When it comes to the social scene, Montrealers are resilient. Wicked weather? Whatever. Labyrinth of construction? NP! Which brings us to the 2018 Renaissance-themed St. Mary’s Ball benefiting The St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation at Windsor Station. Despite drizzly temps and not so a-maze-ing roadwork, hundreds braved their way through a specially erected walkway into champagne cocktails for a mesmeric night still generating buzz days later. The icing on the dazzle? $1,100,825 raised towards the building of a modernized home for palliative and cancer care patients. Bravo! Photography VINCENZO D’ALTO
