TIMMINS , ON: When is the last time you attended a musical play in Timmins? On February 27th, the general public is invited to attend a free musical performance by Firebrand Theatre at O’Gorman High School Auditorium at 7:00 pm. The performance is a musical chronicle of the life of an African Canadian who survived the historic mining disaster in Springhill, Nova Scotia, in 1958, and was proclaimed “Citizen of the Year” for saving the lives of his colleagues.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the Timmins Local Immigration Partnership (TLIP), the Timmins & District Multicultural Centre have organized the free musical performance titled “Beneath Springhill: The Story of Maurice Ruddick”, to commemorate Black History Month 2014 and celebrate the cultural diversity of our community.
“The City of Timmins recognizes the importance of an inclusive welcoming community for newcomers and all of its residents. As the community’s cultural diversity continues to evolve, the TLIP and partners play a crucial role in implementing several activities to celebrate multiculturalism which continuously strengthens the social and cultural fabric of the region” says Timmins Economic Development Corporation Chairman, Fred Gibbons.
Thanks to all partners, the performance admission is free, but registration is required. To register, or for additional information, please contact Antoine Vézina at 705-360-2600 Ext. 7081, or by email at: [email protected].
