The Ontario Presbyterian Chorus enjoyed their concert so much in September that they are coming to Belleville to raise more funds for the Alzheimer Society.  Mark your calendars for Sunday, April 18, 2010, 7 pm at Victoria Avenue Baptist Church in Bellevillle.  The church is at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Pinnacle Street.  Parking is on Pinnacle Street and some spots at Moira Glass, just north of the church.  No charge for admission, but a freewill offering will be collected. About the Chorus: The Ontario Presbyterian Chorus was formed in 1989 and is a combined venture of the Presbyterian Men’s Chorus (1972), the Covenanter Singers (1984) both based in Toronto and the Georgian Bay Area Chorus based in Stayner.  The Toronto Chorus undertakes a regular concert schedule throughout the year and the combined Chorus gives several concerts in the spring and fall. The Chorus has travelled extensively in Canada, Northern Ireland and Erie, Scotland, Maritime Provinces, Northern Ontario, Western Canada, Newfoundland and most recently to Switzerland.   Return to Top Book Sales Our three annual used book sales are a major source of fundraising for our chapter.  They are held in the Bay View Mall (470 Dundas St. E, Bellevillle) in the main concourse.
