A community celebration of the music and legacy of Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip continues to grow with performances from local musicians, high school student artists and the winners of an upcoming contest inviting Niagara to share their favourite Hip memory, poem and song. The evening closes with the return of The Poets, a stellar Tragically Hip tribute band who are travelling all the way from Moosonee / Moose Factory to St. Catharines as Downie Wenjack Artist Ambassadors.This concert is part of the PAC’s annual commitment to raise funds and awareness for the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund.
The Poets is a Tragically Hip tribute act based in Moose Factory / Moosonee in northern Ontario. They first got their start in 2018 at a local community arts and music festival called The Gathering Of Our People. Band members include guitarists Clint Hamilton, Rob Carter, bassist Jon Kapashesit, drummer Paul Chakasim and lead singer Vic Linklater. All the guys reside in Moose Factory and Moosonee. Vic saw an opportunity to start something to support Gord Downie’s cause of reconciliation in the wonderful unity that is the Downie Wenjack Fund, of which The Poets are members of. The band will continue into 2024 and beyond with their passion for building bridges and creating partnerships with Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and communities across Ontario and Canada in the true spirit of Gord and truth & reconciliation.
This performance is presented in partnership with the Gord Downie Chanie Wenjack Fund and
Supported by DJB Human Resources Advisory.
