True North Gala brings 1920s fashion to the 21st century

The True North Society held its annual gala at Legacy Farm on Saturday.

The event brought together business owners and organizations to discuss the importance of combating domestic violence while dressed in outfits based on the Roaring 20s.

Highlights from the gala included a gourmet dinner, live entertainment, an interactive display, and the opportunity to engage with domestic violence survivors.

There was also a silent auction, featuring products such as flannel blankets, artisan soaps, and a bottle of Glenmorangie scotch.

The event also saw the society asking for funding from the 2024 Field Law Community Program for a new building. Blueprints and concept images of the proposed building were available for attendees to look at.

True North provides many services in Strathmore, including a 24/7 crisis support line, an emergency shelter, counseling, and community education programs.

The society is operated by a team of over 30 people who collaborate across several programs and departments.
