It’s official. The first Mayor’s Gala #ForStouffville is set for Sept. 20. The event is in support of the newly created Whitchurch-Stouffville Legacy Fund -- a fund created to help support the financial needs and efforts of local service groups and charities.

This inaugural Gala #ForStouffville, will be hosted on the grounds of the Willow Springs Winery. The event will gather corporations, local businesses and residents for a spectacular evening in hopes of raising $100,000 to support the Whitchurch-Stouffville Legacy Fund.

The evening will culminate with a special ceremony recognizing the first Community Impact Awards. The awards were created to celebrate the outstanding contributions of local residents and will recognize individuals in specific areas including health, inclusivity, sustainability, creativity and generational support. Submissions for nominations are currently being accepted at www.townofws.ca/cia, and the deadline is July 31.

“We are so pleased with the creation of our WS Legacy Fund, The Community Impact Awards, and the Mayor’s Gala #ForStouffville,” said Mayor Iain Lovatt. “These vehicles were constructed with the specific goal to assist, protect, develop and celebrate the residents of Whitchurch-Stouffville. We look forward to the future recognition and success of all these initiatives.”
