Last night's Behind the Scenes with Outdoor Kitchens was a great evening of connection and conversation.

A big thank you to the team at Canada Outdoor Kitchens for hosting, and for the fantastic pizza from their outdoor pizza oven featuring pizza crusts from fellow Chamber member The Fickle Fig Farm Market.

Guests had the opportunity to explore the showroom, learn more about custom outdoor kitchen design, and connect with other local business members in a relaxed and welcoming setting. With summer approaching, there was also plenty of inspiration (and daydreaming) about outdoor living spaces and gatherings.

The evening had a strong sense of connection—exactly what these events are designed to create.

Our next Behind the Scenes event takes us to Victoria Therapeutic Riding Association, where we'll learn about the important work they do and have the opportunity to meet some of the horses.

Registration is now open: https://peninsulachamber.ca/calendar/ #!event/2026/6/24/behind-the-scenes-with-victoria-therapeutic-riding-association
