This is something we set out to do over a year ago. We had an idea, built a team and got to work. We knew it would be a bit of work but we didn’t know what we didn’t know.

We failed repeatedly. We got up. And judging by all the rave reviews, we succeeded when it mattered most. We wanted to host an evening like no other for some Amazing People from our community.

We did!

  • Incredible numbers from CTV Ottawa’s Stefan Keyes and company to set the tone.
  • No speeches and a flowing evening.
  • Great MC’s (wink, wink) and a wonderful meal from the OCC. Inspiring stories.
  • A flash mob to get the party started.
  • Wow!

You’ve set your goal and you achieved it. Now what? I’m gonna take some time to take it all in and reflect. And maybe even relax. The great thing is that it’s similar to doing an Ironman as you take a few pauses in the days after the big day and you find yourself with a big goofy grin on your face for no reason. Amazing.

I feel a bit hungover and it has nothing to do with the Rosehall Run wine. I will have to fill a few hours and bring some focus to something else.

I’m sure I will survive…

Sorry for being all about the Gala but not only do I think it’s pretty cool (I’m obviously biased) but it’s also noteworthy since it does good and highlights so many cool stories in the community.

Here is the segment that ran on CTV Ottawa News, a nice recap of the entire evening. Okay, no more Gala blog posts for a bit…
