ToqueCateringLogoWe’d like to take a moment to thank our caterers, Toque Catering. As most of your know, a lot of the Desert Bus crew are stuck here for many MANY hours during the run and, as as it turns out, we need food and drink to survive (who knew, right?). While Toque isn’t technically a sponsor, we’d like to thank them anyway for bringing us healthy meals that keep us driving!

Located in Victoria, BC, Toque Catering provides a myriad of culinary solutions for events and gatherings big and small. From galas and fundraisers to gourmet boxed lunches, media events, weddings and seated dinners, they can assist with all aspects of planning. Their chefs will ensure each menu is perfectly tailored to accommodate each event’s style and culinary needs.

From all of us at Desert Bus, we’d like to thank Toque Catering for the wonderful food!
