Last year, we danced, celebrated, raised our glasses and filled the room with an energy we’ll never forget. ✨
From the exceptional dining and premium cocktails, to the entertainment and inspiring stories, Aurora Ball is a night designed to feel as incredible as the impact it creates. This year, we're turning up the energy and elevating the experience for a night best shared with family, friends, co-workers and colleagues, all in support of The Ottawa Cancer Foundation.

The kind of night you'll wish you hadn't missed!💜

Every path, flower bed, and carefully maintained corner of Cancer Survivor's Park helps create a place where people can find peace, hope, and connection.

It all happens because of the generous community partners who give their time, talent, and care to preserve this special space for everyone who visits.

Today, we're recognizing the landscaping companies that help bring the park to life each season. Their commitment reaches far beyond beautiful gardens—it helps create a place where memories are honoured, conversations begin, and healing continues.

Please join us in thanking these incredible supporters for everything they do.

What a beautiful day for the 27th Annual Guy Laplante Golf Tournament at Falcon Ridge Golf Club! ☀️⛳

For all 27 years, The Ottawa Cancer Foundation has been the tournament’s charity recipient—an incredible commitment to an important cause.

Thank you to the Laplante family, the organizers, sponsors, golfers and volunteers who continue to make this special event possible year after year.
