KAWARTHA LAKES-Are you looking for a way to celebrate being Canadian?
BGC Kawarthas is inviting residents to come together to celebrate Canada with some of the biggest local names in music.
In the midst of international tension, Canadians across the country are taking action to buy and support Canadian products and to protect what makes us unique. For many, Canadian culture is one of the things that sets us apart – our songs and stories express what’s distinct about living in this country.
Tapping into a love for Canada, BGC Kawarthas is hosting a concert at the end of May to celebrate our distinctive culture, compassion and perseverance, with a line-up of all-star Canadian musicians. It will be called O Canada.
“We’re excited to do something different – it just seems like the right time to celebrate some of the greatest Canadian hits of all time, and to host some of the artists who have connections to the Kawartha Lakes,” says Amy Terrill, Executive Director. “A sell out show will allow us to support the music programs at BGC Kawarthas which help children and youth build confidence and skills, and access all the proven benefits of music.”
The lineup includes: The Strumbellas, Tyler Kyte and Nick Rose (members of Dwayne Gretzky), Russell deCarle of Prairie Oyster, Meliissa Payne, Cassie Noble, and a few BGC youth performers, with more to be announced. The concert’s host is Erica Ehm, former Much Music VJ.
It will take place Sunday, May 25th @ 7 p.m., at Flato Academy Theatre. Proceeds from the concert will go towards BGC Kawarthas music programs, which offer children and youth various opportunities to learn instruments, sing, compose and record songs, and more. Tickets are now available at Flato Academy Theatre.
