A night of celebration and generosity in support of Queensway Carleton Hospital.
All that glitters was gold — and so was the generosity in the room.
A sold out crowd of close to 600 guests joined us at the Brookstreet Hotel for annual Lumière Gala in support of Queensway Carleton Hospital. With gold around every corner, big-hearted giving and plenty of unforgettable moments, it was a night that truly shone.
Lumière Gala 2026: All That Glitters Is Gold, presented by RBC, brought the theme to life with an evening filled with gold, sparkle and plenty to celebrate. Guests enjoyed delicious food and drinks, exciting raffle prizes and a live auction featuring unique experiences and must-have items! And just when we thought the night couldn’t get any brighter, it ended with a spectacular fireworks display.
But the heart of Lumière is what happens beyond the celebration.
Together, our guests helped raise an incredible $222,183.30 in support of QCH. This generosity will help fund vital medical equipment, supporting QCH as it continues to deliver exceptional care to patients and families in our community.
This year’s celebration was especially meaningful as QCH marked 50 years of caring for our community. For five decades, the hospital has been there for patients and families when they need it most. Thanks to the generosity of our community, QCH can continue to meet the needs of our growing community for years to come.
“Health is everything. So, in life, let’s make sure we all have fun. Let’s make sure we have good health. Let’s make sure we all support Queensway Carleton Hospital.”
— Terry Matthews, Founder and Chairman, Wesley Clover International.
