Join us for an exciting evening with fellow Woodrise delegates at the historic Salt Building in the heart of the Olympic Village
Initially built in the 1930s, the building was brought back to life in the lead-up to the 2010 Olympics to host athletes from around the globe before becoming CRAFT Beer Market. The venue features many original wood details, including trusses and pilings.
Experience a typical West Coast evening out—local draft brews, delicious food and live entertainment, all while enjoying views of the water and the North Shore Mountain range.
Key Speaker
We are pleased to announce that The Honourable Ravi Parmar, Minister of Forests, Government of British Columbia, will be attending the Timber and Taps evening at Woodrise 2025.
BC Minister of Forests
Ravi Parmar was first elected as the MLA for Langford-Juan de Fuca in a by-election in 2023 and re-elected as the MLA for Langford-Highlands in 2024.
In November 2024, Ravi was appointed British Columbia’s Minister of Forests and also serves as Deputy Government House Leader. Previously, he held the role of Parliamentary Secretary for International Credentials, where he led the implementation of the International Credentials Recognition Act.
Before his election as MLA, Ravi served for nearly a decade as Chair of the Sooke School District Board of Education. In this role, he worked alongside former Premier John Horgan to deliver the largest expansion of public education in the district’s history, including the construction of several new schools and a first-of-its-kind post-secondary campus in downtown Langford.
Raised in Langford by parents who immigrated to Canada in the 1990s, Ravi has been a lifelong champion for his community. He has a strong record of standing up for people and delivering results.
