Proudest Moments
One of the founding principles of the CMWC Petawawa is to give back to our community. We have performed at fundraisers and events held by local organizations. We have performed at events in support of woman in our community such as Walk for Her with Funds raised for the Pembroke Regional Hospital Foundation (Cancer Care Campaign) and End Violence Against Women Vigil. Donations have been made to our local foodbanks, Royal Canadian Legion Petawawa Branch 517,Petawawa Truckers’ Toy Drive, and Walk for Her.
Recordings
In 2019 we recorded an original song, “On Guard” written by Corporal Neil Laidlaw and arranged by our Musical Director at the time, Sosun Suh. This song has struck a deep emotional chord with our choir and our listeners alike. Audio arrangement by Bob’s Music and visual production by Aviator Melissa Gloude, Garrison Petawawa Imaging.
