Kingstonians will honour women’s artistic, economic, innovative, political,
and social contributions here in our city and from across the world through
March 6 to 14, 2010 to celebrate International Women’s Day and Week, while
also supporting the local women who continue to challenge the structures
that contribute to the practice and maintenance of discrimination,
exploitation, oppression, and violence against women. This year’s theme of
We Don’t Stop recognizes the positive changes that have been made by women
in our past, but also illustrates the struggle that exists in gender
equality today.
The We Don’t Stop Fundraising Concert, featuring Girlz Like That, Calamity
Janes, Caledonias, Gillian Shields, Samba Maracuja, and Shawnee Talbot, will
cap off We Don’t Stop International Women’s Week in Kingston and will be
held at The Mansion (506 Princess Street) on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at
8:00 p.m. Entry to the concert will be based on a sliding scale from $5 to
$15 at the door and all proceeds will benefit the survivors of sexual and
domestic violence at Sexual Assault Centre Kingston and Kingston Interval
House.

CFRC 101.9FM is proud to present the final installment of its “Into the Magic Soundbox” performance series for the 2008-2009 season on Friday, June 19, with two live shows at the Upper Canada Academy of the Performing Arts, 260 Brock St.
Presented in concert with the Skeleton Park Music festival, the ultimate Soundbox will feature local performers False Face, the House is Black, Hawkward and TimKnightUs. Join us as these artists pluck, pick and weave through a silk-spun web of quiet stories, braiding together conversations with local community members (our “surprise guests”).
Performances will take place at 7:30 and 10pm and are open to all ages. Admission is free. Into the Magic Soundbox is made possible through the generous support of the Kingston Arts Council through the City of Kingston Arts Fund.
