THROWBACK: A Night to Remember with Margaret Atwood
Some events stay with you long after the last guest has left and our evening with the incomparable Margaret Atwood was certainly one of them.
From the moment the doors opened to the final words from the icon herself, it was a night filled with conversation, inspiration, laughter and a true sense of community.
And while having Margaret Atwood in the room was extraordinary, what made the evening truly special was the incredible group of people who came together behind the scenes and in the room to make it happen.
We are so grateful to our community partners, sponsors, collaborators, volunteers and friends who helped bring this unforgettable evening to life:

And, of course, a very special thank you to Ralph Benmergui, whose warmth, wit and incredible ability to bring people together made the conversation with Margaret Atwood one we won’t soon forget.
And then there was the woman herself -Margaret Atwood.
An icon. A storyteller. A changemaker. And an incredible voice for women, equality and social change.
Most importantly, we are grateful to everyone who attended. Your presence, your generosity and your belief in the work of Interval House of Hamilton are what make evenings like this possible.
Looking back, we’re reminded of something we know every day at Interval House:
When a community comes together, extraordinary things happen.
Thank you for being part of the story.
