On the evening of November 17, Toronto Life hosted its annual celebration of the city’s most influential people at Harry Rosen in Yorkville. Superstar chef Matty Matheson, Jeopardy! star Mattea Roach, publishing powerhouse Kristin Cochrane and other city-shaping personalities turned out to toast a year’s worth of accomplishments.
Brampton’s Haviah and Omega Mighty performed while guests danced and enjoyed Louis Roederer champagne, Tanqueray No. 10 gin, cocktails from World Class Canada and wine by J. Lebegue. Non-alcoholic drinks were provided by Seedlip. Karine Joncas and Basic Maintenance provided gifting.
