Gala

The gala promises an elegant and exciting evening of musical performances, good food, dancing, live auction, and so much more, while raising funds and bringing awareness to Emily’s House children’s hospice. With thanks to co-lead sponsors Agnico Eagle and Kinross Gold, and a dedicated committee of volunteers, the event is held approximately every other year (around May / June). Sponsorship and online ticket announcements will be posted in Events.
