2025 Business Sponsors

Thank you to our generous sponsors for this year’s Walk for the Centre

Our Event Sponsor

Flora Hall Brewing

Flora Hall Brewing is a neighborhood gathering place created to welcome and delight our customers with delicious beer, food and attentive service. Flora Hall founder Dave’s vision was formed by a lifetime of travel, other ventures and time spent observing great community gathering spaces. 

Located at 37 Flora Street, Flora Hall opened in 2017 after repurposing a beautiful heritage building in Centretown. The unique award-winning beers are crafted with love by founding Brewer, Rod Hughes, who helped make the place truly distinct from day one. Flora is a proud supporter and sponsor of many important community causes.  

Our Walkathon Chair Elizabeth Kent was expressing gratitude for the $5,000 grant from Dave Longbottom at Flora Hall. Dave replied: “Well you just keep on doing what you do and we will keep giving the money! That is what we do!”   Thank you, Dave, for your outstanding support for the Food Centre!  More information is available at www.florahallbrewing.ca.
