Red Bear Singers

The Red Bear Singers started singing together in circle at Toronto Council Fire in 2018. This was done as a way to continue the personal healing journeys of each individual member in a group setting. The group wrote their first song in 2018, titled “Away Back”. This song honours the children taken from their families and placed into foster care, orphanages, day schools, and Residential Schools. Since then, the group has worked on learning several community songs, including the three songs which can be heard on the Soundways App. The App is a part of the Toronto Transit Commission and the City of Toronto’s Year of Public Art, A More Beautiful Journey landmark XR audio installation.
