The Goh Legacy Film

The Goh Legacy Film

Synopsis

The Goh Ballet Academy, known as both a Main Street staple and one of Canada’s most prestigious institutes of dance, has always called Vancouver its home. But the Goh family legacy began even before the academy first opened its doors over 40 years ago.

This documentary traces the life stories of Choo Chiat and Lin Yee Goh, two lead dancers at the National Ballet of China who, after falling in love, moved to Canada at the height of political unrest in the 1970s. Their academy has since become a local mainstay, fostering an interest in dance for generations of kids and adults alike.

We also look to a bright future through the eyes of their daughter, Chan-hon Goh, principal dancer of Canada’s National Ballet for 20 years, and current director of the academy.

REDDOT Luxury Shopping – YVR Alberni Street

What is YVR Alberni?

Objective: Create consumer excitement; promote Vancouver most luxury retailers and hospitality sector to the locals, visitors by showcasing what is available to them in the heart of Vancouver’s “Luxury Zone” – the 30+ high end retailers, restaurants and attractions on the one block area around the 1000 Block Alberni form an area that is considered the most exclusive shopping and dining area in Western Canada
Challenge: The area sometimes referred to as a “Luxury Zone” has not received the community recognition that should be warranted. Although part of the Vancouver Downtown BIA, this exclusive block is lost in such a large BIA and has been unable to develop a brand on its own.
Goal: To develop a brand for the “Luxury Zone” with digital properties and hosts a collection of exclusive events ranging from luxurious jewelry festivals, super car show to seasonal holiday spectaculars. These annual must-see events are featured only on Alberni. #OnlyonAlberni
