Who We Are Now

Celebrating 20 years of Canada’s conversation and countless more to go

For two decades, Canadians have relied on our thought-provoking journalism to amplify Canadian voices and elicit new thinking. Your support has enabled us to stay on the pulse—always moving, always growing.

One of the most anticipated events on the social calendar, The Walrus Gala is an exhilarating annual fundraiser in which industry leaders and the intellectually curious gather in support of critical conversations and fact-based journalism in Canada.

Join us at The Walrus Gala 2023 as we celebrate who we are now. Taking place within the stunning atrium of Ricarda’s 134 Peter Street, which merges historical and contemporary features, this year’s gala will be inspired by twenty years of cover art at The Walrus created by some of the finest artists in the country. The evening includes a cocktail reception, live performances, a sumptuous three-course meal prepared by executive chef Julien Laffargue, a silent auction with one-of-a-kind experiences exclusive to The Walrus, an after party, and more.
