Steeped in Elegance: A Hospitali-TEA Affair

Peace Arch Hospital Foundation presents Steeped in Elegance — A Hospitali-TEA Affair

Your noble presence is graciously requested on September 10, 2025, at a distinguished ocean-side estate where the esteemed ladies of the White Rock Ton will gather, united in spirit, generosity, and purpose.

Stroll the promenade while taking in the sights, sounds and elegant amusements that await, before taking your place in the Garden of Grace for a luxurious luncheon of refined nourishment. The Queen does so love a spectacle, and this exquisite afternoon for a chosen few will be no exception.

Taking place in the warm afternoon light of harvest season with a mission to restore nourishment and dignity within our hospital, this breathtakingly beautiful gathering is where grace meets impact.

For when women unite in philanthropy, there arises a force both bold and unwavering — steadfast in vision, rich in compassion, and resolute in its aim to uplift, transform, and lead with purpose.

Together, we will not merely support a campaign. We will reimagine the future of care — from the inside out.

The Cause

This is no ordinary gathering of society. It is a summons — a calling of hearts and hands to a truth both vital and profound: that nourishment is not a luxury, but the very cornerstone of healing.

Within the walls of every hospital lies a chamber rarely glimpsed, yet wholly essential — the kitchen. It is here, amidst the quiet hum of preparation, that care begins in earnest. Where dignity is plated alongside sustenance, and hope is stirred with intention.

As part of our commitment to delivering the highest quality of care, we are embarking on a transformative project: the Production Kitchen Renovation. This initiative is designed to modernize our outdated kitchen facilities, elevate food services, and enhance the dining experience for patients, visitors, and staff alike.

Steeped in Elegance beckons you to bring to life this vital, modern space to Peace Arch Hospital — where nourishment is honoured not as an afterthought, but as a sacred tenet of care.

Why a Tea?

Since the first porcelain cup was lifted to the lips of an English duchess, tea has played quiet witness to history. Suffragists gathered over delicate china to imagine a different future for women. Ideas were stirred gently with a spoon — friendships formed, alliances forged, and movements quietly set in motion. The teapot has long been both hearth and megaphone — drawing people together to nourish bodies, lift spirits, and, in their own way, gently reshape the world.

From Japan’s chanoyu to India’s spiced chai, from China’s Gongfu Cha to Britain’s cherished afternoon ritual, nearly every culture has its own way of honouring tea. The flavours may change, the customs may vary — but the message remains the same: you are welcome here — linger, and share.

By gathering around the teacup, we honour these timeless traditions of hospitality while celebrating the beautifully diverse community cared for by Peace Arch Hospital.

It is in this spirit that Steeped in Elegance was born.

“We are embracing a holistic approach — drawing wisdom from the past as we advance toward the future. By uniting best-in-class medical care with the enduring power of nourishing food, dignified care, and heartfelt hospitality, we will honour the full spectrum of healing.”
