Formed by a handful of University of Western students in 2005, the Miss G Project rose out of common frustration. The founders realized that in all of their high school experiences completed in Ontario were far from ideal. None of them had heard of gender studies, anti-oppression, or feminist theories until they hit university.

They began a grassroots feminist project which started with photocopied info sheets and has now blossomed into the Miss G Project which works with teachers and non-conforming youth to facilitate a new curriculum.  

A Hands Across the Border Christmas Cantores Celestes Women's Choir under the direction of founder Kelly Galbraith, perform two Christmas classics from both sides of the 49th parallel - 'Sir Christemas' in celebration of Toronto composer Derek Holman's 80th Birthday, and American composer, Conrad Susa's 'Carols and Lullabies of the Southwest'. Also on tap, gospel Christmas music and other Canadian gems. Celestes Celestes joined by Ellen Meyer (piano), Andy Morris (percussion), Jacqueline Goring (harp), Michael Kolk (guitar), Karen Houston (cello) and Stephen Tam (flute). A $1,000 donation will be made to The Assaulted Women's Helpline.

General Admission $20, no reserved seating
