More than 50 big-name Canadians join national broadcast to salute to COVID-19 front-line workers

TORONTO, ON, APRIL 23, 2020 – It’s more a question of who ‘isn’t’ appearing on the ‘Stronger Together, Tous Ensemble’ 90-minute (originally 60-min.) national broadcast saluting workers combatting COVID-19 on the frontlines as a virtual who’s who of over 70 Canadian artists and athletes band together also in the aid of Food Banks Canada on Sunday April 26, 2020 at 6:30 pm.

With the announcement that Justin Bieber, Mike Myers, Serge Ibaka, Avril Lavigne, Pascal Siakim, Ryan Reynolds, he cast of Schitt’s Creek, and now legendary Nova Scotia songstress Anne Murray, have also signed on, the list of Canadian superstars appearing Sunday night is at least 70 strong. It includes iconic Canadian music legends Geddy Lee, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Robbie Robertson, Burton Cummings, as well as numerous other popular bands, musicians, comedians, famous athletes and more. And there is no telling whether even more superstars will put in an appearance, although there is only a scattering of remaining big-name acts yet to sign on, including Toronto music giants Drake and The Weeknd.

Toronto’s Geddy Lee, legendary bassist and lead singer from Canadian rock icons, Rush will appear on the “Stronger Together:Tous Ensemble” 90-minute special along with a who’s who of Canadian artists, athletes and more.

The event honouring frontline workers, is in support of Food Banks Canada’s $150-million campaign to provide immediate support to food banks across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic.
