Memorial Centre to be lit in red in support of live event industry
One of Red Deer’s largest performing arts facilities will join hundreds of similar venues from across the country in highlighting the impact of COVID-19 on their industry.
On Sept. 22, the Red Deer Memorial Centre will be joined by the Red Deer College Arts Centre and Bo’s Bar and Stage in lighting up red for a Day of Visibility.
The nation-wide campaign aims to support Canadian live event workers who’ve lost their livelihoods due to the ongoing pandemic.
One hour after sundown from coast-to-coast, hundreds of venues and buildings will light their exteriors red to raise awareness for an industry that is largely still dark and likely one of the last industries to recover.
