3. was the original meaning - one of the ten divisions in a Roman Legion, numbering 300 - 600 soldiers. It does feel through the past year and its economic challenges, that we have had 300 - 600 leaders in the hospitality industry in the Lower Mainland area who have been to battle, and are now on the cusp of turning to victory.
It is a pleasure to be among this group of people who are all thoughtful, committed and keen to see our industry as we thrive beyond the Games in 2010.
