THE GOVERNMENT HOUSE FOUNDATION BALL
NOVEMBER 4, 2023
The Government House Foundation Gala Ball is an elegant black-tie affair steeped in history and tradition. Join the festivities this year on Saturday November 4.
The event features a fabulous dance band and extraordinary movable feast with gourmet delights prepared by award-winning Government House Chef Aleks Kornat. Signature cocktails and fine wines will be served at the open bar in the ballroom, while the finest single malts will be poured in the scotch tent.
Raffle prizes will offer the chance to win lunch or dinner at the Deep Cove Chalet, Giardino Restaurant in Vancouver, or a stunning picnic basket filled with singular spirits and treats prepared by the Chef… and more!
The Gala is a fundraiser for the Government House Foundation which supports programs and projects of the Lieutenant Governor and also helps to maintain the estate’s 22 acres of unspoiled Garry oak woodlands and 15 acres of manicured formal gardens.
