Gord’s Legacy Concert: Walking the Path of Reconciliation

Friday, October 18, 2019

With the passing of Gord Downie on 17 October 2017, Canadians lost one of our most beloved music icons. Gord spent his final days shining a light on the reconciliation with this country’s First Peoples. He asked all Canadians to join the call to action. The First Ontario PAC is honored to once again host a group of Canadian artists who have joined our collective reconciliation journey with a concert to promote awareness, education and thoughtful action. The evening will end with a sing-a-long around a Sacred Fire in our backyard.

Featured artists will include Royal Wood, Tom Wilson, Dala, Kevin Fox and more. Funds raised will go directly to the Downie Wenjack Fund.

REGULAR: $49 // HOT TICKET MEMBERS $39
UNIVERSITY & COLLEGE: $25 // HIGH SCHOOL: $5

This performance is part of the Escarpment Series, sponsored by Vineland Estates Winery.

Tickets available online for 19/20 HOT TICKET members as of Thursday 20 June at 10 am. // Regular tickets on sale Thur 5 Sept at 10am.
