All-Star Celebrity Line-up Attended Unmasked

October 14^th After-Party Event Featured Live Performances by Divine Brown and Chantal Kreviazuk and a Celebrity DJ set by Kardinal Offishall

Divine Brown, Chantal Kreviazuk and Kardinal Offishall joined emcee George Stroumboulopoulus to compile an all-star celebrity line-up for the Unmasked fundraiser, held in support of CAMH.

The event featured onstage performances by JUNO Award winners Chantal Kreviazuk and Divine Brown as well as an action packed dj set by 2009 JUNO Award winner for Single of the Year, Kardinal Offishall. The party was held at MARO nightclub, 135 Liberty Street, on Oct. 14.

“This was a great opportunity for the community to come out and, not only see some of Canada’s best performers, but to show their support for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health,” said Ana Lopes, Chair of Queen Street Unmasked and Vice Chair, CAMH Foundation Board of Directors.

This year, Unmasked raised nearly $600,000 for CAMH and attracted hundreds of people including celebrity guests Michael Holmes, Kenny and Spenny, cast from Degrassi, and many more. 

Proceeds from Unmasked support CAMH's redevelopment project and work to eradicate the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction. The redevelopment will see the transformation of the antiquated Queen Street West psychiatric institution into an inviting, contemporary urban village.
