The annual Ottawa Hospital Gala, presented by Nordion, is one of the year’s must-attend events on the Ottawa social scene. More than 500 of Ottawa’s elite saluted the groundbreaking work being performed at the world-class Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI) at this black-tie affair.

At the 2011 gala, guests celebrated the $6.5 million raised this year alone by the community in support of research at OHRI.

The event was a night of glamour, celebration and philanthropy.
