As you’ve probably heard by now, Jan 28, 2015 is the day to talk about mental health and to end the stigma associated with mental health. I’ve watched the new one-hour documentary about Clara’s Big Ride.

You can watch it now online and on-demand on Crave.TV…
The nationwide Motionball is back in Toronto and it’s always a mega crowd-pleasing charity party. Early bird tickets are already sold out.
It’s a special year for the Toronto Public Library. They will be celebrating the opening of the 100th branch and also hosting the 10th annual Book Lover’s Ball. This charity black-tie gala will feature a new format including live music, dancing and even one-on-one Scrabble games with some of your favourite authors all in a library/party setting.
So if you love books here’s your chance to celebrate as the literary world comes to life.
It’s that time of year where we look back at our favourite events in Toronto that happened this past year (Top events of 2013 here, by the way). There are many factors to consider when it comes to what makes an event “the best” year after year. You work hard for your money so if you choose to spend it to have a good time, then you naturally expect to get what you pay for.
A festive atmosphere, black ties and fashionable dresses, a banquet of food and a feast for the eyes. The 23rd annual Cathay Ball in support of Mon Sheong Foundation marked its 50th golden anniversary as Toronto’s first and largest Chinese charity.
With World AIDS Day on December 1st, it’s only fitting that we talk about CANFAR – the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research – Canada’s only independent charitable foundation dedicated to eliminating HIV and AIDS through research. Every year around this time, CANFAR holds Bloor Street Entertains – its largest fundraising event, bringing an evening of glitz and glamour to the generous donors.
