We’re committed to every child, every year.
Linamar for the Performing Arts is a program for children in grades 1 through 8.
Now in its 23rd season, this program is dedicated to building wisdom and understanding of life’s broadness and diversity through exposure to the performing arts. Every year, we have the opportunity to welcome students to River Run Centre to experience professional performances of music, dance, theatre and more. Thanks to the ongoing support of Linamar Corporation, Ontario Arts Council and the Department of Canadian Heritage, the program sees an attendance of 32,000 to 34,000 children each year and we are able to offer this program admission free so that every child has the opportunity to attend.
