Illuminations Luncheon presented by RBC Wealth Management
Join us Friday, February 28, 2025 at Westin Bayshore Vancouver for BC Women’s Health Foundation 24th annual Illuminations Luncheon presented by RBC Wealth Management. Illuminations Luncheon is dedicated to leading change in women’s health through research and supporting the work of the Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI).
This annual event brings together community, corporate, government and medical research leaders to support and hear from extraordinary women’s health researchers. Guests enjoyed a three-course lunch, and heard from a panel of experts on the latest research happening today and, with your support, in the future.

During the Fund-a-Need portion of the event, attendees will have the opportunity to invest in a variety of financial research awards.
