“Best Bash of the Season” on July 19th

Preparations for the 5th Annual Lumière Gala are moving forward full throttle and we’re very happy this year to support The University of Ottawa Heart Institute. What local society columnist Caroline Phillips called the “best bash of the season” last year will take place on July 19 this year and promises yet again to be a fabulous event. The soirée will feature a four-diamond taste of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific with 11 stations celebrating regional foods from across Canada paired with Canadian wines, a silent and live auction for luxurious prizes, live music and spectacular fireworks.
