April 1st marked the 10th Anniversary of the Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon Division, Diamond Ball. The ballrooms at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver were magically transformed as the event whisked you away to celebrate "Midnight at the Oasis". Auction items, belly dancers, live entertainment and more helped raise close to a million dollars for this very worthwhile cause. The guest list included many influencial North Shore residents. See who you know.
