125th Anniversary Gala – A Taste of Roncy!

---

What’s “A Taste of Roncy?”

Fern parent, and executive Chef, Mark Wilson (read about him below), will lead us on a fabulous culinary tour of our neighbourhood, serving a seven-course meal with ingredients sourced from local businesses, paired with delicious wines and spirits.

The event will be held in our newly renovated gymnasium which will be transformed into an old-school dining room. Fancy dress, not quite black-tie.

What’s Our Goal?

To celebrate Fern’s 125th Anniversary, and to raise funds for our Playground Revitalization while showcasing world-class products from our neighbourhood vendors, highlighting naturally-raised and ethically sourced meats and seafood, grains, vegetables, and fine-food ingredients.

The menu features exotic flavours from around the globe and across the neighbourhood to create seven uniquely prepared courses, each paired with selected wines and spirits to excite the palate and create an outstanding food experience.

Seating is Limited — Only 100 Tickets Available!
