More details

As L’Arche Saint John seeks to grow its inclusive mission in support of adults with intellectual disabilities, we invite you to join us.

This very special evening will feature an opportunity to hear more about the Honourable Graydon Nicholas' contributions and lasting impact.

Graydon is a Wolastoqey Elder, lawyer, and judge from Tobique First Nation, best known as the first Indigenous person in Atlantic Canada to earn a law degree. He became New Brunswick’s first Indigenous provincial court judge in 1991 and later served as its first Indigenous Lieutenant Governor. A lifelong advocate for Indigenous rights and reconciliation, he continues to inspire future leaders.

Our emcee for the evening is Michael Sadavoy. Michael is the Director of Membership and Business Support at the Saint John Region Chamber of Commerce. With decades of experience in media, sales, marketing, and broadcast communications, he brings a strong focus on connection, community, and strategic partnership to all that he does.

Well-known local artist Lana Langille will be creating a live painting during the evening to be put up for auction at the gala dinner.

A silent auction will be featured.

An annual gala event in support of L’Arche Saint John, Building Community attracts a sold-out audience of 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 evening.
