The Culinary Gala held last Saturday was a resounding success, raising over $85,000 to equip the kitchen at the new Sports and Recreation Centre. The event would not have been possible without the dedication of a passionate committee of volunteers who mobilized Montreal’s culinary giants to make this gala unforgettable.
Congratulations to the organizing committee:
Siobahn Babkine, Kirk Coleman, Julie Ducharme, Jean Ducharme, Derek Elliot, Sherri McGurnaghan, Janet Masella, Eliane Rouben, Alexandra Tremblay, Carolyn Wells, Brad Wing, and the Town’s Recreation and Culture team.
A special thank you to the event’s major sponsors, the generous food sponsors and to all the auction item donors. We would also like to thank Fred Morin who helped bring these renowned chefs and restaurateurs together and thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket or placed a bid during the auction.
Looking ahead, we are excited that a fully equipped kitchen, where workshops on cooking, eating well, and promoting a healthy lifestyle will be available to all residents.
