MAYOR’S MESSAGE
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
Welcome friends to the upcoming Pickering Mayor’s Gala! This event is to be held on Friday November 17, 2023 at the exciting Pickering Casino Resort. This year’s theme is “Hail to Our Heroes – a Tribute to Our First Responders”, honouring those who keep our community safe. Don’t miss this unforgettable event!
This theme is particularly important, given the challenges we have faced over the past few years and the sacrifices made by those who serve on the front lines. The Pickering Mayor’s Gala is Durham Region’s signature black-tie charity fundraiser, bringing together our community’s leaders and businesses to raise funds for the Ajax Pickering Hospital and other worthy charities. This year, in addition to raising funds for mental health programs at the hospital, we will be supporting Wounded Warriors Canada, the Carion Fenn Foundation – Mental Health Chats, and our local branches of The Royal Canadian Legion.
Through the generosity and commitment of our business leaders who have been integral to our community’s growth and development, we are looking forward to capturing the energy and excitement that our city is becoming renowned for. This will be an unforgettable and dynamic experience for all guests and we can’t wait to see you there.
