Peter Braid, Member of Parliament (Kitchener–Waterloo), on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, today announced support for the preservation and exhibition of the Mennonite Archives of Ontario at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo.
“This will be my last year!” say the 16-year-olds, sadly bemoaning the fact that after this summer they will be too old for Ontario Mennonite Music Camp, held each summer at Conrad Grebel University College, Waterloo.
Teens love this camp, they come year after year to get their fill of singing, playing, acting and collaborating around music. It’s the highlight of the summer for musically minded youth looking for ways to hone their skills and develop new musical expertise.

PARAGUAY PRIMEVAL by Carol Ann Weaver is a musical work featuring stories of Mennonites who fled to Paraguay from Russian and Canada in the 1920s and beyond. This January 2013 Manitoba tour takes this music to some of the very people who were born in Paraguay but have moved back to Canada. It is the hope that their stories will be thus celebrated.
