Dear friends and supporters,

How has your summer been? Do you have any adventures planned?
Come Party With Us!
Join us for Not Another Gala!

We can't remember the last time we spent an evening with friends, enjoying ourselves. Can you?

We’ve missed you all! Let’s party and celebrate our newest neighbours with live local & international music, delicious international cuisine, irresistible silent auction items, and even a surprise or two...

If you follow us on social media, you'll know we haven't shared any details about Not Another Gala. But as loyal subscribers, you get a sneak peak. We'll say this about Not Another Gala - food, friends, fun and festivities! You won't want to miss our special guests either!

Mark your calendars for Friday, August 27th from 6:30 - 10:30pm! This year's event will be a hybrid event - with options for in-person and virtual attendance.

With safety being a big concern on our minds, we are working closely with Public Health and their protocols.
