Why ARThritis Soiree?

The ARThritis Soirée is an evening that brings together the city’s business and community leaders, philanthropists, doctors, scientists, healthcare professionals, and all those who share an appreciation of art and a desire to support arthritis research.

Research has shown that art adds to one’s wellbeing and is therefore a great element in managing chronic diseases on a holistic level. Moreover, with a different art form chosen each year, there is an extra factor of excitement and depth to the Soirée. Arthritis Research Canada is thrilled to welcome Colin James for an up-close and personal performance. From the prairies of Saskatchewan to the stages of the world, sharing his talent with some of the greatest and most influential musicians of all time, Colin James has quietly and steadily established himself as one of Canada’s greatest musicians. Guests will be treated to an up close and personal show with Colin, who will amaze with his rock, blues, and R&B style of music.
