Previous Choir Tours to Canada

TONNA MALE VOICE CHOIR
ITINERARY TO EASTERN CANADA

It was time to say goodbye to Toronto and make the 5-6 hour journey to Ottawa, Canada’s capital City by luxury air conditioned coach.

Once all had settled into their rooms in the Quality Hotel, the remainder of the day was left free for sightseeing or relaxing.

In the evening, Mr & Mrs Hopkins, the Burleigh Travel raffle winners enjoyed a complementary meal in the hotel’s restaurant courtesy of their Tour Operator.

Wednesday 7th April

This was a free day where popular attractions were visited such as the impressive Parliament Buildings.

In the evening, the group were transferred to The St Giles Presbyterian Church for their second concert of the tour.

This was a joint performance with the Osgoode Township Male Voice Choir. Prior to the concert both choirs met for the first time to rehearse their joint numbers and prepare for the performance.

The evening ended with a surprise performance form the Osgoode Choir, which was again enjoyed by the Tonna choristers and audience alike.

Afterwards the group enjoyed a reception kindly prepared by the Osgoode choristers.

I would like to pass on the thanks of Tonna MVC and add the thanks of Burleigh Travel for all the effort and work undertaken by the Osgoode Township Male Choir in hosting this event.

Thursday 8th April 2004

This morning was free to allow the group to visit the bustling Byward Market which was within walking distance from their hotel.

Alternatively a boat trip along the famous Rideau Canal might have been their choice. The evening was also free to enjoy a meal in one of the capitals many fine restaurants.

An ideal way to see the City is by taking a tour by trolley bus. This unique service picks you up close to your hotel and transports you around the city.

The experienced guides will identify the points of interest and you can hop on and off when you like to explore sights in further detail such as the Ontario Royal Museum, the CN Tower or for the ladies the luxury shopping malls’ housed within the Eaton Centre Complex.

Friday 9th April 2004

The group again enjoyed a free day until early evening when they were transferred to the City View United Church for their third performance. As this was another joint performance time was required to rehearse and prepare for the joint numbers with the Ottawa Welsh Choral Society.

Thanks must be passed to the host choir for their assistance in staging the event and also to the audience for the manner in which the concert was accepted. The concert was an ideal way to round off their stay in Ottawa.
