Lifting Spirits with the Arts
By supporting the MACsquerade Black Tie & Versailles, you’re investing in the future of Mississauga’s professional artists — helping them overcome income insecurity and strengthening our vibrant, inclusive arts community.

“I have to say once again that these events mean SO much to our clients. Most of them are in the last months of their lives, and these activities give them something to look forward to and anticipate; a quality, engaging experience that lets them forget their illness/prognosis for a while; and access to culture and the arts that they wouldn’t have otherwise.”
– Nicole Dorey, Social Program Coordinator, Hospice Mississauga
