By: Carlotta Carmichael and Janis Edwards

Each Thursday at 1pm, under the direction of our dedicated staff Carlotta, a number of talented ladies and gentlemen from the North York Region Supported Work and Community Activities program gather to sing songs of all genres and from all decades. Sometimes without words even in blended tones, we share the joy of singing and enrich the lives of others in our community.

Willi Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was our first musical, and we are currently working on The Lion King.

On the last Thursday of each month, the residents of Hawthorne Place Care Centre are entertained by our choir and this trip is the main focus of rehearsals throughout the month. During the summer, we tour places of interest, listen to classical music or just hang out at places like Nathan Phillips Square.  At the end of November, when winter rolls around, we pack up our road tours and volunteer assignments until February. We invite you to come to our program on Thursdays and be entertained. We are also always looking for opportunities to showcase our talent!

We hope to see you out at one of our shows soon!

Our Choir members are: Alan, Annmarie, Arnold, Aziz, Daninah, David, Dawn, Elaine, Frances, Isabella, Jonathan, Judy, Linda, Maria, Marie, Marilee, Rachel and Shane.
