This performance was such a hit in our 10 for 10 series last year, we are bringing it back as a fundraiser for improvements to the Greaves Auditorium.  Help us give you a greater venue to enjoy performances of all kinds.

A multi-media concert portraying life around Georgian Bay in the late 1800s

Late in the nineteenth century, passengers and goods were transported around the many ports of Georgian Bay on wooden steamships. The region was booming with lumber mills and fishing stations. As competition rose for the business of moving these goods, the owners and captains took great risks. Sailing late into the season, braving the severe unpredictable waters of Georgian Bay, many tragic endings came to those travellers.

Using descriptive lyrics and music along with rare photographs and newspaper articles collected from regional museums and archives, ‘Songs of Georgian Bay’ unfolds the tragic and sometimes mysterious stories of those lost steamers.
