Looking Back on 2019 at Canada Life Place!
As another year ends, we reflect on the fantastic year we’ve had at Canada Life Place from many sold-out shows to hosting the most significant event the building has ever had! We are so proud of all the accomplishments we’ve had over the past year, and we’re glad we got to celebrate this year with all of our patrons, partners and staff.
Tequila Tequila Tequila!
Mix it in a margarita or give it to us straight, who would say no to tequila? We’re celebrating the London Tequila Expo presented by FM96 happening this weekend with a margarita and a quick history lesson. Turns out, there’s a ton of stuff we didn’t know about Mexico’s fave drink!
#BGReviewer: Jersey Boys
When I discovered that the Jersey Boys musical would be returning to the Start.ca Performance Stage for Broadway In London at Canada Life Place I knew I wasn’t going to miss it. Saturday night’s performance was not my first time seeing the highly acclaimed show about the life of Frankie Valli and the members of the Four Seasons.
#BGReviewer: Arkells
While some say Arkells have ‘skyrocketed’ to Canadian fame, that’s not the case. They’ve earned their way as demonstrated last night at Canada Life Place.
The crowd was abuzz as Arkells fans stormed the arena in their best leather jackets and rainbow tassels. A sense of community permeated the venue as Londoners came out to collectively enjoy their favourite band.
#BGReviewer: Dean Brody and Dallas Smith
Last night, Canadian country music talent was on full display at Canada Life Place! Dean Brody, Dallas Smith, MacKenzie Porter, and Chad Brownlee, along with The Reklaws, proved that “Friends Don’t Let Friends Tour Alone”, and the audience was treated to an incredible show. Walking up to the venue, in a mass of plaid shirts and cowboy boots, there was a buzz in the air that only amplified once inside Budweiser Gardens.
#BGReviewer: Cheech and Chong
Nostalgia was in the air, both literally and figuratively. Walking up to the venue, I was greeted by a throng of Cheech & Chong fans, the majority of which were partaking in some cannabis accoutrements. The anticipation was high for this legendary America-Canadian stoner comedy duo.
Adoptable Pet of the Month
In January 2019 Canada Life Place partnered with the Humane Society of London and Middlesex to launch an Adoptable Pet of the Month program. The program features one adoptable pet each month on our social media channels with information on how to adopt the featured pet.
The program was built to work with our local humane society in helping with the awareness of adoptable pets while also gathering great content for the venue's social media channels and allowing for a stress break at work for staff members. The pet of the month will usually visit the office to get their photo taken in/around the venue, then its playtime for the staff! The program has been a huge success thus far with all of our featured pets finding a FURever home.
