Vancity has been supporting people in our communities since 1946, like local food creators. As part of our Made in Vancouver series spotlighting local businesses and artists, we talked to Matthew Murtagh-Wu, about his passion for food and the customers that love it.
“My business is mandated on sourcing as many ingredients as it can from the old Chinese vendors of Vancouver’s Chinatown and, through the mind of a mixed-race Chinese-Canadian entrepreneur/cook, create something both new and traditional,” Murtagh-Wu told Daily Hive.
“All my dumplings are handmade, the old school way out of Coho Commissary in East Van. My food can be found in a growing list of vendors and online delivery services throughout the Lower Mainland,” he added.

“There is so much local talent in the Sunshine Coast, and we are thrilled to provide affordable, community-focused, and well-equipped spaces for passionate food and beverage makers to do what they love and create what they love,” explains Andrew Barnes, CEO of Coho Collective.
“Our commissaries have served as an incubator for so many small businesses that have gone on to great growth. Most of all, many have created long lasting friendships with fellow peers in the industry. Longman Developments is the perfect community-minded partner to help us build Coho Gibsons.”
