 History of the British Columbia Association

 

The British Columbia Chefs’ Association was founded by a small group of dedicated chefs on July 1958 at a meeting at the Lougheed Hotel in Burnaby, BC.

 

The founding members were Late Chefs Xavier Hetzman and Wally Shaw. who also helped

establish the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks.

 

Originally called The Association of Chefs de Cuisine of BC, the association was granted its charter on February 27, 1959.

 

In June 1967, following changes to the constitution and bylaws, the name was changed to The British Columbia Chefs' Association. In 2010 Chef Xavier Hetzman, and in 2013 Chef Wally Shaw, were both inducted into the B.C. Restaurant Hall of Fame.

 

The British Columbia Chefs' Association is dedicated to the education of both junior members and the upgrading skills of regular members. Annual scholarships are given out to deserving students who distinguish themselves in the culinary field and want to further their education to a TQ certification (Red Seal). Funds are also generated by the board of directors and a few members of the association prepare specific and healthy menus to cook at people’s homes. An amount is predetermined before the food is served. The money is 100% to support education and scholarship for Junior Chefs. Other activities is raised through fundraising activities year-round:

 

BC Produce Marketing Association Healthy Chef Competition Gourmet Competition in the Spring. Generous Corporate and Associate Members donations.

Other activities of the Association include a Christmas Party, summer picnic, President's Ball and Golf Tournament, Apprentice Competitions, Local and National Conventions, Culinary Salons, and other events that feature the work of the professional Chef in British Columbia.

 

In the past thirty years the British Columbia Chefs’ Association has supported young students moving onto their culinary journey with more than $200,000.00 in scholarships and support to the B.C. Olympic Culinary teams and Bocuse D’or competitors.
