On Kanata Day, The Copper Owl is holding a fundraiser in memoriam to The Coast Salish people and all the aboriginal peoples who have rightful claim to this Nation called Canada.
As we are primarily a venue we've asked some local bands to come up with a 30 minute set that they can perform of Canadian material by Canadian artists.
It turned out to be a pretty awesome list by 7 groups.
Here they are in performance order.
