CANADA PUTS ITS BEST FOOT FORWARD IN LOS ANGELES

The Canada Media Marketplace, the Canadian Tourism Commission's flagship event to showcase Canada to the US media, was a successful event again this April. The BC night, held at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, was a night to remember. Delegates were treated to cocktails by Vancouver's Chambar, entertainment by a troupe from Cirque du Soleil, and hugs from the chubby mascots that adorn 2010 merchandise. Jayne squeezed between Miga, Quatchi and Sumi!

Meetings with US journalists, scheduled from early morning till dusk, gave us plenty of opportunity to entice writers, bloggers and broadcasters to British Columbia to experience our piece of paradise. Four colleagues enjoy breakfast: Jane Ince, Kristine George, Nora Weber and Kelly Reid.






The RCMP were on hand to add a dash of colour to the formalities.

Jayne also found time to meet with an editor at Bon Appetit to introduce her clients. Together they noshed at LA's Pizzeria Mozza, known for numerous accolades and was recently featured in LAX Magazine's list of the 75 best restaurants in LA.
