This year, at the fourth annual Dr. Peter Aids Foundation Life Commitment Dinner hosted by Lorne and Melita Segal at their Southlands home, well-heeled guests enjoyed a royal repast compliments of Carey Melnichuk’s Secret Location. Gala-goers mingled atop a transparent floor—just one of the many stunning decorative elements by brand.LIVE that aided in converting the Segals’ indoor pool area into a party palace. Chaired by event founder John Evans and Saeedeh Salem, partygoers toasted to the memory of Dr. Peter Jepson-Young as upwards of $250,000 was generously donated. All funds raised will benefit the Dr. Peter Centre, British Columbia’s only HIV/AIDS Day Health Program and 24-hour nursing care residence.
