January 25th is Bell Let's Talk day. Nurture your own well-being by practicing and learning mental health strategies.
Did you know that singing lowers cortisol and relieves stress and tension. Studies have shown that when people sing, endorphins and oxytocin are released by the brain which in turn lowers stress and anxiety levels.
Join us any and every Monday evening and get those endorphins flowing! See our Sing with us page for information on visiting us. #BellLetsTalk
Starting January 9, you can find us back at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre on Monday evenings from 7pm to 9:30pm. Drop in for a visit, we'd love to see you!
It's been a long 3 years. But finally, after the pandemic hiatus, and now that we've performed a live show, it feels so great to say...
For the first time in 3 years, due to the forced hiatus through the pandemic, the Ontario District Fall Convention Chorus Contest is back! It took a bit to clear out the cobwebs, but we managed to get dressed, lined up, and ready to go on the contest stage alongside our Chorus friends from across the District.
It's a GO! We've met minimum number threshold. SEATS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!
Save the hassle and stress of the 401 through Toronto and enjoy yourself late into the night at the Saturday Afterglow without worrying about driving in the morning. Take the Barbershop Bus to the Ontario District Dall Convention instead!
On the morning of Friday, October 21, the bus will leave from Ottawa and make stops around Kingston, Belleville, and other places en route to St. Catharines. On Sunday morning after the Convention (Oct 23), the bus will drive you back to where you were picked up from.
Unfortunately, we were unable to meet the minimum number of people to make this happen this time. It was short notice, so that’s understandable. Thanks to the people that did sign up, hope you can still find your way to the show. Maybe next time!

A huge thank you to Nick van Berkel who has done a fantastic job as our Interim Director over the last 6 months, bringing us back from our pandemic hiatus, getting us back on our feet and our voices ringing sweet harmony again! We look forward to having him back on the risers.
