Outdoor movie fundraiser

Movie Night Under the Stars

A chance to watch a movie under the stars is also an opportunity to support the work of Community Living North Halton (CLNH).

Country Heritage Park provides lots of room to spread out and enjoy a movie outdoors on Friday, May 27 at 9 p.m. The first annual “Movie Night Under the Stars” fundraiser will feature a fun, family-friendly movie, concession stand, 50/50 draw and a Terra Cotta Cookie at the end of the night. Admission is $15 for adults and $5 per child with 1000 tickets available online.

Community Living North Halton provides programs and services for more than 630 people with developmental disabilities in north Halton. Funds raised during this event will go toward improving and enhancing accessibility needs for the people with developmental disabilities that the organization serves.

Community Living North Halton aims to create “a community where everyone belongs and is valued”.

COVID-19 significantly impacted the way Community Living North Halton operated from a programming and fundraising perspective. The pandemic prompted the organization to pivot from in-person events to virtual events in some cases.

“Overall, our staff and clients have remained resilient through all of the changes required by the state of affairs and we have been able to continue to operate and serve our community. As restrictions ease, we are excited to get back into the swing of in-person events like Movie Night Under the Stars. We look forward to seeing our community, family and friends in a safe environment,” says Sheldon Samlall of CLNH.

“We appreciate Country Heritage Park for their kind sponsorship of space and outdoor movie equipment,’’ adds Samlall.

Admission tickets and 50/50 draw tickets can be purchased on-line at app.kambeo.io/event/movienight. The movie title is also revealed there.
