About the Marquee Event

Women’s Resources brings top rated, Canadian performers to our local community – one way to say thank you to our generous supporters and donors.

The Marquee Event brings excitement and energy to the community and has raised considerable funds (over $275,000) for Women’s Resources.

Since we began this fundraiser in 2011, we have never looked back…

Our first Marquee was with Arlene Dickinson on International Women’s Day in 2011. The local businesses and media embraced the event with generous sponsorships. The community responded wholeheartedly and the show sold out.

Since then performers for the Marquee have included Rick Mercer (twice!), Chantal Kreviazuk, The Jim Cuddy Band, Jann Arden (twice!), Blue Rodeo, Serena Ryder, Dean Brody, Colin James, The Reklaws and High Valley. Each performer has contributed to our national identity and it was an honour to have them perform for us and our community.
