We aim to enjoy the great company of dynamic people and examine, challenge or poke fun at ideas, trends and events past, present and future.

Every second Wednesday evening of the month, a small group gathers in resplendent Vancouver for a spirited moderated conversation on many topics that happen to tickle our fancy or trigger our debating juices. The format is inspired by the salons of Madame de Pompadour and more recently by the Nicholson's salon held every single Wednesday Night in Montreal for over a quarter of a century...

You are all fabulous, fascinating (and busy!) people that who are passionate about the world we live in and the people who surround us. Gathering you across domains, ages and interests creates magic that we are deeply appreciative for, as it never fails to inform, transform and inspire!

Carpe Diem, friends, and have fun!!!

Your hosts, Alexandra & James Greenhill

“The Hmong have a phrase hais cuaj txub kaum txub, which means  "to speak of all kinds of things". It is often used [...] to remind the listeners that the world is full of things  that may not seem to be connected but actually are; that no event occurs in isolation; that you can miss a lot by sticking to the point. “
