It\u2019s time to dust off your fascinators as Newmarket\u2019s Inn from the Cold hosts its third annual High Tea to support programs to end local homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a stint at the Aurora Armoury, Inn from the Cold\u2019s High Tea, which supports its \u201call inn!\u201d capital campaign, will return Sunday, November 3 in a new location \u2013 this time at Newmarket\u2019s Old Town Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring tasty treats from A Million Mouthfuls Catering, the event is a fun event for the whole family \u2013 for a cause that benefits Newmarket, Aurora and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tea, which will run from 1 \u2013 3 p.m., with tickets set at $100 per person, will feature traditional high tea fare with all proceeds benefiting the $2.5 million campaign, raising funds for a new 16,000 square foot housing centre featuring a three-and-a-half-fold increase in transitional housing units in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past two years, the tea was very well received and people seemed to really enjoy it,\u201d says Inn from the Cold Executive Director Ann Watson. \u201cThere were multi-generations of families there; we had people with their daughters, with their granddaughters, and it was a really nice [day] allowing people to contribute to this project while enjoying a nice event.\u201d
Watson says they\u2019re just about to put shovels in the ground on the new build, potentially as soon as December, with completion expected in the \u201cearly fall\u201d of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe never really thought we would be doing a third tea, but our time has stretched as has the budget,\u201d says Watson, noting the project is about eight months behind original projections. \u201cIt\u2019s important to reach out to Aurora because we do serve people from Aurora, many of our volunteers are from Aurora, we have staff from Aurora. While we\u2019re located in Newmarket, we\u2019re not exclusively Newmarket, and it\u2019s important to remind Aurora they don\u2019t have anything there [for transitional housing].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
