Everyone — from the chefs to the guests to the animals themselves — deserved a big round of “apaws” for supporting the Ottawa Humane Society’s 14th annual Summer Harvest Garden Party that took place at City Hall’s Jean Pigott Place this past Sunday.
Close to 250 people turned out for the $125-a-ticket party. It raised $42,500 to help care for the thousands of homeless animals that end up at the shelter each year.
The foodie event featured yummy cuisine from star chefs, including Tim Wasylko from the Prime Minister’s Residence, John Morris from the National Arts Centre and Kenton Leier from the Westin Hotel. Salt, Grounded Kitchen and Coffeehouse, Zen Kitchen, El Camino were also among the 17 participating venues.

The fundraiser was held in honour of its founder, the late Kurt Waldele. The animal lover was the former head chef of the NAC and was well-respected and liked by all. His peers and protégés have banded together since Waldele’s death five years ago to keep his fundraising feast going.
In the crowd was Robert Bourassa, former chef and owner of Café Henri Burger and a personal friend of Waldele’s. He was the event’s honourary chair for many years.

“It’s a key event in my social calendar,” he told Around Town. “I have found it’s one of the best opportunities to get many great chefs in this city together, and the camaraderie has been wonderful. One would think it would be very competitive but there’s such an openness here.”
The afternoon event featured a silent and live auction, but what stole the show was the parade of lovable dogs, plus one cat named Rosie, from the OHS’s Brightening Lives program. Afterward, the leashed animals rubbed furry elbows with the guests.

She blew a kiss to her late sister — former MP and NCC chair Jean Pigott, whose portrait hangs at the municipal venue named after her.
