The Choirs that Participated at Unison

Many queer choirs across Canada get together every four years to sing for each other. It's not a competition, it's a fun and lovable filled time of music, laughter and tears. So I'm including the names of the choirs and where they're from. For fun I'll also include when they first started their choirs.

1980s
1981 Vancouver Men's Chorus
1986 choeur Gai d'Ottawa Gay Men's Chorus

1990s

Another fun thing I'll include her it's where each unison festival has been held and what year. The official name of Unison has changed over time, so I hope there isn't any confusion.
