Why does CANFAR’s mission to end the HIV epidemic in Canada resonate with you?
Supporting CANFAR for more than two decades has been a privilege. HIV/AIDS has touched countless lives, and while research has brought us meaningful progress, there is still work to be done. CANFAR’s mission represents hope, compassion, and equity — values I hold close — and I’m committed to helping achieve a future where HIV is no longer a public health crisis in Canada.
What's the most rewarding part of being a BSE Co-chair? What fuels your volunteerism for this event?
For me, the most rewarding part of being a BSE Co-chair is seeing people unite around a common goal: to end HIV in Canada. Bloor Street Entertains is elegant and inspiring, but at its core, it’s about fueling research and education that change lives. What keeps me committed is knowing that our collective efforts are writing the next chapter in this fight.
What's in store for guests at BSE? Can you share any exciting details?
This year’s BSE promises unforgettable experiences—think dazzling decor, curated menus from top restaurants and catering teams, and amazing performances. Each venue has its own unique vibe, and guests can expect surprises that make the evening feel magical from start to finish.
What's in store for guests at BSE? Can you share any exciting details?
Guests can look forward to an unforgettable evening. From exceptional dining experiences in Toronto’s most iconic venues to a vibrant after party at the Four Seasons, the night will be filled with style, generosity, and purpose. The silent auction is always a highlight, offering unique opportunities in beauty, travel, and art — a reminder that luxury and philanthropy can come together to drive change.
What do you hope to achieve with BSE? What do you want guests to remember after the evening?
I hope every guest leaves not only having enjoyed an incredible evening, but also feeling part of something bigger — a movement to end HIV in Canada. I want them to remember that their presence and contributions matter, that they are helping transform lives, and that together, we can achieve what once seemed impossible.
How would you encourage folks to get involved with ending HIV in Canada beyond attending Bloor Street Entertains?
Ending HIV in Canada requires all of us. Beyond this gala, I encourage people to support CANFAR through donations, volunteering, and by using their voices to reduce stigma and raise awareness. Share the message, educate others, and be part of the conversation. When we each do our part, we create the momentum needed to finally end HIV in Canada.
Do you have any favourite/impactful moments from past Bloor Street Entertains? What were they and why?
There are many, but what always stays with me is the energy when everyone gathers at the after party. In that moment, you can feel the joy, solidarity, and collective mission in the room. It’s a lasting reminder that this event is not just about glamour — it’s about unity, hope, and a future where HIV is no longer part of our story.
