Waypoint’s annual An Evening to Shine the Light event features Canadian Singer-Songwriter Peter Katz
Waypoint’s highly anticipated An Evening to Shine the Light signature fundraising event returns on Friday, November 21, 2025, at the Midland Cultural Centre, featuring the soul-stirring music and storytelling of JUNO-nominated Canadian singer-songwriter Peter Katz.
Presented by TD Bank, the evening promises an unforgettable fusion of music, meaning, and giving back. Guests will enjoy inspiring stories, a gourmet dining experience by Feast Catering & Events, a lively silent auction, and a powerful live performance — all in support of advancing critical mental health and addictions research and care.
Renowned for his emotionally powerful performances and captivating stage presence, Peter Katz connects deeply with audiences through songs that explore vulnerability, resilience, and the human spirit. He has performed across North America and brings a message of hope and connection through both music and storytelling.
Last year alone, Waypoint supported more than 12,600 people through over 70,000 visits, both virtually and in person. Waypoint is a vital lifeline for individuals and families navigating complex mental health and addiction challenges. From youth in crisis to older adults experiencing dementia, Waypoint offers compassionate, expert care—supported by cutting-edge research that’s changing lives today and shaping a better tomorrow. An Evening to Shine the Light is more than a night out — it’s a chance to stand together as a community and invest in a future where mental health and addictions are treated with the care, dignity, and innovation they deserve.
