Because every child deserves a guiding light. You are invited to help light the way.
Join us for the Annual Merrymount Gala on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at Bellamere Winery & Event Centre.
Presented by Rembrandt Homes, this special evening brings our community together in support of Merrymount’s Child Mental Wellness Program. Guests will enjoy hors d’oeuvres, a delicious dinner, wine to complement their meal, a silent auction, entertainment and more, all inspired by our theme, Light the Way.
For children and families navigating difficult moments, the right support can make all the difference. Through our Child Mental Wellness Program, Merrymount provides 24/7 care designed to strengthen children’s emotional, social and mental well-being through a trauma-informed, child-centred and strength-based approach.
We are deeply grateful for the support of our Annual Gala and for the community that continues to make this important work possible.
THE MERRYMOUNT ANNUAL GALA IS IN SUPPORT OF OUR CHILD MENTAL WELLNESS PROGRAM.
Each year, Merrymount Family Support and Crisis Centre serves more than 8,000 children and 2,500 families through programs designed to strengthen the well-being of children and families across our community.
Skyscrapers, part of our 24/7 Child Mental Wellness Program, offers 18 beds for children ages 4–12 who are facing or at risk of mental wellness challenges. Children receive a safe, supportive place to stay while building skills, strengthening resilience and receiving care tailored to their individual needs.
Keeping this vital program available 24/7 requires significant community support. The Annual Merrymount Gala is an important part of that effort, with every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured and donation made helping ensure children and families can access care when they need it.
Light the Way reflects the difference one source of support can make during an uncertain or difficult time. A light can offer reassurance, illuminate what comes next and remind a child and family that they do not have to navigate the path ahead alone.
Together, we can light the way toward stronger children, stronger families and stronger communities.
