UNITY - When it was announced that the Unity Kin Club was hosting a Gord Bamford concert Oct. 1, tickets sold out in a matter of a few days. This was evidence that people were longing for a return to live performances and something to look forward to.

However, changes announced by the Saskatchewan Government on Sept. 16, were part of what played a role in temporarily postponing this event. A continual rise in COVID-19 cases in the province was also a determining factor in this decision.

The Unity Kin Club put up a post on their Facebook page early Friday afternoon stating, “Please be patient as we work to reschedule the Gord Bamford concert. Ticket holders will have the option to roll their ticket over to the new date once it is selected. Thank you for your co-operation. Details to follow shortly.”

Unity’s Kin Club president, Amanda Whyte, says, “Kin Club of Unity, together with the Gord Bamford Foundation, after careful consideration, and in light of the ongoing (COVID-19) restrictions and increase in numbers, we are changing the concert date In to April, 9, 2022.

“Rescheduling the event will enable us to provide guests with the experience that you expect and deserve in a safe environment as we will continue to monitor the provincial government updates.”

Whyte also adds that current ticket purchases on Showpass will be automatically applied to this new concert date. If purchasers require a refund, then they have until 5 p.m. MST, Sept. 20 to do this, using the red “request refund” button, and it will be issued within 48 hours, however this may depend on your financial institution.

While this postponement was disappointing to those who quickly scooped up the tickets for this event, the Kin Club assures everyone they worked closely with the promoters and the Town of Unity to reschedule this event, so they appreciate everyone’s understanding and support.

The Kin Club in Unity has been recognized by Kin Canada and District 3 Kin Clubs for their commitment to continuing to “serve the community’s greatest need."
