In, Sept. 1981, 12 determined women gathered to discuss the idea of forming a new Sweet Adelines chorus in Regina. They set the plan in motion and by 1983, there were another 11 singers lined up. The Prairie Gold Chorus was officially chartered by Sweet Adelines International on Feb. 1, 1983.

The PAC debuted our songs for “Back FOR The Future” at our combined 50th Anniversary Christmas show in December 2022. 

This year is the 25th Anniversary of our Charter and we have several performances coming up including a big show in October.

Westcoast is still riding high from our 6th-place finish at International in Phoenix, and our excitement has paid off with an almost unprecedented influx of new members.

The White Spruce City Chorus had an Acapella Bootcamp in October 2022 in which 12 new members joined us for the Christmas season!

We feel galvanized with excitement about the future. The silver lining left by COVID is felt by everyone…we are more aware, rejuvenated and appreciative of each other and the freedom to sing once again for the public in person.

Looking back over the past few months – it’s been busy and satisfying.

Alberta Gold took a few weeks off during the summer, then we spent the Labour Day Monday at a Community Market/Food Trucks event to promote our chorus. We sang every hour and had so much fun.

Returning to live rehearsals in February 2022 was wonderful. Coming together in person was a happy & joyful reunion!

Chinook Winds is sad to acknowledge the loss of Valerie Kuelker, this beautiful soul who passed on October 4, 2022.

That Top Ten score, the first in our 57-year history, took us to the Finals, where we came away with a 6th-place International medal. We couldn’t be more proud.

Imagination, Hope, and tenacity do make dreams come true. As we run down the list of events planned during the pandemic, and tick each item off, we believe our chorus is the epitome of that theory and we’re reminded that no matter what comes our way, if it were not for looking to tomorrow – we would not be ready when the sun finally shines.

Magic City Chorus is igniting the sound! We had a great response to our Guest Night on September 13th with 9 women attending our rehearsal.

It’s been a busy Summer and Fall for the Membership team at Lions Gate Chorus.

Thanksgiving 2022 was such a good time for the PAC. When Rich Tones won the SAI chorus gold, Dale Syverson spoke of how thankful she was that they survived, following the stages of the pandemic.

Following two years of Covid restrictions and cancelled regional and international competitions, Bewitched Quartet was thrilled to win the gold medal in the 2022 Region 26 Quartet Competition.

Battlefords Blend Chorus resumed regular rehearsals on the first Tuesday of September. It was a good feeling to have everyone together, especially with some new faces.

We so miss this lovely lady! On June 21, we honoured Orysia at our June party/Board installation during the evening with a toast to her lovely spirit “ON BUTTERFLY WINGS”. Rest In Peace, Orysia!

So glad we have Covid in the rear view mirror, but looking back, it is remarkable what we learned during that time. Virtual song production, Zoom, Jamulus, applying for grants, FM channel singing – we feel like we had success with a lot of new things.

Our chorus has finally been meeting in person for the past few months. It is so good to be back together. We do still distance and wear masks during rehearsals and stick to a very tight schedule as we are limited in our facility to sing for 50 minutes only re air circulation restrictions!
