Canadian Forces Show Tour Heads North

NR 08.011

November 21, 2008

Ottawa (ON) – Canadian Forces Personnel will be energized by visitors from home. A Canadian Forces (CF) Show Tour, featuring a group of Canadian performers, will visit Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert, Canadas most northerly military base in the High Artic, from December 5^th to 10^th. Show Tours to deployed operations and remote locations in Canada are a part of the morale and welfare programs organized by the Canadian Forces Personnel and Family Support Services (CFPFSS).

The show will open with singer Jenny Galt and a mix of French and English rock followed by actor/comedian Shaun Majumder. Patricia Conroy, the duo Carmen and Camille, Alan Frew, a Canadian and international recording star, Sierra Noble and the band Atlantic Crossing will be the other artists performing.

CFPFSS has a long tradition of providing Show Tours to CF members serving overseas and in isolated locations. Over the course of a six-month rotation, a CF Show Tour plays an important part in major operations and is always a big morale booster, bringing a small piece of Canada to deployed military personnel.
