When Community Shines: Over $162K Raised for Local Healthcare at Lumière
November 3, 2025
More than a hotel, Brookstreet is a place where people gather to celebrate, connect, and give back — and our annual Lumière Gala is a shining reflection of that.
On September 4, 2025, over 500 guests joined us for a sold-out evening that brought the romance of Paris to Kanata North. From a glowing Eiffel Tower to whimsical umbrellas drifting overhead, our spaces were transformed into the City of Lights. But beyond the décor, the true highlight was the generosity that raised an incredible $162,280 in support of the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation and its top priorities for patient care.
The evening opened with a warm welcome from Terry Matthews, the founder and owner of Brookstreet, who shared his gratitude for those championing local healthcare. Guests then enjoyed French-inspired cuisine, live music by Rebecca Noelle, exciting raffles and auctions, and a dazzling fireworks finale that lit up the Kanata sky.
Since Lumière began, together we have proudly contributed more than $1.5 million to local charities — a testament to the lasting impact that happens when community comes together. We are deeply grateful to our presenting sponsor, RBC Royal Bank and to every partner, volunteer, and guest whose support made Lumière 2025 unforgettable.
At Brookstreet, we are proud to provide a stage for moments that bring people together. Lumière is proof of the incredible things our community can achieve when we gather in the spirit of giving — and we are honoured to be part of it.
