CIBC, will not only be presenting the entire event in October, but will also extend the Taste of Yaletown brand out for a special private event in January 2011.
