So long hospital gown, hello formal gown. A record crowd of 640 people, all in the mood to celebrate groundbreaking research and community support, came together Saturday for The Ottawa Hospital Gala, held in the fun and vibrant ballroom of The Westin hotel.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, U.S. Ambassador Bruce Heyman, British High Commissioner Howard Drake, and Ottawa Liberal MPPs John Fraser, Madeleine Meilleur and Yasir Naqvi were just some of the faces spotted in the cross-section of leaders in medicine, business and government.
From the hospital was its president and CEO, Dr. Jack Kitts, along with Dr. Duncan Stewart, scientific director and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

Just so you know, it’s not your typical black-tie dinner gala that sees attendees home in time for the late-night news. “It’s a very, very social evening,” said Tim Kluke, president and CEO of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation. “We have very few speeches and everything is about you mixing and mingling. This dance floor goes all night. Once the band kicks in, it’s party time.”
The evening, presented by Nordion, recognized the record $9.7 million raised in the past year for medical research. It also shone the light on three exceptional scientists.

Dr. Barbara Vanderhyden was given the Grimes Research Career Achievement Award for her dedication to ovarian cancer and her strides to create new treatments for the disease while Dr. Marc Rodger was named Chrétien Researcher of the Year for his study that found blood thinners ineffective for pregnant women at risk of developing blood clots.
The Worton Researcher in Training Award went to Dr. Matias Alvarez-Saavedra for his work, under the mentorship of Dr. David Picketts, in regenerative medicine. He’s looking at how cells regenerate in the damaged brain to get a better understanding of the brain’s ability to rewire and repair itself.
Lawyer Randy Marusyk and Hilary Phenix with their dinner guests, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and Frank McArdle, at The Ottawa Hospital Gala held at The Westin hotel on Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014.
Vanderhyden was “honoured, thrilled and exited” to be receiving the career achievement award. “We obviously work very hard, and every once in a while it’s nice to get the recognition that we’re doing something right,” she told Around Town.
Her lab colleagues were there that night to help celebrate. “It’s not a solo effort. I get to stand in front of everybody and say ‘Thank you’ but it really is a team effort,” said Vanderhyden, who this past spring was presented with the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award for combining volunteerism with her scientific work as a cancer researcher.
