“This stellar line-up is another example of the great artists CUPE presents with Rock For Public Services,” said Mike Cerha, TD Place VP of Venues and Entertainment. “We are thrilled to host this amazing free concert at The Arena at TD Place again this year and look forward to a great night of music and charity.”
Rock for Public Services is an annual free concert that CUPE 503 stages in Ottawa to celebrate and promote the importance of public services. “We are honoured to have Randy Bachman perform at TD Place with his all-star band and special guests. The Rock for Public Services concerts have been a great platform to bring awareness around the fantastic public services we have in the Nation’s Capital. Every day we are touched in some way by public services, from the time we get up and turn the tap on, to when we drive to work, or take our children to day care, we all rely our public services” said Brian Madden, CUPE 503 President.
This year marks the ninth edition of Rock For Public Services. “This annual event has been a very successful forum to raise much-needed funds for some great Ottawa charities. This year we have selected Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ottawa and are happy to promote such a great cause” said Brian Madden. Donations are accepted throughout TD Place on the night of the event.
Rock For Public Services at TD Place is free for everyone of all ages. No tickets are required for the event, seats are available for free on a first come, first served basis. Limited paid parking is available on-site.
