Annual Events

The Board of Governors of the Canadian Heritage Arts Society is seeking support this spring, and so invite you to join them in supporting our 2026 Gala “Spring Sensation“, offering a donation in support of our work, and/or by bidding in our online silent auction which will be live in April to raise much needed funds. 

Gala tickets include a welcome drink, buffet dinner and live entertainment. A cash bar will also be available. 

All proceeds and donations will go to support the activities of the Canadian Heritage Arts Society (CHAS) and the operation of the Canadian College of Performing Arts (CCPA), together they create live theatre events performed by artists-in-training. 

The gala will be held at the Inn at Laural Point on April 1 2026. For tickets, visit heritagearts.ca!
