Kudos to @womenshabitat for celebrating the power,

Kudos to @womenshabitat for celebrating the power, resilience and leadership of women who are making a real difference in our community.

This past International Women’s Day, Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke hosted a meaningful breakfast to recognize women whose work uplifts, protects and empowers others. Their impact is a powerful reminder that supporting women and families experiencing violence is not just important...it’s essential.

We were proud to see our CEO, Christy Dagonas‑Markoulis, among the women honoured for her leadership and commitment to community, service and creating opportunities for others.

The event also included a men's leadership panel on - Strategies for Accountability and Prevention - highlighting the importance of male allies in ending violence against women by taking accountability in the workplace and in their own communities.

Thank you to all of the incredible women recognized and to the team at Women’s Habitat of Etobicoke who continue to do such vital work; leading with compassion and courage.

For our Vendor Highlight Series, today we want to extend our appreciation to @kenzerama_productions for their continued partnership across our Open House and events throughout all of our venues.

As highlighted, KENZERAMA brings a cinematic lens to every celebration, but what truly sets them apart is the experience they create while doing it. From first interaction to final delivery, their professionalism, calm presence and attention to detail consistently exceed expectations.

Time and again, our guests share how impressed they are, not only with the final films, but with how comfortable and supported they felt throughout the process. That level of trust, artistry and seamless execution is exactly what elevates an event from memorable to unforgettable.

For today's Vendor Highlight Series, today we want to extend a sincere thank you to @loveforeverstudio for stepping in to support our Open House and for their professionalism in a moment that truly mattered.

When circumstances shifted unexpectedly, their team answered the call without hesitation; driving almost two hours in a snow storm, while arriving ready, focused and committed to capturing the day with the same care and artistry they bring to every event. Their ability to adapt seamlessly and deliver beautiful, meaningful imagery under pressure is a true testament to the level of professionalism they uphold.

It’s partners like Love Forever Studio who remind us that exceptional events are built not only on talent, but on reliability, dedication, flexibility and heart.

PALAIS ROYALE'S OPEN HOUSE IS NOW 12PM - 3PM! 🥂🌹💍

Over the many of years of creating wedding magic - we've learned to weather every storm as the show must go on!

And, we couldn’t be more excited to host you tomorrow. Our top priority is always our guest safety. We’ve been actively monitoring the weather networks and based on the current forecast there will be light accumulation during this new timeframe allowing for a safer commute to and from our venue.

We also wanted to remind you that Palais Royale has a private parking lot for our guests on Lake Shore Blvd W. directly in front of the venue, with street lights for safe pedestrian crossing. Our dedicated snow-clearing team will be active throughout the event, providing continuous clearing and salting to ensure safe access to the parking lot and venue.
