The Neema Children’s Choir is back on Labour Day weekend to perform lively songs of Christian faith and traditional African dances by children and young people ages 8 to 17 years old. The choir, which is made up of Ugandan children and young people ages 8 to 17, performs to raise awareness and funds for the Neema Child Project. CDs of the choir’s music and African jewelry and crafts will be available to purchase with proceeds going toward getting Ugandan children into school.

Take advantage of local food, plants, and artisan products every Saturday, all year long at the Barrie Farmers’ Market. The market keeps bringing fresh local goodness to Mulcaster Street all the way through October. Stop in between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. and meet your local farmers, producers, chefs, bakers, and artisans, then wander downtown to take in the waterfront. See you Saturday!
