River City Sound
River City Sound Inc. is a Canadian nonprofit charitable organization registered under Business Number 815677422RR0001. As a mixed-gender a cappella chorus, it performs four-part harmony music and operates under the Barbershop Harmony Society’s Land O’ Lakes District. Founded prior to 1948, the group emphasizes vocal development, community engagement, and competitive participation.
Activities and Programs
The chorus prepares two major annual performances, typically held in April/May and December, and participates in division and district-level competitions. Members also perform at community events and private functions. Educational initiatives include the Learn To Sing (Better) program, offering free introductory sessions to a cappella singing, and skill-building workshops supported by external choral coaches.
Affiliation and Partnerships
River City Sound collaborates with the Barbershop Harmony Society and receives coaching from its regional network. It supports three local charities—Habitat for Humanity, Welcome Place, and Candace House—and partners nationally with Sing Canada Harmony, a charity promoting a cappella music education. Grants from the Winnipeg Foundation and the Foundation for Choral Music in Manitoba have funded equipment upgrades, including risers for performances.
Governance and Purpose
Designated under the category "Arts/Music," the organization focuses on advancing choral arts and fostering community through music. It provides administrative and vocal training opportunities for members while promoting inclusivity in harmony singing. Rehearsals occur weekly at St. Andrew’s United Church in Winnipeg, though specific rehearsal details are excluded here per guidelines.

Portage Residential School – 50th Anniversary and Reunion On Oct. 9th RCS member Gordon Billows attended the 50th Anniversary of the Portage la Prairie Residential School’s Closing (1975) and School Reunion. The 300 plus attendees, mostly from northern Indigenous communities, included some members of Gordon’s 1970 Residential School Glee Club that sang at Expo ’70 in Osaka, Japan. For the Reunion, he gathered 4 former Glee Club members and “family” to sing “Land of the Silver Birch”, with drumming and chanting. Their interpretation was “An indigenous family paddling back to their community, back to their culture”. (fb)
