At Georgian, we believe every student deserves the chance to succeed. Yet many face financial barriers that make pursuing their education difficult. That’s why the Flourish Gala presented by belairdirect at Casino Rama Resort is about more than celebration — it’s about raising vital funds that open doors, create opportunities and give students the support they need to flourish in the classroom and beyond. Every dollar raised for awards, scholarships and bursaries empowers future leaders, bridges gaps for students struggling with financial insecurity and offers hope when life throws challenges their way.
You can make a difference by participating in the Flourish Gala 50/50.
Tickets are on sale now for the Flourish 50/50, and the jackpot is climbing! Half goes to you, and half funds awards, scholarships, bursaries and essential services like the Georgian FoodLocker.

The Stand by Canadian Playwright Jennifer Walton presented by Wasaga Community Theatre
2025-11-07 19:30 - 21:30, 2025-11-08 19:30 - 21:30, 2025-11-09 14:00 - 16:00 | Wasaga Beach RecPlex, 1724 Mosley Street, Wasaga Beach,, On, L9Z 1Z1, Canada
Life in a quiet lakeside town is about to get complicated. When plans for a new housing development threaten a cherished patch of local woods, neighbours find themselves on opposite sides of the debate — and long-standing friendships are suddenly tested.
At the centre is Louise Wilson, a birdwatcher who never expected to become an activist, and her best friend Justine, whose developer husband has big plans for the land. Add in a daughter freshly home from university, a son torn between family duty and his own heart, and a community full of opinions, and the stage is set for secrets, surprises, and more than a few laughs.
Witty and warm, The Stand is a Canadian comedy about friendship, family, and the unexpected ways a community comes together when something worth protecting is at stake.

TESLA may have been born in the mid 80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” Their 1989 double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”.
