It was at one time a summer exhibition hall and winter curling rink, but on Saturday the historic Horticulture Building at Lansdowne was looking resplendent as part-art gallery, part-concert hall and part-ballroom for the first-ever Mayor’s Gala for the Arts.
A sold-out crowd of 250 filed into the century-old building in support of the Ottawa Arts Council and Ottawa Art Gallery. The $75,000 raised, as announced that night by Mayor Jim Watson, is being directed toward the Ottawa Art Gallery Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment Project.
The $250-a-ticket evening featured Ottawa-born, world-famous pianist Angela Hewitt, whose floor-length silver sequin gown twinkled under the lights as she worked her magic on her piano.
Guests dined on hors d’oeuvres and a four-course gourmet meal prepared by chefs from Atelier, Beckta and Thyme & Again Creative Catering, with Wellington Gastropub and The Whalesbone.
Ottawa Art Gallery board chair Lawson Hunter from Stikeman Elliott LLP with Ottawa MP and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna (who previously practiced at Stikeman Elliott) at the inaugural Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, held Saturday, October 15, 2016, at the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne.
Mayor Jim Watson welcomed a sold-out crowd of 250 to the inaugural Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, held Saturday, October 15, 2016, at the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne in support the Ottawa Art Gallery Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment Project.
Out showing their support were Ottawa city manager Steve Kanellakos and a whole slew of city councillors. Ottawa Liberal MP Catherine McKenna was seen chatting with OAG board chair Lawson Hunter from Stikeman Elliott (she previously worked at the law firm) while Ottawa Liberal MPP Yasir Naqvi and his wife, Christine McMillan, were dinner guests of Roseann O’Reilly Runte, president of Carleton University. Watson was joined by his sister, Jayne Watson, chief executive of the NAC Foundation.
Also seen was OAG board member Vic Duret, a partner with KPMG. The major accounting firm recently announced its $50,000 donation to the art gallery’s $3.5-million Art Now – L’art ici capital campaign.
The new and improved arts building — part of a greater effort to revitalize the downtown — will be ready by next fall, the year of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

The other PM’s son at gala
It’s never been trendier to be the son of a former prime minister. Nobody was photographed as much as Ben Mulroney during Thursday’s exclusive, 700-person grand opening gala for the $20-million Infinity Convention Centre.
(Second place probably goes to the glamorous mermaid-looking model who posed all night by the oyster bar).
Mulroney is co-host of CTV’s new Your Morning show and eldest son of former PM Brian Mulroney, to whom he’s similar both in looks and good humour. “Up until a couple of years ago, I was referred to as the successful son of a Canadian prime minister,” said Mulroney, before joking that the bar’s now been raised by the son of another former PM. “And now I’m just a talk show host.”
On hand for the opening were the convention centre’s owners: brothers Harry, Sonny and T.J. Sohal, along with Anand Aggarwal and his son, Lalit. The last time Around Town attended a party hosted by Aggarwal it featured a live elephant (it was eight years ago, at his son’s traditional Hindu wedding).
The inaugural Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, held Saturday, October 15, 2016, at the Horticulture Building at Lansdowne, was packed with live performances from groups such as Ottawa Dance Directive.

Open doors for Hospice Care
Lesley Holmes and her late husband, former NHLer Bill Kitchen, built their dream Dow’s Lake home to be an inviting space for friends and family, and to host parties that could help out worthy causes.
Next month, she’ll have as many as 2,000 curious folks stroll through her place as part of Hospice Care Ottawa’s house-tour fundraiser, Homes for the Holidays. And she’s totally cool with it.
“I love opening the doors,” said the Tim Hortons franchisee, while acknowledging she has a beautiful home. “I love having people come in and enjoy it with me.”
She and other supporters of Hospice Care Ottawa gathered Wednesday at the Homes for the Holidays launch event held at the official residence of British High Commissioner Howard Drake and his wife, Gill.
Sharon Lalonde from Coldwell Banker Rhodes & Company is chairing this year’s homes tour, happening November 18 to 20.
