At My Best

One unforgettable night. One important cause. More One unforgettable night. One important cause. More than $700,000 raised to support education and community-led initiatives in Haiti. ❤️🇭🇹🙏

Last night, we marked the 18th annual @ArtistsForPeace Gala at the @windsorarms—the place where the #APJ story began. Returning 18 years later, surrounded by a community that continues to believe in our work, was incredibly meaningful.

We honoured three remarkable women who use their voices and platforms to create change: Andrea Martin with the Global Artists for Peace and Justice Award, @EmilyHampshire with the Canadian Artists for Peace and Justice Changemaker Award and @JannArden with the Artists for Peace and Justice Impact Award. Their talent, compassion and commitment to giving back so beautifully reflect the spirit of APJ. 🖤

A heartfelt thank you to my fellow board members @strombo and @kardinalo for hosting the evening—and for their continued commitment to APJ—and to @katherinealexanderdaniels for her extraordinary support over the years. Alongside moving performances by @PaulBeaubrun and @olreid, they made an already powerful evening unforgettable.

The evening was a reminder of what can happen when a community comes together around a shared purpose.

For children in Haiti today, education is more than a pathway to opportunity—it is a lifeline. It provides safety, stability and hope amid unimaginable violence.

Since APJ began, we have raised more than $37 million and supported over 32,000 students. I’m incredibly proud and also deeply aware of how much work still remains.

I’m grateful to everyone who joined us, gave generously and continues to stand behind this mission. Together, we are creating a ripple effect far greater than any one of us could create alone. ✨

Thank you to @AirCanada, @2FifteenLiving by @DBSDevelopments, @audicanada, @TheForestHillGroup, @deandavidson and @WindsorArms for supporting this important work—and to @ProjectPawsdogrescue, whose adoptable puppies brought a little extra love to our red carpet while shining a light on animals in need. 🐾❤️🇭🇹🙏

What a night celebrating Hollywood North! ✨🎬 Toro What a night celebrating Hollywood North! ✨🎬

Toronto has more than earned that name. In its record year, film, television and digital productions brought $2.6 billion in direct production spending to the city, a reflection of the extraordinary talent, crews, studios and creativity that make Toronto one of North America’s leading production centres.

It was so great to see so many familiar faces come together to celebrate the incredible talent, creativity and storytelling that continue to shape Canada’s film and television industry.

Thank you to @torontolife and @hellocanadamag for partnering with @nkpr.inc to bring it all together!

There is truly nothing like Toronto during TIFF, and nights like this are exactly why it’s one of my favourite times of the year. 🖤
