I can’t believe it has been 10 years! Time has a way of passing quickly, especially when you’re busy building something meaningful. But I didn’t want to let this milestone pass by without acknowledging it and thanking all of you for your support and interest in Portugal in Vancouver.
What began as a simple idea has now blossomed into a vibrant and thriving community resource! It’s incredible to see how a small idea can grow and evolve into something far beyond what was initially imagined. Portugal in Vancouver has become more than just a business—it’s a place where people can learn about and celebrate Portuguese culture, cuisine, and community.
Here’s to another decade of success, growth, and celebrating all things Portuguese!
