![]() The Friends of Leith Church invite you to participate in the maintenance and restoration of this historic 'Auld Kirk' by attending the many events and concerts planned for this year. We have purposely retained our traditional low-ticket prices in order to build an audience for The Leith Summer Festival, which continues to feature some of the finest artists performing today in Canada. From CEILIDH to CHRISTMAS we present a menu of services, performances and activities that will provide a wonderful introduction to the outstanding acoustics and beauty of our heritage church and its surroundings.
Friday July 12 [ 6:00 pm] - The Auburn Cord Duesenberg club is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and maintaining specimens of these three fine automobiles. The Duesenbergs were built in Indianapolis, Indiana and the term "It's a duesy!" comes from this high quality car.
