MTL Ball: A resounding success for our 4th edition!

The 4th edition of the MTL Ball, presided over by honorary co-chairs Yves Beauchamp, President and CEO of ADM Aéroports de Montréal, Mélanie Lussier, President and CEO of Aéro Montréal, and Alain Primeau, President of UAP, was an incredible success! Held Friday, October 23 at the Grand Quay in the Port of Montréal, this charity event was attended by over 500 people and raised $660,978 to directly support the Museum’s development.

With the theme of Montréal en mouvement, this fourth iteration of the ball took guests on a round trip through history to see how transportation has changed and shaped the city. An evening filled with entertaining discoveries highlighted an important aspect of Montréal’s past.

The festivities continued at the MTL After! Ball, where about one hundred people continued to enjoy their immersive experience of the Museum’s history. After touring the remains at Pointe-à-Callière and enjoying a cocktail reception in the archaeological crypt, the ball-goers boarded a 1973-era bus to continue their historical journey.

The Pointe-à-Callière Foundation sincerely thanks its presenting partner UAP as well as its major collaborators: YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport, Canada Steamship Lines, Pratt & Whitney Canada, and Sun Life. The Foundation would also like to acknowledge the contribution of its partners: Magnus Poirier, WSP, Air Canada, CPKC, SAQ, Karine Joncas, MAC Cosmetics, and feu&co.

The Foundation is deeply grateful to all event partners and guests, whose generosity and commitment have directly contributed to the success of this event and to Pointe-à-Callière’s future development.
