Experience the magic of Christmas and all things Canadian: Northern Lights & Ocean Nights.

For over 30 years, the Foundation’s annual gala has been Halifax’s unofficial kick-off to the holiday season.

In 2025, we are excited to welcome you to the RBC Holiday Black Tie Gala, an elevated evening celebrating all things Canadian: “Northern Lights & Ocean Nights.” From merry mingling, festive photo booths and fine dining to exciting raffles, live auctions and late-night dancing, there’s no better way to usher in the spirit of the season.

With the continued support of Nova Scotia’s business and philanthropic communities, our Holiday Black Tie Gala raises vital funds to support organizations & programming in communities across the province, making a difference to the many Nova Scotians living with mental illness or addiction.
