The 37th Teddy Bear Affair returned November 5th to the MTCC. This Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada Gala is one of the longest running and most attended fundraisers with a commitment to children, youth, and families. This year the gala chose to focus on the well-being of Indigenous communities with a goal to enhancing the lives of Indigenous children and the insurmountable challenges they face with a new program titled “The Stand Up For Kids Legacy Society”. Outside of the fabulous entertainment, a highlight of the gala was a timed 5 minute silent auction where an amazing $100,000 was raised in record time as a challenge to all guests using their phones at once. Combined with sales of those iconic Teddy Bears, this was quite the affair.
