Tayybeh Media Kit

Starting late 2015, tens of thousands of Syrian persons and families who had been uprooted from their homes began arriving in Canada to settle and begin new lives. With many coming to British Columbia. In a short five years, Tayybeh has grown by leaps and bounds, employing numerous women who have become notable chefs in the city's culinary scene. Tayybeh's catering service is now one of Vancouver's most recognized and celebrated providers of premium Middle Eastern fare at office lunches, banquets, conferences, receptions, social events, weddings, and other functions.

Tayybeh's mission is to continue to empower newcomer women and offer opportunities for employment, financial independence and social integration by offering and highlighting their delicious and authentic local food.
