ARIDO EOC Gatsby Holiday Gala and Silent Auction

Gatsby Gala

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the ARIDO EOC Gatsby Holiday Gala! We want to thank our 2023 Sponsors, Algonquin College BID student volunteers, auction prize donors, as well as our ARIDO EOC subcommittee members. The night was filled with great food and drinks as well as amazing live entertainment by the Jayla Kirkey Musician Quartet and an entertaining live auctioneer from Raising the Bid.

We had our most successful auction which raised $20,000 for the ALS Society of Canada in support of Randy Watt, a well-known individual in our industry. Thank you all for coming!

Happy Holidays and enjoy!

Justine Baltessen, Chapter President, ARIDO EOC

ARIDO’s Eastern Ontario Chapter at Capital Pride!

On August 27th, 2023 the ARIDO-EOC participated in Ottawa’s Capital Pride Parade for the first time. It was a beautiful day filled with joy, laughter, fun, and entertainment from our own local drag queen! EOC Past-President Jeremy Cheff, ARIDO was sashaying and looking incredible in drag!

As ARIDO pushes for equity, diversity, and inclusion, this is sure to be the first of many times we participate and it’s bound to get bigger and better in the coming years.

Keep an eye out next summer for the invitation to participate!
