About The Pacific Club
The Pacific Club is a registered British Columbia not-for-profit organization supported by our members through membership fees, and non-member guest fees at Pacific Club events.
The Pacific Club was founded in 1991 by Andrew Saxton Jr., who had been a member of a networking club for young professionals while he lived and worked in New York during the late 1980s. Upon returning to Vancouver, Andrew was surprised to learn that there was no comparable organization in this city, and set out to create one. Together with a group of other enthusiastic and connected young professionals, he created The Pacific Club.
The Pacific Club is proud to host the most prominent and successful business people and artists in our community. A selection of former speakers include:
- Bob Rennie ………………… Principle, Rennie Marketing Systems
- Jim Chu …………….. Chief Constable, Vancouver Police Department
- Peter Thomas ……………… Founder, Century 21 Canada & LifePilot
- Brian Burke ……………….. President & GM, Vancouver Canucks
