Canada Cares

Bryan Feland and Dave Perry
Jessica Benoit, Wayne Anonichuck, Jessica Palmer, Marie Perry and John Perry.
Canada Cares was written on the Thanksgiving weekend in 1988 when Bryan came to our home with a song idea to thank Canadian troops for what they do.
His inspiration came from the overseas entertainment tours he participated on.
We sat down, collaborated, and Bryan, Dave, and Marie wrote Canada Cares.
It was not until the Yellow Ribbon Support Our Troops rallies during the Gulf War that our song gained recognition. Marie took the cassette tape to the rally being held in Oshawa and handed it over to CHOO Radio and stood back to watch. It became clear that they were listening and a few minutes later they played Canada Cares over the loud speakers of the CHOO van.
Later that evening, Dave and Marie received a phone call from CHOO asking permission to play Canada Cares over the air! Of course they said yes and then contacted Bryan to let him know. We sang Canada Cares at all the rallies held in what is now the GTA, made the news every time, and were proud to be able to sing at the big welcome home rally in Toronto at Nathan Phillips Square.
The pictures below were taken at the Civic Auditorium in Oshawa for the local welcome home ceremony. The war was over and we were finally able to say yes to our son’s request to sing with us, after all, his Grampa served in WW II.

The Scott Street band rehearsed on Scott Street in Whitby and were together from approximately 1980 – 1985. They played mostly in the Durham Region and Toronto area at places such as the Auto Pub in the Holiday Inn, The Georgian, The Red Barn, Whitby House, The Stone House, and at many high school dances including proms. The “Streets” also played at the Hawaiian Pavilion during Fiesta Week.
