The scientific world of medical research, usually stuck in a sterile work environment, got to spend a memorable evening Tuesday surrounded by ornate tapestries, sculptures and other decorative furnishings found inside the finest Art Deco building around, the Embassy of France. Ambassador Nicolas Chapuis and his wife were there to greet some 145 guests to their resplendent residence on Sussex Drive for a cocktail reception held for sponsors of The Ottawa Hospital’s upcoming signature gala.

The embassy is located next to an even more famous residence, 24 Sussex, soon to be subjected to heavy moving-van traffic. Its neighbours also include historic Earnscliffe, official residence of British High Commissioner Howard Drake and his wife, Gill. They were at the party, having played host to their share of cocktail receptions for the hospital.

Senior research scientist Dr. Michel Chrétien was in attendance, as was his brother, Jean Chrétien (both wearing their Order of Canada pins). The former prime minister is counsel at global law firm Dentons, as is Greg Kane, past chair of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation Board.

Kane is also co-chairing the gala with Whitney Fox. Her other half is Dan Goldberg, president and CEO of Telesat. It sponsored the reception with Royal Bank of Canada, represented by regional president Tina Sarellas.
Dr. Duncan Stewart, vice president of research at The Ottawa Hospital, spoke in the grand salon about some of the ground-breaking work being done in Ottawa with stem-cell research and cancer-fighting viruses. He briefly touched on a new viral therapy targeting pancreatic cancer, one of the most serious and difficult cancers to treat. This medical advance and others will be celebrated at the sold-out black-tie gala happening Saturday, November 21 at The Westin hotel. More than 650 people are expected to attend.

Also in the crowd were The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s board chair, Steve West, Mayor Jim Watson and such real estate developers as Minto Group CEO Michael Waters and Claridge Homes president and CEO Bill Malhotra. Well-known project manager Graham Bird attended. So did Subhas ‘Sam’ Bhargava and his wife, Uttra Bhargava. They’re among the Ottawa folks and businesses being honoured for their generosity, two nights before the hospital gala, at the annual Ottawa Philanthropy Awards dinner.
