Like the artists “formerly known as” like Puff Daddy and our beloved Prince who passed way too soon, the Ste-Justine Ball, formerly known to its countless devotees until this year–its 15th–as the Mount Royal Ball benefitting the CHU Ste-Justine Foundation, delivered the goods in 2016. Key highlights included a super elite VVVIP cocktail in the Windsor Ballrooms’ famed Peacock Alley; an OTT reception for 350; and hard-to-resist get-wiggly tunes all night long by by DJs RR Kelley and A1. Kudos to the millennial dream team – aka the Young Leaders Circle – who, with the support of presenting sponsor BLOOMBERG and other major partners including the National Bank, Intact Insurance and Lexus, hosted one of the hottest tickets of the season, netting over $210,000 for the benefit of the children.
