Tomorrow Night - Canadian Singers (Bieber! Geddy Lee! Shania Twain!) Will Put On A Concert For Charity

Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble, with a theme of "Hope and Optimism", is being put on in support of Canada's food banks and front-line workers. It will feature more than 70 musicians, actors, comedians and notable Canadians including Ryan Reynolds, Céline Dion, The Barenaked Ladies, The Cast of Schitt's Creek, Mike Meyers, Margaret Atwood  and Cirque du Soleil, to name just a select few. 

Food Banks Canada Chief Development and Partnerships Officer Tania Little said that every month 1.1 million Canadians feel the pressure of not having enough food to eat. The organization kicked off its relief-effort campaign five weeks ago with a goal to raise $150 million — which will, effectively, provide three months’ supply of items to food banks across her country to provide for people in need.

“We’re very fortunate to work in such a caring nation where so many wonderful organizations can partner to address issues of food insecurity in this country,” said Little. “And, I’ll tell you, now more than ever, we’ve banded together to provide that support for Canadians in need.”

With the “overarching theme” of the show being “hope and optimism” Little said she wants Canadian viewers to “watch with awareness,” while, hopefully, becoming inspired to donate in support of Canada’s multiple local food banks coast-to-coast as they navigate the multiple organizational challenges — namely, not having enough food or volunteer staff — brought on by COVID-19.

The concert kicks of 6:30 PM EST (and will air commercial-free) Viewers can live-stream the event on CTV.ca, CBC, ca and Globaltv.com.
