Riversong concert to raise awareness and funds for First Nations advocacy – Kitchissippi Times

November 6th, 2024

In 2018, over a hundred residents gathered on Westboro Beach for Riversong – a celebration of the lifeblood of our region that is the Kichi Sibi, Ottawa River.

Six years later, it’s time for Riversong 2, a concert to bring together many allies and support the First Nations who are challenging the decision to dispose of a million tonnes of radioactive waste less than a kilometre from the Ottawa River.

The gathering will take place on Nov. 22 at First United Church at 347 Richmond Rd. The performers include Ian Tamblyn, Ottawa singer-songwriter Pat Mayberry, and the lead singer and songwriter of Juno Award-winning Kobo Town, Drew Gonsalves. The Celtic group Dolas and Just Voices Choir will also join. The evening will include a silent auction.
