2025 The Art of Becoming Gala


The 2025 Art of Becoming gala honours Cynthia Janisse and raises funds for a fire suppression system. This event supports Back On Track Recovery Society’s mission by ensuring a safer environment for residents undergoing addiction treatment and safe housing programs.

Cynthia Janisse

2025 Art of Becoming Fundraising Gala

Our goal is twofold. First, to honour Cynthia Janisse, our friend who tragically passed away last year, and second, to raise funds for a fire suppression system at the Northstar Castle so that we can support 20 clients rather than just the 10 we are allowed there now

There are women on the streets calling us every day and we cannot accommodate them unless we have this fire suppression system installed for $50,000
