50th Anniversary Celebration

The James Bay Community Project invites you to a very special celebration for our 50th Anniversary!

Join us for an intimate evening featuring a community fashion show inspired by modern trends in streetwear, workwear and evening elegance — all curated from our beloved social enterprise, the Community Closet Thrift Store.

Enjoy light refreshments including local sips, hors d’oeuvres prepared and served by our Youth Food Skills Program, as well as delicacies by our gold level sponsor, Finest At Sea.

This event also marks the kickoff to our Fall Fundraising Campaign and the launch of our online silent auction. Guests will get an advance sneak peek at the prizes available!

We’d love to have you there as we begin this next chapter. Help us celebrate this milestone as we have a joyful look back – and ahead – at the work we’ve done together.
