Resonance Grand Opening & Fundraiser

Join us for the official Grand Opening of Resonance Cultural Centre!

On Saturday, October 3, we’re opening our doors for a full day and night of creativity, movement, music and connection, all in support of our local nonprofit.

This is an invitation to explore the space, experience the many things happening within our walls and discover what Resonance is creating for our community. Come for an activity, stay for the day or join us as we dance into the night.

Everything throughout the event is by donation. Your support helps Resonance create accessible experiences, uplift local artists, educators and facilitators, and continue building a vibrant home for creativity, wellbeing and connection in our community.

Please RSVP to help us plan for the day.

Can’t make it? You can still support the Resonance Community Impact Fund by making a donation here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-support-your-local-creative-community

Every contribution helps this work continue to grow.
