Fighting Fire with Smoke and Mirrors

From the Brant News:

The local response to the Fort McMurray wildfires has been magical.

Not only has Brantford city council approved a $50,000 donation to the Canadian Red Cross, but the city has waived rental fees and crew from the Sanderson Centre has donated their time for a fundraiser on Thursday night (June 2).

The show "Magicians versus Fort McMurray Wildfire – Fighting Fire with Smoke and Mirrors" will feature several of Canada’s top magicians in an up-close-and-personal performance at the Sanderson Centre.

 

All of the ticket proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross to support relief efforts for displaced Alberta residents.
