We are excited to share the first artist announcement for the inaugural Make Happy Tummies™ Gala, taking place on January 30, 2027.
Jim Cuddy, one of Canada’s most celebrated singer-songwriters and a founding member of Blue Rodeo, will take the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable evening celebrating Canadian music, Canadian talent, and the collective impact of Canada’s grocery industry. He is being presented by the Empire Ltd. family of brands.
With more than 3,000 grocery retailers, manufacturers and industry leaders expected to attend, the Make Happy Tummies™ Gala will bring our industry together for a Night of Impact in support of student nutrition programs across Canada.
AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
Jim Cuddy is the first of four incredible Canadian artists we’ll reveal as we build toward January 30.
More artist announcements are coming in the weeks ahead.
