BAD TO THE BONE & BOOTLEG CREEDENCE

BAD TO THE BONE is North America's One and Only tribute to George Thorogood! The band was formed in the summer of 1993 by Gator James and has been going strong ever since. Based out of Oshawa, ON, this band is the only authentic tribute to George Thorogood to date and continues to wow audiences from coast to coast. The band has shared stages with many recording artists over the years and some several times over, EG: April Wine, Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, Georgia Satellites, Sass Jordan, Goddo, and many others.

BOOTLEG CREEDENCE features four seasoned, well-respected musicians who have been making music in various combinations and styles, for over twenty-five years. It is only fitting that they should come together to form Bootleg Creedence, and pay homage to a group that dominated the charts during the band members’ formative years, Creedence Clearwater Revival. Bootleg Creedence takes its audience on a rockin’ ride down to the bayou. Authentic-sounding, Bootleg Creedence leaves no stone unturned keeping true to the sound of CCR and John Fogerty.

RAMADAN

Celebrating Ramadan in Canada involves observing the Islamic holy month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Muslims in Canada fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from food, drink, and other physical needs. The month is marked by increased worship, prayer (especially the Taraweeh prayers), and giving to charity. Iftar (the meal to break the fast) is often shared with family and friends, and special events may be held at mosques and community centers. Muslims also celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan with prayers, feasts, and festivities.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!

International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8th each year, is a global event recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It also serves as a call to action for gender equality and women's rights. The day is marked by various events, including rallies, discussions, and performances, highlighting women's contributions and advocating for progress in gender equality worldwide. Each year, International Women's Day is centered around a specific theme to raise awareness and drive change.

MARCH BREAK

In Ontario, Canada, School March Break (often referred to as Spring Break) is a scheduled one-week break during the month of March. It is a holiday for elementary and secondary school students, typically taking place in the middle of the month. This break provides students and staff a short respite from schoolwork and classes, and it is a time for families to go on vacation, relax, or engage in leisure activities.

The dates for the March Break vary slightly each year depending on the school board, but it usually falls around the second or third week of March. During this time, many families in Ontario take advantage of the break to travel, enjoy winter or early spring activities, or spend time together.

It’s important to note that some school boards may have different schedules, so it’s always a good idea to check with the local school or district to confirm specific dates.
