First Edition: a resounding success for the Pointe-à-Callière Foundation!

Under honorary co-chairs Christiane Germain, Co-President of Germain Hotels, and Yves Lalumière, President and CEO of Tourisme Montréal, this first edition of the MTL Ball was a true success!

The event raised $425,000, with the money going directly towards supporting the Museum’s development and growth, allowing it to build relationships with the Montréal community.

Over 500 guests from Montreal's business and cultural communities were welcomed to the magnificent setting of the Espace Paddock in Parc Jean-Drapeau. The theme of this first edition was the history of Montreal fashion. An exclusive fashion show tracing the evolution of Montreal fashion from 1950 to the present day was presented during the evening.

For over thirty years, Pointe-à-Callière has been bearing witness to Montréal’s evolution. Today, it is our turn to show the Museum our gratitude through our support for this very first edition of the MTL Ball, happening in October 2023. The event is in keeping with the activities the Museum has developed since the beginning: it will be creative, unique, and part of Montréal’s urban fabric, while showcasing the city’s diversity and beauty. It will be a real pleasure to contribute to the success of the first MTL Ball and to thereby support Pointe-à-Callière, Montréal’s archaeology and history complex. It’s a date!
