An evening of masked dinner and dancing is planned for the second annual Firefighter’s Ball, Nov. 8 at 6 p.m. at the West Coast Railway Heritage Park’s CN Roundhouse.
“For this second year of the Firefighter’s Ball we wanted to make it bigger and better,” said Estelle Taylor, coordinator and fundraising manager for Sea to Sky Community Services (SSCS). “So, we decided that this year it would be a masquerade ball… not a costume party, which is completely different.”
The annual event is organized by the Squamish FIrefighter’s Association, with some of the proceeds going to SSCS and the new Centrepoint building, an $8 million downtown community services hub.
“You can bring your own mask, or there will be masks for you to buy at the event,” said Taylor. “The Roundhouse will be beautifully decorated, there will be great food, great music and lots of fun for a good cause.”
The evening’s entertainment comes courtesy of Vancouver dance band, Faith and Desire.
“They’re a cover band with a huge song list,” said Taylor. “They are a really great band and will keep people on the dance floor.”
Tickets for the event run $100 per person, and are available online at sscs.ca, at the SSCS offices or through any local firefighter.
“It should be a great time,” said Taylor.
