The Flin Flon Community Choir is starting to prepare for its next major musical next year - though it won’t be revealing exactly what it will be for a few more weeks.

After more than two years of pandemic-related delays, the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra [MCO] will bring a program of live classical music to Flin Flon this week.

After an event raised tens of thousands of dollars for Ukraine relief earlier this month, two more events are taking place to raise money for humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

"What a wild and wonderful weekend we just had in our fabulous Flin Flon. We certainly hope some of you were able to enjoy it with us."

Northern Manitoba’s biggest arts show will be coming back to Flin Flon later this spring.

It may still be months away from coming to fruition, but this year’s edition of the Blueberry Jam Music Gathering is now being planned.

"There is a very cool event coming this week within our arts and cultural community. It’s actually an online event so that means it is going to be available all over Manitoba - no, wait - all over Canada, or maybe we mean all over the world."

Perhaps it’s relief that the deep freeze weather has relented or more likely, that we were just so happy to see Ann Ross and Doug McGregor hosting Local Roots again, but we are feeling a bit more hopeful these days.

Flin Flon’s most active drama troupe is preparing for their first show of 2022 - a romp based on British detective novels and tropes.

"This is the last story in our retelling of the Flin Flon Community Choir’s magnificent trip to Manhattan in 2013 - though this happened not in New York City but in my beautiful Flin Flon and not in 2013, but in the spring of 2016."
