Arts and Music - What’s happening?

We are delighted to work with many artists, musicians, theatre groups as well as partnering with local festivals and groups to bring a wide variety of artistic events to our community.

We acknowledge the links between spirituality and the arts, particularly in our First Nations musicians, and celebrate the depth that music and the arts bring to our experience of life. Our events reflect our love of the arts and our commitment to be a community of hospitality and welcome.
