Join us for Merrymount’s 2026 Annual Gala
You are invited to help light the way
Because every child deserves a guiding light
An evening of connection, celebration and community awaits at Merrymount’s 2026 Annual Gala, presented by Rembrandt Homes, on Thursday, November 5 at Bellamere Winery & Event Centre.
Last year’s Gala brought our community together for an unforgettable evening in support of children and families, raising more than $72,000. This November, we’re gathering once again, with a new theme: Light the Way.
Light can mean many things: hope when things feel uncertain, guidance through a difficult moment, or simply knowing someone is there when you need them. At Merrymount, children and families turn to us during challenging times, and the support of our community makes it possible for us to be there.
Guests can look forward to an evening of great food, entertainment, fundraising and connection, all in the beautiful setting of Bellamere Winery & Event Centre.
All funds raised go towards our 24/7 Child Mental Wellness Program, which promotes social, emotional, behavioural, and mental wellness in children aged 0–12. As the need for children’s mental wellness services continues to rise, so does the importance of support that is accessible, responsive, and rooted in a trauma-informed, strength-based approach. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and navigate life's challenges with confidence. Through compassionate support, meaningful connections, and access to care, children can discover hope, build resilience, and find a brighter path forward.

Hors d’oeuvres, a delicious dinner and wine to complement your meal
An exciting silent auction
Entertainment throughout the evening
