The Huron Carole is recognized as Canadian’s first and only real Christmas carol. Incorporating a haunting melody of a sixteenth century French folk song and text written by Saint John de Brébeuf, a missionary to the Huron people, it has been a part of Canadian history since 1643.
It also happens to be my very favourite Christmas carol, and so I was thrilled when I heard that The Huron Carole starring Tom Jackson, a musical event supporting feeding Canada’s hungry, was coming to Regina and Saskatoon this year! The show will be in Saskatoon on December 7, 2012 at the Prairieland Park and in the Queen City on December 9, 2012 at the Connexus Arts Centre and with special guests Sarah Slean, Matt Dusk and Susan Aglukark, it is one of the must-see shows of the holidays!
