What an incredible evening at this year’s Doctor’s Dining Duel! ❤️

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU to our amazing community, physicians, healthcare staff, volunteers, sponsors, and local chefs for making this event such a tremendous success. Seeing our community come together in support of local healthcare and physician recruitment is truly inspiring.

A special thank you to the talented restaurants and specialty food purveyors who made this night possible and brought such creativity and passion to the competition: La Guimauverie, Chuck’s Roadhouse Arnprior, Charlie’s Eatery, Biryani House, Hummingbird Chocolate, Negi’s, Chicken Palace, and Aspira Island View. Your delicious appetizers and enthusiasm helped create an unforgettable experience for everyone who attended.

Because of your generosity and support, we are proud to share that we raised an incredible $25,000 for physician recruitment in our community! These funds will directly support efforts to bring more physicians to our area and strengthen healthcare close to home.

This event would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors. A huge shout out and heartfelt thank you to: NuTech, Pillar 5, Clancy’s, Pilon’s Family Funeral Home, REMAX (Charlotte Leitch and Lindsay Ralph), JP2G Consultants Inc., KU Power Group, and Cavanagh Group. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the many generous retail and business donors who contributed to our auction and prizes (far too many to list!). Your generosity and community spirit helped make the evening even more special and successful.

We would also like to sincerely thank the Town of Arnprior for graciously providing the space for this event and helping us bring the community together.

Cheers to Cold Bear Brewery and Farmgate Cider for keeping everyone refreshed with their delicious drinks throughout the evening!

Thank you to our talented photographer, Gideon Okuazun, for beautifully capturing the memories of the night, and to our amazing entertainment, Redneck Limousine, for bringing such fantastic energy to the event. A special thank you as well to Jamie Cybulski, from myFM, for doing a wonderful job emceeing the evening. Thank you to our live auctioneer, John O’Neill, whose enthusiasm and energy helped make the live auction such a fun and successful part of the evening.

Most importantly, thank you to every single person who attended, voted, donated, supported, and celebrated with us. Your kindness, generosity, and belief in strengthening healthcare in our community made this event truly special.

Your support leaves a lasting impact, and we are so grateful to be part of such a caring and compassionate community.

On behalf of the Physicians Recruitment Committee and the Doctors Dining Duel Committee, We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your remarkable contributions to the success of our recent event. Your generous support played an instrumental role in creating an unforgettable experience for all attendees.

We are especially grateful to our incredible sponsors—NuTech Precision Metals, Pillar5 Pharma Inc., Pilon Family Funeral Home, Remax, Claudia’s Art and Deco, Clancy’s Drug Store, Scotia Wealth Management, Mackie Homes, Jamieson Planning, Town of Arnprior, and White Lake Women's Institute. Your unwavering commitment to our cause has made a significant impact, and we are truly thankful for your partnership.

We would also like to express our sincere appreciation to our talented culinary teams, including our dedicated physicians and the exceptional chefs and restaurants who curated a delightful array of appetizers and beverages. The culinary journey you provided was nothing short of extraordinary. From Charlie’s Eatery with Danny Snowden and Dr. Gutauskas’s creamy curry apple chutney bites, to the wonderful pupusas and arroz con leche from Island View Retirement Residence, Aspira Retirement Living, featuring Joanne Fournier and Dr. Kurian, each dish was a testament to your creativity and skill. The flavors of Kasia’s Gourmet Kitchen, Redneck Bistro, and Mighty Fine Bakehouse, along with the maple kissed beef from dOMe Retreat and the delightful veg samosa chat from Biryani House Arnprior, all contributed greatly to the evening’s ambiance, delighting our guests.

Furthermore, we are immensely grateful for the delicious drinks prepared by Cold Bear Brewery, Farmgate Craft Cider, and Dunrobin Distilleries, which complemented the culinary delights and created a truly festive atmosphere. Your meticulous attention to every detail did not go unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate your efforts.

Once again, thank you for your invaluable support and for helping us create such a memorable occasion. Your contributions have left a lasting impression,
