If only hospital food could include fresh tortellini and chicken parmigiana, like the kind served at the Italian-styled gala for the Queensway Carleton Hospital, held at the Sala San Marco banquet hall in Little Italy on Saturday night.
There were chestnuts roasting, accordions playing and a five-course dinner, just like nonna used to make. For the men, the “George Clooney in Italy” look was all the rage.
Prizes were two Air Canada tickets to Italy and a stylish electric scooter from Scooteretti. You could pose with it in the party photo booth, with the Leaning Tower of Pisa as the superimposed backdrop.
A crowd of 363 came together to raise $200,000 for the hospital’s Acute Care for the Elderly (ACE) Unit. The hospital is in the process of raising $3 million for a new $11-million, 34-bed unit that will treat seniors with various complex health conditions.

Ottawa’s west-end population is the third-fasting aging population in Canada, after Vancouver and Toronto. As a result, the hospital is focusing on how to best treat their frail and elderly patients “with an absolute focus on getting them up and mobile and back home,” said QCH Foundation president and CEO Melanie Adams. “Every day that a patient of that age spends in bed they lose five per cent of their muscle strength.”
Joining her was hospital CEO Tom Schonberg and board chair Clare Beckton; Dan Greenberg and his wife, Barbara Crook, from presenting sponsor Ferguslea Properties; and matriarch Shirley Greenberg as honorary chair.
Italian Ambassador Gian Lorenzo Cornado and his wife, Martine, attended while CFRA Radio host Steve Madely MCed and Kent Browne from Royal LePage, Team Realty and Gale Real Estate, led the live auction.
There was a classy dinner for eight at the Italian ambassador’s historic home in Gatineau to bid on and a smashing experience as a driver in the next Arnprior Demolition Derby. Also up for grabs: a stay at Peter Nicholson‘s Grand Isle Resort and Spa in the Bahamas and the opportunity to put the pedal to the metal in a Ferrari at Calabogie Motorsports Park.
The gala marked the fourth year that the QCH Foundation has hosted a culturally themed gala, having previously done Argentina, Barbados and China. The hospital’s $3-million ACE unit campaign is part of its larger six-year, $30-million Advancing Care for All Ages campaign being led by community builder Ron Prehogan.
