The Spinal Cord Injury Ontario celebrated a milestone anniversary on October 15 with a gala at the Grand Luxe Event Boutique. Titled "True North," the benefit paid homage to all things Canadian. "We are celebrating our 70th year as an organization, and wanted to have a theme that tied in with our history" said event manager Lynn Mineque. "As well, we’ve ran fund-raising galas in the past that celebrated other cultures and they were a hit, so we know that our supporters enjoy cultural themes."
The evening drew 250 guests and raised $125,000. Here's a look inside the event, which celebrated Canada through tribal dancers, maple syrup, and more.
