On March 12 and 13 2016, we witnessed one of the most spectacular sporting events to ever come to Canada. The first ever HSBC Vancouver 7’s was held here in Vancouver. Excitement was palpable as Kenyans from all over Canada and the US packed sections of the BC Place stadium and cheered our team the Kenyan way. It was a memorable event in which we were honored to host the Kenya High Commissioner H.E.  John L. Lanyasunya who traveled from Ottawa to show his support.

Native Events Entertainment & Morani Entertainment had the opportunity to host three after parties that weekend with impressive turnout especially during the main event on Saturday. The venue was packed with hundreds of Kenyans, Africans, Canadians, Americans etc. It felt like being home away from home. On Sunday The Kenyan Rugby Team, our Shujaas partied with us. They finally had a chance to loosen up. They felt welcomed and look forward to their next visit here in Vancouver.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who made all our events a huge success, and for the spirit of togetherness that was displayed during the events. A special thank you to the KenBC officials who came out to show their support.

The Kenyan team sends their warmest regards to the Kenyan community here in BC for their support. They stated Vancouver is one of the cities they will always look forward to visiting, especially because of the warm welcome they received while they were here.

Native Events Entertainment will continue to host events that foster unity among Kenyans here in BC and Canada to ensure that we keep our culture/heritage alive. Like our page at https://www.facebook.com/Native-Events-Entertainment-221316187880883/ to get the latest.
