Let’s keep building
In London, we’re building a strong music culture. And we’re also building houses for hardworking families. How can we do both? All funds raised at Jeans ‘n Classics concerts goes towards Habitat for Humanity, which builds homes for qualifying low income families in Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin and Perth counties.
So we say, let’s keep building.
The Jeans ‘n Classics band is Canada’s only rock symphony, and it’s made-up of world-class talent. They are certainly building a stronger music culture. At concerts, you can expect to have a fun night out while listening to incredible music that you know, and love. Did we mention how talented these musicians are?

So London is building a strong music culture. And with that, houses are being built for families in our community. Habitat home are sold at a zero-interest mortgage rate and allows families to put in “sweat-equity” as their down payment with 500 hours of volunteer work.
Both of these things – a strong music culture and new houses for hardworking families – are still a work in progress. So let’s keep building, shall we? Join us next week for The Music of ABBA on April 25th at the London Convention Centre and you’ll be contributing to both.
