On Friday, March 15, at 7 p.m., Christ Church Anglican (591 4th Ave) will host Great Plains, a veteran touring duo, for a fundraising music concert, followed by a social time in the parish hall.

Christ Church hopes to sell out! All concert profits will go to the ‘All Mothers and Children Count’ initiative of the Anglican Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF).

This initiative supports maternal, newborn and children’s health in rural areas of Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi and Mozambique. “And guess what?” remarks Reverend Andrea Brennan, “Global Affairs Canada matches our donation an amazing six to one! So, come on out! All are welcome.”

If you are wondering what to expect at the concert, Saskia and Darrel of Great Plains describe their music as “a taste of celtic, a dab of bluegrass, a touch of folk all wrapped around extremely beautiful melodies.”

They tour across Canada and in Western Europe and are happy to be coming to back to Fernie for an almost Spring Concert. They have an easy, crowd-friendly style that works for everybody as they sing and tell stories about Grain Elevators, War brides, Patchwork quilts, and history makers such as Louis Riel and David Thompson.

The $15 tickets are available at Fernie Stationers or by emailing [email protected] . Some tickets may be available at the door depending on pre-sales. For more information: www.christchurchfernie.ca www.thegreatplains.ca www.pwrdf.org
