Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts

Recently the curtain rose for the first time at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. The much anticipated first night Gala was a great introduction of what the theatre will offer residents of York Region. Many diplomats were in attendance at the event such as the Honorable David C. Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Bill Fisch York Regional Chair and CEO, Richmond Hill Mayor David Barrow Canadian Idol judge Farley Flex, Prima Ballerina Chan Hon Goh and York Regional Police Chief Armand LaBarge to name a few. The evening that was hosted by Mayor David Barrow and Council, also included dancers, the Richmond Hill Philharmonic Orchestra, Bayview Secondary School Choir and performances by Broadway performer and Tony-nominated Canadian artist Louise Pitre. The whole evening was truly magical and as expected was a great introduction a wonderful part of history.
I attended opening night and it truly was a great evening. Somehow I made it on the front of SNAP Richmond Hill who was at the event taking pictures. To see more pictures from the night - click here.
