The Marianopolis community shone the spotlight on the College's brilliant legacy of education November 5. The LuminoCity gala brought together over 400 guests, including alumni, faculty and staff, parents, students, volunteers, business partners, distinguished guests of honour and community leaders. The glittering celebration began with a VIP reception and cocktails, followed by a six-course gourmet dinner, raffle prizes, live entertainment and dancing. $127,000 in proceeds was raised to benefit The Marianopolis Millennium Foundation in support of the College and its students. Many thanks to all the evening's participants and to our generous sponsors! For more photos, please view the photo gallery.
