Canadian folk legend and Juno award winner, Ian Tamblyn, will be returning to Willisville Mountain for a concert in Whitefish Falls on April 15, 2011.
It has been a busy time for Tamblyn who was named the Canadian English Songwriter of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. He continues to tour from coast to coast, as he has for the past 40 years, while finding time to record 31 albums, write six plays and music scores.
Tamblyn’s ’ Willisville Mountain’ album came as a result of his involvement in the Willisville Mountain Project and the La Cloche Mountain Preservation Society’s campaign to ‘Save Willisville Mountain’. The LCMPS and Village of Willisville have petitioned Vale to exclude Willisville Mountain and area from their license to quarry. They hope to preserve the beautiful and historically significant Willisville Mountain for generations to come.
Advance tickets for $15 each are now on sale at Turners of Little Current, Wheeler’s Variety and The Red Dog Grill in Whitefish Falls and The Natural Choice in the Espanola Mall.Doors open at the Whitefish Falls Community Center on Friday, April 15 at 7:30 p.m. for an 8:00 p.m. concert. If the concert is not sold out tickets will be available at the door for $20. Tickets may also be ordered at willisvillemountain@gmail.com.
Dedicated to the protection of the the natural beauty of Willisville Mountain and the La Cloche Mountains.'As the current Lawson Quarry will meet VALE's needs for the next 80 years, a period of time longer than the life of the company's current estimated ore reserves in the Sudbury Basin, we request areas B,C and D from the aggregate license #20568 be surrendered by VALE so there will be no future mining or quarry operations.'
- This motion was presented to VALE and the MNR at the June 2 public information meeting by the Sudbury Condominium Corporation #5, the governing body of the Village of Willisville, and supported by the La Cloche Mountains Preservation Society.
On April 15, 2011 Vale surrendered areas B, C and D from Aggregate License #20568.
It is a historic day for Canada and Vale must be sincerely congratulated for its decision.
