LaSalle College Vancouver is pleased to announce the appointment of Robin Dhir to its Board of Directors. As a community leader, businessman, corporate director, and philanthropist, Robin brings a wealth of experience, a deep network, and a strong commitment to fostering economic growth and creating lasting partnerships both locally and internationally.

Robin brings extensive experience in leading the United Way of British Columbia Board as Chair, making history as the first South Asian President of the Vancouver Club in its 131 years, and driving the growth of his family business, Twin Brook Developments. Additionally, as a senior strategic advisor to Fasken, he leverages his vast network to foster business development, forge strategic partnerships, and strengthen business ties between Canada and India.

Beyond his business success, Robin’s passion for community service is equally noteworthy. His dedication to health, education, and youth-focused sports initiatives plays a central role in his life. He founded the Night of Miracles gala, a South Asian-focused fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital, which raised over $7 million during its 12-year run.

Robin’s career is beyond business—he is committed to building meaningful, long-term relationships with corporate leaders and community organizations. Integrity and community service are a cornerstone of Robin’s personal and professional philosophy. His extensive board experience and prominence in Vancouver’s corporate and philanthropic communities make him an outstanding addition to LaSalle College Vancouver’s Board.

“We are thrilled to welcome Robin to our Board of Directors,” said Leslie "Skip" Triplett, Board Chair of LaSalle College Vancouver. “His board experience coupled with his high profile in the Lower Mainland’s corporate and not-for-profit communities make him an excellent addition to our Board of Directors.”

The appointment of Robin Dhir underscores LaSalle College Vancouver’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence, strategic growth, and the development of a global network. We look forward to benefiting from his leadership as we continue to focus on innovation, fostering growth, and creating meaningful partnerships across communities.
