The theme for the evening was Mille Feux [A thousand lights], since the Foundation wanted to illustrate that the reasons for becoming socially involved are like individual flames that, when combined, form an impressive and inspiring whole.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Speakers included our president, Serge Gendron, Fran&ccedil;ois Perras, president and CEO of ArcelorMittal Long Products Canada and the event&rsquo;s honorary president, as well as Jean-Fran&ccedil;ois Archambault, founder and executive director of La Tabl&eacute;e des Chefs. They each had an inspirational personal message to share with us.<\/p>\n<p>Our other event partners were &Eacute;d&eacute;enne, designer of high-end jewellery, and Claude Chevalier, producer of the Burgundy wines that we enjoyed throughout the evening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our culinary wizards once again dazzled the guests with their amazing dishes! Thanks to our extraordinary volunteer chefs and their crew: Constance Tass&eacute;-Gagnon, Vanessa Trahan, Alexandre Gosselin, Fran&ccedil;ois Desroches, Olivier Perret, Jonathan Lapierre-R&eacute;hayem and Eric Champagne, not to mention our fabulous sommelier Simon Thibaudeau.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am personally very thankful to have had the support of such a professional team in orchestrating this remarkable event. Thanks to Isabelle Marquis, Marie Breton, G&eacute;raldine Raedemaeker and Eric Lorent, to the entire team at La Tabl&eacute;e des Chefs, to our 30 volunteers, and special thanks to Catherine Bagdian.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The event generated net proceeds of $321,000, which will be redistributed in our community across Canada over the next year to the dozens of organizations that the Foundation is proud to support.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to welcoming back each of our guests in 2020!
