SARNIA, ON – Lambton County Developmental Services (LCDS) is proud to present its largest and most spirited fundraising event of the year: Fusion – A Discovery of Local Food & Drink, happening November 7 & 8, 2025 at DeGroot’s Nurseries in Sarnia
Fusion is a celebration of local culinary talent, wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Guests will enjoy gourmet samples, handcrafted beverages, and live entertainment, all in support of LCDS’s mission to empower adults with developmental disabilities. This year, LCDS is raising funds for accessibility assets, like ramps, technology, and bathroom assists, to help those we support navigate their lives with greater ease and independence.
“Fusion is more than a tasting event, it’s a powerful expression of what community can achieve when we come together,” says Nick Salaris, Executive Director of LCDS. “Every ticket purchased, every toast raised, helps us build a future where everyone belongs.”
We are honoured to welcome back KEL-GOR as our Title Sponsor for Fusion 2025. Their generous support helps make this event, and its impact, possible.
