Social Scene: Teddy Bear Affair, DXI, Between the Pages, City MOGULS, War Child and more

It's been a busy few weeks on the party circuit! Canadian wordsmiths were toasted at two storied affairs - the Giller Prize's roving Between the Pages event, featuring shortlisted authors like Sheila Heti and Patrick deWitt, and the Writers' Trust Gala, which raised funds with help from the likes of Margaret Atwood and John Irving. Meanwhile, <em>Dragon's Den</em> star Michele Romanow strutted her stuff on the catwalk at the City MOGULS fundraiser fashion show at Steam Whistle Brewing, while the Design Exchange's annual Intersection fete looked Foreword as they honoured OVO co-founder Oliver El-Khatib by dancing the night away. Chantal Kreviazuk and Sarah Harmer took the stage at War Child's annual What If...? gala, which put women front and centre, and guests like Brian Gluckstein donned their finest to raise funds for the Children's Aid Foundation at the glitzy Teddy Bear Affair. <strong>Click through to see all the best party photos...</strong>
