The Cranbrook Stay At Home Gala on Saturday, May 2 has an amazing line-up of speakers and entertainers, coming together to support local non-profits on the frontlines of COVID-19.

From 6-7 p.m., the virtual gala will move into the national program, including hockey-great Hayley Wickenheiser, Lane Merrifield from the Dragon’s Den, and André Picard from The Globe and Mail. Musical entertainment includes the Hunter Brothers, Tanika Charles, and Once A Tree.
