50th Anniversary Gala Success

Events
Written By Vic Hooper

The Concert Hall of Winnipeg’s Fort Garry Hotel provided the perfect atmosphere for this momentous occasion. Guests entered the room to the sound of piano selections played by former chorister Michael Mckay. The evening was filled with good food, displays of memorabilia, singing by the choir and ended with dancing to the sounds of The Ron Paley Quintet.

The sold-out event consisted of past and current choir members, concert patrons, sponsors and enthusiastic guests. Thanks to all who attended and made this a memorable celebration.
