BC Place welcomes first responders for technical rescue training

August 21^st, 2019

Local first responders with the Vancouver Fire Rescue Services Technical Rescue Team will be on site at BC Place Stadium for several training sessions during the month of August. The training scenarios are designed to ensure first responders are familiarized with BC Place in the event of emergency or disaster, and are trained with the unique skills, techniques and protocols required to respond to a wide range of challenging situations in Vancouver and across British Columbia. As the largest stadium in Western Canada, BC Place is pleased to facilitate this important training exercise.

"BC Place has been an instrumental partner in providing our team an ongoing opportunity to refine and develop the technical skills that we rely on when responding to any emergency in the City we serve," said Clint Clarke, Acting Training Officer/Technical Rescue/Special Operations with Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services.

As a public service, Vancouver Fire Rescue Services is committed to the health and safety of their team and the community, while providing world class fire and rescue services. As part of BC Place’s commitment to developing and supporting our local communities, the training site is being provided to the Vancouver Fire Rescue Services Technical Rescue Team for no cost. The stadium is proud to support the incredible work the Vancouver Fire Rescue Services Technical Rescue Team, as well as all first responders, do on behalf of all British Columbians.

Food Feature: Butter Chicken Poutine

August 8^th, 2019

The latest offering from The Poutinerie at BC Place, Butter Chicken Poutine blends both cultures and flavours. Once again inspired by a favourite childhood recipe, Chef Will Tse from Centerplate explains what inspired this new combo.

"I was raised in the United Kingdom, and as a child my parents owned a fish and chip shop. One of their menu items was hand-cut fries served with a side of homemade curry. I remember being very young sitting on the doorstep eating this and now whenever I eat butter chicken, it brings back those memories. Today, my son loves butter chicken and when I see him eat it, it takes me back to those days when I was young. This inspired me to put my recipe on fries, simulating what I ate as a child. The richness of the butter chicken topped with the curds and mixed with the crispness of the fries makes for a perfect combination."

Butter Chicken Poutine is just one of many unique menu offerings the stadium introduced this year.

"We try to put things on the menu that are unique and diverse. Vancouver is such a melting pot of cultures. With so many distinct flavours, why not combine them with a Canadian classic like poutine. We aim to stand out from other stadiums in terms of what we offer at BC Place, not just in food selection, but in flavour profiles."

Butter Chicken Poutine is available from The Poutinerie - sections 212 & 239.
