We organized an event for the “Legacy of Hope Foundation” which is a national, Indigenous-led, charitable organization that has been working to promote healing and Reconciliation in Canada for more than 19 years. Their goal is to educate and raise awareness about the history and existing intergenerational impacts of the Residential School System (RSS) and subsequent Sixties Scoop (SS) on Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) Survivors, their descendants, and their communities to promote healing and Reconciliation. Our project was a music gala charity event to raise funds for the “Legacy of Hope Foundation” which featured music, a dance floor, karaoke, and a silent auction. We believed, that music gala charity events are a powerful way to bring people together, raise awareness, and generate significant funds for important causes. They are a fun and engaging way to make a difference and support important causes. The event was organized on March 27, 2023 from 7 PM to 10 PM at Amigos Sport Bar at Merivale, Ottawa. During the event, we also tried to raise awareness about the work of the “Legacy of Hope” and the cause it supports. This was helpful for the attendees about the cause and encourage them to get involved in a friendly manner. The event brought the people together for an evening of fun and entertainment, promoting community building and a sense of togetherness. We believe, our project made a difference by supporting important causes and making a positive impact in the community. Moreover, the extent to which the event raised awareness about the cause and the work of the “Legacy of Hope” was also a key factor in determining the success of the project and by monitoring these metrics, we had a clear understanding that the project was successful in achieving its objectives and making a positive impact in the community.

The project was led by the project team, consisting of team members with skills covering different areas of project management, such as procurement, communications, risk management, quality management, and stakeholder management. Each team member had a specific role and accompanying responsibilities, to ensure that the project is delivered within its defined scope, timeline, and budget constraints. This clear division of tasks was really helpful to ensure the smooth and successful execution of the project.

The night before the event, we found out that the venue had no speakers anymore so we had to rent it within a very short period of time. All the proceeds from ticket sales and other activities are going directly to the designated charity. The event was organized as a part of the course work and we learned that we can bring people together for an evening of fun and entertainment while raising awareness and funds for the cause. The project’s ultimate objective is to make a difference and support important causes in a fun and engaging way.
