The Maple Leaf Ball began 61 years ago with Singapore’s 60 Canadians in attendance - including 12 members of the Royal Air Force and 3 from the Army. It was celebrated July 1st, 1950 at the Blue Room of the Capitol Restaurant and like any Canadian celebration - it was likely a party to remember!
The 2nd and 3rd dinner and dances were held at the Chicken Inn, Seaview Hotel, followed by the Elizabethan Grill of the Raffles Hotel in 1953 and 6 decades later, the Canadian Association of Singapore is proud to host the 61st Annual Ball at the Fairmont Singapore on April 17, 2010.
Your attendance is mandatory as we continue to contribute to our long and vibrant history in Singapore and the hard working Ball Committee, chaired by Franca Ciambella look forward to welcoming you - save us a dance!

If you have ever dreamed of walking down a red carpet in your most glamorous attire, to the flash of photographers’ bulbs, with all eyes fixed on you, then the 61st annual Maple Leaf Ball is a mustattend event! This year’s theme is “Walk the Red Carpet” and attendees are encouraged to be as creative as they would like as they imitate theirfavourite movie star, director, theme song, singer or musician.
The event will be held at the newly refurbished Ballroom at the Fairmont hotel on Saturday,17 April at 7pm. Attendees will be met by paparazzi as they enter and walk the red carpet, flanked by Genie statues resembling Royal Canadian MountedPolice. Tables will not be numbered but identified by the name of a famous Canadian celebrity-so don’tbe surprised to find you’re sitting at theDonald Sutherland or the Pamela Anderson table.
Dinner will be a five course Canadian themed feast,including macadamia crusted Arctic cod and Alberta braised beef, all paired with sophisticated wines to go with each course.
The night includes a lucky draw and silent auction. All profits will go to the Singapore Cancer Society, who will also be issuing tax deduction receipts for the charitable portion of the ticket. There will be free-flow beer and wine throughout the night, and live music and a DJ will keep attendees dancing until the wee hours of the morning.
So don’t delay and risk missing out on a night toremember, buy your tickets today!
