2020 "Shining Star Award"
To mark the 25th Anniversary of Coal Bowl in 2006, the Coal Bowl Board of Directors established a Wall of Recognition to honour those who, over the years, had made an outstanding contribution to the New Waterford Coal Bowl Classic.
Coal Bowl 2020 marks the 38th year of this outstanding, one of a kind, national event. The New Waterford Coal Bowl Classic Board of Directors is very proud to announce that the 2020 recipient of the “Shining Star Award” is Jacqueline Poirier.
Coal Bowl 2020 InstaChoir
On February 3, 2020, all 150 players, 150 music students from Breton Education Centre, 100 students from Greenfield Elementary, and the world-famous Men of the Deeps choir, came together to open the tournament in a way they never have, by attempting their own version of Leon Dubinsky's song We Rise Again, for our InstaChoir!
The event was designed to celebrate Coal Bowl, to highlight the value of teamwork and coming together for a cause, the way miners from our little mining town did for decades working underground, and the way our athletes must do on the courts, on the ice and on the fields.
New Waterford has always had a love of sports and music. This event highlights both, and with the help of Breton Education Centre music teachers Richard Burke and Stephen Muise, the entire theatre learned to sing the song in under 15 minutes and recorded it for YouTube.
Dedicated to the memory of the late Jacqueline Poirier.
