The Blue Bridge Festival creates numerous opportunities for people to get involved in their community through music and poetry. There are many exciting activities for all involved. We host a camp enabling youth to experience a wide range of music. Camp life enables them to rediscover the joys of music and gives them a chance to learn from professional musicians. The Blue Bridge Festival also hosts Jonathon’s Storm, an event that allows children and their parents to experience an original opera. The show has been a wonderful success. It is a great opportunity for children and their parents to bond and enjoy music. The Blue Bridge Festival is a wonderful community building process, bringing together both local amateurs and professionals. Folk singers, classical musicians, jazz musicians, and poets all come together to create the music you love. Help us build our community through music!

The Temiskaming Foundation was formed in 1994 in New Liskeard, Ontario. A group of businessmen learned how small communities in the United States were prospering through the work of their own community foundations. They reasoned that if other communities could benefit through the work of their community foundations why not start one in the Tri-Town. A local foundation would allow Tri Town residents to donate to the community with the assurance that funds would be directed where they were most needed. By 2002 there were 33 funds with a total amount exceeding $1,000,000. In 2001 these same funds provided over $42,000 to be given out in grants within the community. Established funds range from those that benefit many graduating high school students, the elderly, local arts and culture activities, New Liskeard Public School, the Temiskaming Music Festival, Temiskaming Art Gallery, local museums. Undesignated funds benefit worthy causes across many sectors of the community.
