A 16-year tradition in Renfrew comes to an end tonight. The final Celebration of Life in memory of Janet Robertson has transformed from a dance into an all-day event. This will be the 5th year that Janet’s daughters have organized the event since she passed. April, Alyssa and Amber have said this will be the final Celebration of Life Dance. Following a day long on-location broadcast from 96.1 myFM at local restaurants, the Riley New Band and Ghost Town Cryers will play a show at the Armouries. Riley New says he’s played at all but one Celebration of Life events.
He adds it’s been a huge success over the years.
This morning from 7:00am to 9:00am myFM will be broadcasting live on-location from the Rocky Mountain House. Jamie and Jess will be live from Finnigan’s during lunchtime from 11:00am to 1:00pm and Chris Kyte will be at the Renfrew Pizzeria tonight from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. Money raised from every meal and the dance will go towards to the Renfrew Victoria Hospital Foundation Digital Mammography and Oncology unit and Hospice Renfrew.
