We’re thrilled to unveil a brand-new chapter in our summer tradition at CNIB Lake Joe: Lake Joe Live – a reimagined experience, building on the beloved legacy of “Cookout with Cuddy.”
This one-of-a-kind event combines the magic of live music with the mission of building a more inclusive world — and we couldn’t be more excited to kick it off with an unforgettable, exclusive acoustic performance by Canadian rock icons The Trews.
From “Not Ready to Go” to “Highway of Heroes,” “Tired of Waiting,” and “Poor Ol’ Broken Hearted Me,” The Trews have shaped the Canadian rock scene and earned a place in the hearts of fans nationwide. Their powerful, personal sound is the perfect fit for a night that’s all about connection, celebration, and community.
Your Impact Starts Here:
At CNIB Lake Joe, we believe every child deserves the chance to play, explore, and grow — no matter their level of vision. As Canada’s only fully accessible camp for kids of all ages who are blind, Deafblind, or with vision loss, your support helps us remove barriers and create lifelong memories for campers and their families.
Every ticket purchased and every sponsorship commitment helps us:
- Subsidize camp fees for families facing financial barriers
- Invest in adaptive sports, recreation, and skill-building programs
- Expand access to essential leadership and independence training for campers of all ages
As always, we’re proud to continue partnering with incredible Canadian talent in support of our mission — using the power of music to shine a light on inclusion, possibility, and the incredible potential within our community.
