Representatives of Family Services of the North Shore hosted the 2012 edition of their Winter Family Ball Dec. 2 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Guests enjoyed a reception, children's activities, a silent auction, dancing, and live entertainment, including a special performance by the Sarah McLachlan School of Music.

Funds raised support the North Shore not-for-profit community-based agency that offers education, support and counselling services in addition to leading the provincial work in eating disorders prevention.
