IN GOOD COMPANY

Our social columnist shines the spotlight on a Chinese gala and a luncheon for the B.C. Women’s Hospital.

Toronto’s Shangri-La Hotel was dressed in red and gold for Fête Chinoise: Luck & Ritual. Guests enjoyed dumplings as they perused rooms themed around Chinese holidays and traditions, like the Dragon Boat Festival. The event, produced by Palettera, brought in over $82,000 for the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation and the Fu-Gen Theatre Company.

Chantal Kreviazuk dazzled the crowd with a performance at the B.C. Women’s Hospital Foundation’s Illuminations luncheon. At the Four Seasons Hotel Vancouver, CTV’s Tamara Taggart shared that a record-breaking $280,000 was raised, benefiting the Women’s Health Research Institute and the B.C. Women’s Centre for Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis.
