North York Women's Shelter's 7th annual Hope Gala is a celebration of extraordinary women. We will be honouring a former resident, who has overcome abuse to create a successful life free of violence, with our Courage Award, as well as presenting the Fran Chaplin Award to our outstanding volunteer of the year.

Our Hope Award, given to an individual who has demonstrated an outstanding commitment and record of contribution to improving the lives of women and girls will be presented to Shanan Spencer-Brown. As Executive Director of Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, Shanan leads Canada's largest public foundation dedicated exclusively to supporting women's shelters and ending violence against women and children.
This Mother's Day support NYWS and celebrate your mom while honouring the mothers at North York Women's Shelter.
This year's Hope Gala will again be hosted by a CTV personality. Our evening will include fine dining, live entertainment, and an amazing silent auction - along with many door prizes!
When: May 10, 2012 - 6:30 pm
Where: Main Ballroom, Vaughan Estate - located at the Estates of Sunnybrook
Map: 2075 Bayview Avenue, Toronto, M4N 3M5

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better. - Deepa Mehta, Oscar Nominated film director and 2008 Hope Gala Honouree
