“Women from across the city came together for an amazing night at Airship37 event space Toronto. From hair and makeup stylists to a hilarious comedian and exciting silent auction, everyone had a great night out, and the event raised over $18,000 for the beloved  MumNet.” http://www.mumnet.ca/mumnets-25th-anniversary-gala/

Through two types of groups – MumNet, for mothers with small children, and MumVet, for mothers with older children – the Metro Mothers Network continues to reach out and support Toronto mums.” http://www.mumnet.ca/about-us/our-history/
