According to Passion Celine Dion she also gave a concert at the Grand Theatre de Quebec on December 6, 1990.

Celine Dion tour suspended
On the advice of her doctor, singer Celine Dion has postponed the rest of her concert tour for a two-month period, effective immediately. According to a communique from promoter Donald K. Donald, Dion is still suffering the effects of a bout with laryngitis, coupled with exhaustion from a series of performances at Theatre St. Denis. Performances in Quebec City, Sherbrooke, Ottawa and Trois Rivieres, scheduled for January and February, will be rescheduled in the spring

1991

March 5, 1991 86 Street Music Hall, Vancouver (source)

March 8, 1991 Arden Theatre, St. Albert (source) (review)

There is an article published on the Calgary Herald on March 10, 1991 titled "Dion Gets Crowd Dancing in Aisles", so I guess the concert in Calgary could have been on March 9.

According to this file, her debut concert in Calgary was a show for 117 people. Maybe it was this concert.

March 11, 1991 Walker Theatre, Winnipeg
Here's the ticket!

March 15, 1991 Winter Garden Theatre, Toronto

On May 19, she started a tour of Quebec (37 concerts in 25 cities/towns according to the official biography).

According to Passion Celine Dion she gave a concert at the Grand Theatre de Quebec on June 4, 1991.

June 19, 1991 Montreal Forum, Montreal

August 1, 1991 Festival des voiles de Longueuil - Marie Victorin Waterfront Park

August 3, 1991 Vieux Port de Quebec

On August 28 and 29, she was scheduled to perform in Sept-Îles and Baie-Comeau.

I don't know if those 37 concerts include the festivals/free concerts where she sang.

August 25, 1991 Canadian National Exhibition Grandstand (Michael Bolton / Celine Dion / Oleta Adams) (source)

October 9, 1991 Cardinal Cushing Auditorium (at Mount Saint Vincent University), Halifax
It seats 700 people. It was her first concert in Halifax. Mike Robinson was the opening act.

Francois Massicotte opened 75 concerts for her in 1990-1991. (source)

There are many dates missing.

Thanks They are the same, but it includes more additional dates in Montreal and Quebec. We don't know if some of them were cancelled later because of her vocal problems.

Max24: the dates of October and November in Quebec and Ottawa weren't included on Wikipedia. Was it you who updated that page?

Celine was scheduled to perform 17 shows at The Grand Theatre de Quebec in 1990 and early 1991.
Source: http://collections.b...6_D.pdf#page=13

However, 8 dates were cancelled due to her vocal cords damage; January 25, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31 and February 1, 2 1991.

So, all told, she performed 9 concerts: October 30, 31, November 1, 2, 3 and December 6, 7, 8, 9, 1990. She later perfomed 4 additional concerts in June 1991 which I posted above.

I have finally found a source for the March 1991 Canadian dates. This RPM article provides confirmation for two dates and venues we didn't have: March 5 and 9. The March 8th show is not on the list which is strange because the article was published on March 2nd, less than a week before the date. March 8th was on the theatre's website archives and there is a tweet from September 12, 2019 where they posted some pics from that concert. Link: https://twitter.com/...242914191249408
Source: http://rpmimages.334...ch 2, 1991.pdf.

This is the complete list:

March 5, 1991 Orpheum, Vancouver
March 6, 1991 Jubilee, Edmonton
March 8, 1991 Arden Theatre, St. Albert - Edmonton (Opening Act Crystal Plamondon)
March 9, 1991 Performing Arts Center, Calgary
March 11, 1991 Walker Theatre, Winnipeg
March 15, 1991 Winter Garden Theatre, Toronto

So I know this doesn’t have anything to do with dates of the tour per say, but I found something on eBay that claims to be a DVD of this tour, but the seller doesn’t seem to know a lot. I’ll link below and you guys can let me know what you think. https://www.ebay.com...emis&media=COPY

I would guess it’s just her show in Toronto at Winter Garden.

Just found out that Céline performed an acoustic medley with some major gems during a show in Sherbrooke back in 1991. This comes from this short article shared by Celine Dion Performances on Instagram earlier today.

English translation:

Wearing a black dress, Céline performed thirteen songs and two encores. The Unison album made nearly half of the setlist. Special mention to the new acoustic version of three old hits: Fais ce que tu voudras, Mon ami m’a quittée and D’amour ou d’amitié. Interesting!

[Abodi2002]

Never heard of this. Think that was around the time she lost her voice. Is any setlist before that known? We know I'm Loving Every Moment with You was in the set for at least one show.
