Rock 94 is proud to support the 3rd  annual Celebrity Hockey Classic in support of Easter Seals Ontario.

On Friday, October 25, hockey fans in the Thunder Bay area will have the opportunity to skate with NHL greats in the city’s third annual Celebrity Hockey Classic in support of Easter Seals Ontario.

The tournament kicks off the evening of Thursday, October 24 with an unforgettable Draft Party, where each team will select a NHL star to play on their team. Draft positions will be determined by the total dollars raised by each team. After an evening spent getting to know their celebrity teammate, teams will hit the ice on Friday, October 25 at the Thunder Bay Tournament Centre. Each team is guaranteed a minimum three games with VIP treatment before and after each game.
An All-Star game ends the tournament with the top individual fundraisers from each team taking on the Celebrity All-Star Team in a thrilling game of hockey. Other Celebrity Hockey Classic tournaments taking place this year feature Eric Lindros in Whitby, Brad May in Halton, Rick Vaive in Waterloo and events in Brampton, Grey Bruce and York-Simcoe.
 
Each team must pay a registration fee of $1,500 (non-refundable/non-receiptable) plus a minimum of $400 per player in fundraising in order to qualify to play in the tournament.

Funds will help kids in Ontario with physical disabilities live more independently within their communities.

For the past 96 years, Easter Seals has been providing support for children and youth with physical disabilities with programs including funding for essential mobility and accessibility equipment, as well as fully accessible summer camp opportunities at its two properties, Camp Merrywood and Camp Woodeden.

Rock 94 is proud to support Magnus Theatre 2019/2020 Season!
September 12, 2019- May 2, 2020
Magnus Theatre is very happy to announce an exciting season of comedy, drama and music for 2019-2020.
“I am absolutely thrilled to present this Mainstage Season to our patrons,” says Thom Currie, now entering his third year as Magnus Theatre’s Artistic Director. “We have assembled a season for everyone, and I guarantee that your next visit to Magnus Theatre will always be a different experience than your last.”
Currie continues, “Magnus Theatre is one of the landmarks of Thunder Bay and one of the great regional theatres of North America.   As such, we have a responsibility to program for everybody, offering a season that delivers different experiences each time a patron walks through the door.  Whether you are a long time subscriber attending our gala evenings or a student coming to a Sunday Pay What You Can for the first time, I encourage you to come and enjoy the Magnus Theatre experience.  There is nothing like it.”
Tickets for the Mainstage Season at Magnus Theatre are available immediately.  Subscriptions and Flexi-Packs can be purchased online at www.magnustheatre.com or by contacting the Box Office at 807-345-5552
 

Show 1: SHOUT! The Mod Musical- September 12-October 5, 2019.
The Mainstage Season kicks off with SHOUT! The Mod Musical, by Phillip George and David Lowenstein.  Featuring some of the greatest hit songs of all time, SHOUT!  takes audiences back to the music, style and freedom of the 1960s, featuring terrific new arrangements of such classic tunes as "To Sir with Love," "Downtown,"  and "Son of a Preacher Man."  SHOUT! The Mod Musical runs from September 12-October 5, 2019.
“This show is a lot of fun,” declares Currie. “Magnus has a great tradition in this style of show,  where a style of music is explored over the course of an evening.  I know that Thunder Bay will be on its feet for SHOUT!”
 

Show 2: This Is How We Got Here- October 24-November 9, 2019.
The second show of the season will be This Is How We Got Here by Keith Barker.  A heart wrenching drama about a family dealing with loss and working to maintain the ties that keep them together. Shortlisted for the 2018 Governor General’s Literary Award for drama, This Is How We Got Here runs October 24-November 9, 2019.
“This Is How We Got Here is an incredibly touching play,” Currie says. “Written by a playwright from our region, I am so happy to be able to bring this work to Thunder Bay.”
 

Show 3: It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play- December 5-21, 2019.
Closing out the year, the Magnus stage will be transformed into a 1940s radio station with It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, adapted from the beloved holiday classic movie by Joe Landry. With an ensemble bringing dozens of characters to the stage, the story of idealistic George Bailey will delight family audiences for the holiday season, running December 5-21, 2019.
“As a storyteller, I have always loved Christmas movies,” the Artistic Director enthuses. “To be able to bring this one to the stage at Magnus is magical.”
 

Show 4: The Birds And the Bees - January 30-February 15, 2020.
The first play of 2020 will be The Birds And the Bees by Mark Crawford, a laugh out loud comedy about a woman who has  just moved back in with her beekeeper  mother following a failed marriage. Their lives are complicated by beehive troubles, an eccentric neighbor, and a handsome young researcher.  The Birds And The Bees runs January 30-February 15, 2020.
“Mark Crawford is fast becoming one of the great Canadian comedic playwrights. We had a great time with Bed And Breakfast in 2017, and I know that Magnus audiences will love this new play.”
 

Show 5: Cottagers And Indians- March 12-28, 2020
The wit and wisdom of Drew Hayden Taylor returns to the Magnus stage with one of his latest plays, Cottagers And Indians.  An Indigenous man has taken it upon himself to repopulate his local lakes with wild rice, much to the disapproval of the cottagers, many of whom  feel the plant interferes with boating, fishing, swimming, and is generally an eyesore that brings down the property values.  This comedy is produced with Tarragon Theatre from Toronto, and runs March 12-28, 2020.
“Magnus Theatre has a great history with playwright and humourist Drew Hayden Taylor, from Berlin Blues to Crees In The Caribbean,” says Currie. “I am always thrilled to have one  of his plays as part of our season.”
 

Show 6: Screwball Comedy- April 16-May 2, 2020.
The 2019-2020 Mainstage Season ends with Screwball Comedy, from the pen of Norm Foster.  Set in 1938, this fast-paced comedy is the story of a young woman trying to break into the male-dominated world of newspaper journalism.  Homage to the zany screwball comedies of the 1930s, this play is full of snappy dialogue, outrageous characters, and humour that packs a punch, running April 16-May 2, 2020.
“Norm Foster is Canada’s most produced playwright,” Currie says.  “His plays are a delight, and I know that Thunder Bay audiences will enjoy this show.”

Rock 94 is proud to support the Isthmus Program- Thunder Bay

ISTHMUS THUNDER BAY

“Isthmus” formerly known as Blessings in a Backpack, is a registered charity that runs a unique program that provides food for Elementary School children that rely solely on school subsidized meals,  and because of that have little or no food for the weekends.

Bags of food are provided to these children to take home on Fridays and they come back to school on Monday ready to learn.

Isthmus Thunder Bay is currently feeding 383 children in 13 of our elementary schools with children on a waiting list. To take on a school, the funds for the children have to be in place for the next 3 years. The reason is the program cannot go into a school and pull out after a year.

The cost per child is $120 per school year, which broken down is $3.00 per child per weekend.

Donations can be made on line at: www.isthmus.ca  , click on the button “Direct my Donations”, and choose the city of Thunder Bay.

For more info on the program or to make a donation please visit : www.isthmus.ca

Rock 94 is proud to support the TBRHSF Our Hearts at Home Campaign

October 16 through May 2020

The Our Hearts At Home Cardiovascular Campaign raises funds that are specifically directed to the cardiovascular surgery program at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

Where else in Ontario do you need to drive a day (or more) to access cardiac surgery? Nowhere. Thunder Bay is the only major city in Ontario where access to cardiac surgery is a day’s drive away or more. No one else in the province lacks this critical access. No one. Even in comparable cities like Sudbury, people can have cardiac surgery. Immediately. Not ‘in a few hours’. Not ‘in a few weeks’. Immediately.

It’s time for us to create local access for people who have the highest need for both cardiac and vascular surgery. To guarantee that care is unquestionably world-class. It’s time for us to keep families together when faced with an incredibly stressful situation. To help patients be supported as they undergo a life-saving procedure. It’s time for us to ensure patients can choose surgery without having to question whether they can afford to travel or whether their companions can afford to accompany them. To remove long-distance travel from the equation.

It’s our time-  Time to bring a full Cardiovascular Surgery Program to Thunder Bay!

It is the last missing piece of the healthcare puzzle in Northwestern Ontario. You can make the Our Hearts At Home Cardiovascular Campaign a success so that patients have access to closer-to-home cardiovascular care, shorter recoveries and a much better overall quality of life.

Our hearts are in your hands.
