Public Concert for earthqake victims - May 31 - Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto.
Published on Tuesday, May 27, 2008
In the wake of recent the earthquake in Sichuan Province in China, the "Canada Sichuan Earthquake Relief Committee" has arranged a charity concert on Saturday, May 31 at Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto, from 1:00 - 6:00 PM.
There will over 20 performers, local and international. Concert organizers have received a positive response from humanitarian and mother, Celine Dion. Beyond making a financial contribution, she will also contribute to the concert. The committee also gives deep thanks to The City of Toronto, which has kindly funded the normal cost of the event venue.
This humanitarian disaster on May 12 in China has cost over 60,000 lives lost, 5 million left homeless and an estimated 350,000 injured. China’s new openness has been key to effective deployment of international aid.
The Relief Committee has received so far over $250,000 dollars from private individuals, and $300,000 in medical equipment from the wholly Canadian owned company Apotex - all this in less than 2 weeks since the disaster.
The funds from private individuals have been raised almost exclusively through 70 organizations within the Chinese community in Toronto. Nevertheless the disaster in Sichuan is an event of international importance, and we are therefore reaching out to the rest of the community in the GTA and inviting people from all cultures and backgrounds to broaden attendance and support for those left homeless and suffering.
