Les Ms. & Friends' "Sing for Care 2020, A Retrospective Through The Years" will be held Sunday at 3 p.m. as a virtual event.
"Present guidelines do not allow us to be physically together, but we could not allow this important event to lapse," the women's choir said in announcing the event.
There will be music and laughter, and special performances and moments, as well as some stories and letters.
"With such a large province, and centralized cancer treatment locations, it can mean a great deal of travel and cost for patients to receive the care they need. The realities of the present pandemic have impacted care and costs. It is important to provide some security at these insecure times."
The video will be aired on the choir's Youtube Channel, (https://youtube.com/channel/UCv8uq1MN3B3qjuOVrIthFyA) .
