It seems like everyone’s marking a special milestone this year including St. Mary’s Ball, which recently marked its 80th with a swanky fab soiree at Windsor Station presented under the distinguished co-presidency of foundation board member Geoff Molson, owner, president/CEO of Le Club de hockey Canadien, the Bell Centre and Evenko, (attending with lovely wife Kate ) and brother Andrew Molson, chairman RES PUBLICA (with elegant wife Helen Antoniou ). For your pleasure, the DIARY exclusive. Photography KAREL CHLADEK
