Past EPL Galas
Our annual EPL Gala returned in 2019 with An Evening with General Rick Hillier. Thanks to donors, sponsors, auction contributors and guests, we raised a record-breaking amount of over $267,000 to support the revitalization of the Stanley A. Milner Library.
We would like to thank everyone who helped Finish the Fun! and purchased items for our new Milner Library.
