An event to bring people together and raise funds for Syrian refugees will give you the chance to meet and connect with people from around the world. 

Dr. Bill Hanlon says Building Bridges is a fundraiser for the three Syrian refugee families who have moved to Cochrane and are settling into a new life here.

Hanlon says the concert is comprised of great music, poetry and storytelling.

Hanlon says "It's a chance to bring people together to share some beautiful talent from Syrian refugees, people from Iran, from Russia, from Canada and different parts of the world to join together to share a common interest"

The event is on November 16th at 7PM at the Cochrane Alliance Church. 

Tickets are $15 at the door or you can purchase them for $13 on Eventbrite.

The money raised from the event will go towards local Syrian refugee families.
