All that was missing was the sight of softly falling snow outside the Fairmont Château Laurier on Monday night as the historic landmark hotel was practically Santa central, playing host again to the 18th annual Trees of Hope for CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.)
“If this can’t get you in the Christmas spirit, nothing will,” CHEO president and CEO Alex Munter casually remarked inside the French Renaissance-style ballroom that bustled with live music, twinkling trees, and darling children with one eye on all the holiday magic in the room and the other on the tempting treats.
Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier’s Trees of Hope for CHEO, on Monday, November 30, 2015, with clinical coordinator Pamela Baker, occupational therapist Julianne Noseworthy and registered nurses Claire Bahati and Sarah Hendry from BRiDGES-Passerelle, a collaborative service that provides interventions for youth with complex mental health needs. Their tree, sponsored by Bell “Let’s Talk”, was the winner of the Royal-Tree category.
The tree-topping star of the show is Deneen Perrin, director of public relations for the Château Laurier and a board member with the CHEO Foundation. She leads a volunteer committee of organizers in creating this city’s most popular kick-off-to-Christmas event, benefiting sick children and youth.
Fairmont Chateau Laurier general manager Claude Sauvé with his director of public relations, event organizer Deneen Perrin, and his wife, Deborah Sauvé, at the 18th Annual Trees of Hope for CHEO, held at the hotel on Monday, November 30, 2015.
The evening drew hundreds of invited guests to bid on some 370 silent auction items and buy raffle tickets from friendly firefighters to win a prize of two tickets to any Air Canada destination in North America or a $1,000 Jubilee Fine Jewellers gift card.
Organizers were hoping to top last year’s total of $89,000. “What’s really interesting is that when we started this event 18 years ago, we actually raised $3,000 and only had three trees, so it definitely has taken shape,” said Perrin.
In the festive crowd were CHEO pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Vassilyadi and the CHEO Research Institute’s CEO and scientific director, Dr. Martin Osmond. Also seen were hotel general manager Claude Sauvé and his wife, Deborah. She was a volunteer judge with Munter, Michelle Taggart from star sponsor Tamarack, wedding and event planner Nancy Tremblay from WEDECOR, and Majic 100 morning show hosts Angie Poirier and “Stuntman” Stu Schwartz.

They faced a daunting task: to choose from a selection of Christmas trees decorated with tremendous creativity and thoughtfulness. This year’s themes were The Nutcracker and Royal-Tree (a clever pun on royalty.) There were 33 trees in all, sponsored at a cost of $1,100 each by local companies and organizations.
Sezlik.com and Royal LePage Team Realty brought their own live Sugar Plum Fairy to daintily tiptoe around their Nutcracker tree while the Bayshore Centre had former fashion designer-turned image maker James Jefferson from Blackbook on its team. He gave new meaning to the traditional Christmas tree skirt, the fabric that covers the stand, with the shopping centre’s holiday mannequin tree. “Our tree is a Size 2,” he quipped.

In the end, the judges chose the entries from Sicotte Guilbault LLP and the Bell “Let’s Talk”-sponsored tree decorated by a team from BRiDGES-Passerelles. It’s a collaborative service between the Youth Services Bureau, CHEO, The Royal and Ottawa Public Health to provide interventions to youth with complex mental health needs. The tree is filled with messages of hope created by youth and woven into their homemade decorations.
All the trees will remain on display in the hotel during the holiday season. The public is encouraged to come see them, vote on their favourite and make a donation to CHEO.
