The Four Seasons Soirée Returns
Our Four Seasons Soirée, presented by RBC, returns for its second year on Thursday, November 12, 2026 at Ashbury College! Building on the success of last year, this year’s Soirée will once again highlight the power of community investment in supporting meaningful, year round opportunities for children.
Funds raised through the Soirée directly support our STAR City programs, helping provide high-quality experiences that build skills, confidence, and connection for children and youth in Ottawa.
The Four Seasons Soirée invites guests to experience that impact firsthand. Designed as an immersive evening, the event unfolds across four distinct seasonal spaces—each offering its own atmosphere, flavours, and opportunities to connect. Rather than a traditional sit-down gala, the Soirée encourages movement, conversation, and discovery, mirroring the energy of the programs it supports.
Date: Thursday, November 12, 2026
Time: 6:30 – 11:00 PM
Location: Ashbury College, 362 Mariposa Ave.
