Last month’s RCMP Musical Ride performance at Swangard stadium did more than just entertain some 3,000 spectators.
The event raised some cash for local charities. Ticket sales brought in a total of $10,000, which will be split evenly between Cops for Cancer and KidSport, according to a city staff the report.
“Swangard Stadium provided Burnaby residents a tremendous venue to enjoy a unique, entertaining evening featuring the RCMP Musical Ride,” the report says.
The RCMP E Division Pipes and Drums band also played at the event, along with Stephen Saccia, who sang O Canada. Attendees were also greeted with public safety and crime prevention displays.
