You may want to bring a light sweater or shawl to stay warm. Jeans, shorts, athletic wear, and tank tops are NOT permitted. Men should dress business casual—a collared shirt with a sweater or blazer is great.

For our Awards Gala:

DRESS TO IMPRESS! Attending the Awards Gala is like having a celebratory event with your best girlfriends, so be sure to look stylish. BRIGHT COLOURS look best on camera; avoid busy patterns. Men should DRESS TO IMPRESS! Blazer and tie, a suit or even a tuxedo. 

For the Wine & Dine event:

Please wear your little black dress or favorite cocktail dress. This event will be hosted at the very trendy Les 400 Coups restaurant.
