There will be hors d’oeuvres and beverages provided free of charge, and alcoholic beverages will be available through a cash bar. We will also have a silent auction to help raise funds for the Gala.
The CCGSD is always focused on our work in schools, as such, extra proceeds made from this event are directed into our programming across Canada.
This is a fully accessible event, and childcare will be available.
