It was a compelling reason for Best of Toronto to visit Hamilton this past weekend. That reason obviously being the JUNOS.
Here are some of the numerous highlights from my experience at JUNOS this weekend.
March 6th, 2015 marked a 50’s themed “Affair to Remember” for the annual fundraising gala for Canada’s National Ballet School, supporting and cultivating the talents of the next generation of the brightest dance artists.
Mommy and Orphan Black were big winners at this year’s Canadian Screen Awards, taking place this time at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. A much welcome change to one of my absolute favourite venues in Toronto.
Boasting to be the biggest benefit gala celebrating Chinese New Year in Canada, the 26th annual Dragon Ball was hosted at a new venue accommodating 1,100 guests for a grand Chinese New Year celebration in support of the Yee Hong Foundation’s dedicated services to local senior communities.
Last night’s sold-out 2015 edition of the Motionball gala in Toronto was a glamorous charity bash once again taking over all the rooms of the Liberty Grand filled by 2,500 guests. We rated last year’s Motionball as one of Toronto’s Top Annual Events of 2014 and this was another great one jam-packed with entertainment, art, and fun all coming together in support of Special Olympics Canada.
The CAFA awards (Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards) was the place to be last night for everyone in the fashion industry. The Fairmont Royal York housed the gala for the second year in a row and brought out the fashion vip, who were carefully styled and studded to the max.
