Well known local artist, Lana Langille, will be creating a live painting during the evening to be put up for auction at the end of the night.
In 2022, our evening of Building Community attracted more than 400 people from the business, government and non-profit communities in the region and across New Brunswick. We hope you’ll join us for another spectacular event!
