Premier Craig Cannonier will join CableVision in hosting a Christmas Carol concert to benefit their “Open Hands Loving Hearts” food drive.

Along with Christmas carols, the benefit will showcase choirs from local schools, including the Bermuda Institute, Clearwater Middle School, Dellwood Middle School, Lagoon Park Preschool, Mount Saint Agnes, Northlands Primary, Prospect Primary, Saltus and Victor Scott Primary.

“The holidays are a special time of year and I’m pleased to have the opportunity to celebrate with the Bermuda community at the Christmas concert,” said Premier Cannonier.

“The event provides an opportunity to celebrate our youth and an opportunity to donate to the “Open Hands Loving Hearts” food drive to ensure the Coalition for the Protection of Children and Teen Services are prepared for the holiday season.”

CableVision General Manager, Terry Roberson thanked the Premier for his support and said CableVision was “humbled by the generosity and support from the community” for the food drive.

The Premier’s willingness to join forces with CableVision “shows a kind government who understands the needs of our people,” said Mr Roberson.

There is no admission fee for the event, however those attending will need to bring at least three non-perishable food items for donation.

The event will take place at the Cabinet Office grounds on December 7, starting at 3pm and ending at 6pm — just prior to the start of the Annual Christmas boat parade.

Bermuda CableVision launched its “Open Hands Loving Hearts” food drive in April and distributes the food to charitable organisations who are in need.
