MTL BALL: A dazzling second edition with a spotlight on dance

Presided over by honorary co-chairs Rose Marcello, Vice-President, Client Portfolio Manager, iA Global Asset Management, and Michel Leblanc, President and CEO, Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montréal, the second edition of the MTL Ball was a resounding success, raising $445,000! This amount will be used to directly support the Museum’s development.

In an elegant setting, inspired by the gracefulness of nature and movement, the 400 or so guests had an opportunity to enjoy a unique experience, witnessing exceptional dance performances that traced the history of dance in Montreal—a thoroughly captivating show, masterfully orchestrated by choreographers and performers Aroussen Gros Louis, Les Mutins de Longueuil, and Team White and their dance troupe. Fueled by this energy, the evening continued in a festive atmosphere on the dance floor.

The Pointe-à-Callière Foundation would like to thank its principal partner, Sun Life; its two collaborators, Hydro-Québec and Magnus Poirier; and its signature sponsors, Air Canada, SAQ, MAC Cosmetics, and Karine Joncas.

See you on October 24, 2025 for the 3rd edition of the MTL Ball!
