Dinner: 7pm to 9pm

A silent auction for beautiful pieces of native art will take place throughout the evening.


Please join Sagesse Productions for a dinner and dance fundraising event for their feature documentary “Voices of the People”. This Valentine's Day give your heart something powerful…. Hope.


“Voices of the People” will expose the tragic poverty our first people live with, conditions our government have allowed to exist for far too long. Set on the Attawapiskat First Nation community, this documentary follows this Native reservation, its current third world conditions, and the heroes of the community fighting to create awareness and change.


Being such a young country drives us, as a people, to define ourselves; as a culture of compassion, a culture of promise, and a culture of equality. And yet, many of our First Nations people live in third world conditions of poverty and hopelessness. This documentary will give that fact a face.



It is time for hope, it is time to build, it is time to care for all of the people of Canada.


Tickets are $125 per person, available at http://voicesofthepeople.eventsbot.com/
Donations also accepted for the documentary and the donations drive for the reserve.
