Imagine spending a magical evening surrounded by twinkling stars, enjoying a fun-filled carnivallike atmosphere, and watching an amazing feature film with your loved ones. That’s exactly what you’ll experience at our inaugural Under The Stars event! But it’s not just an ordinary movie night. It’s a night that makes a real difference in the lives of children and youth with disabilities.

On September 22, 2023, we’re bringing the community together for an outdoor movie event in support of TVCC and their vital services. We’ve chosen the perfect location, the London International Airport, to create an atmosphere that’s truly out of this world. With activities for the whole family and a carnival-like theme, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

But we’re not just here for the fun and games. We’re here to make a real impact in the lives of children and youth with disabilities. That’s why we’re partnering with TVCC to help these kids participate anywhere they are. 

Montréal based, Cameroonian-born soul singer, Clerel channels his varied musical influences into simple, soulful songs delivered heart to heart.

A natural-born vocalist, soul singer & songwriter Clerel nurtured his taste for melody in his coastal hometown of Douala, Cameroon, where he grew up listening to music from his parents’ record collection, which ranged from church hymns and afrobeat to French chanson.

As a child, he developed a habit of singing his favorite songs to himself as a way to “listen” to them whenever he desired, an exercise that helped hone his signature smooth tone.

While he’s spent most of 2020 working on a new collection of songs, Clerel has also appeared on reality TV show La Voix (The Voice Canada), and earlier this summer he took part in the Montreal International Jazz Festival, where he gave a highly acclaimed performance of his original music in front of an audience of over 3000 spectators. Listeners around the world continue to fall in love with the young musician’s soulful universe.
