It's hard to believe that we are about to host our Life Commitment Gala for the 17th year in a row. Over the years, people have come and gone, but two very special attendees have been a constant presence. We owe a huge thank you to Fred Lee and Gloria Macarenko for their many years of dedication to this event, and the Centre.

We couldn't ask for a better duo to guide us through the evening. They have helped us sustain a mission that began with their good friend Shirley Young, Dr. Peter's mom. This event takes a community, and we're so grateful that they are part of ours. We can't wait to see them on our stage in just one month! We hope you'll join us.

Holidays can be hard when you don't have somewhere to be. That's why it's so important for us to keep our doors open on stat holidays. Luckily, we were able to continue to offer vital services to the people who need it most yesterday, thanks to the generosity of BCLC and Parq Casino, who sponsored the cost to keep the Centre open on Canada Day.
