A popular performer in the Comox Valley, Elliott dazzled the sold-out audience at his 2023 Christmas show at the Sid Williams Theatre. He has also performed at the Comox Valley Exhibition and Nautical Days in Comox. When he鈥檚 not in the Comox Valley, Elliott travels full-time鈥攑erforming throughout Canada, the US and Mexico.
Elliott caught the eye of the Legendary Vancouver DJ Red Robinson and was hired to perform at the Vancouver PNE 2007 marking the 50th anniversary of when Elvis Presley himself performed in 1957.
In 2010, the original Empire Stadium was resurrected to host the BC Lions, and Elliott was invited by Robinson to perform a special half-time show for more than 25,000 fans.
The Salvation Army is an integral part of the Comox Valley, providing practical assistance for children and families, often tending to the basic necessities of life. It provides shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation for people who have lost control of their lives to an addiction.
The international organization began its work in Canada in 1882 and is currently in 400 communities throughout the country. Clothing and food are also provided to vulnerable citizens of our community. To help the Salvation Army continue its services in the community, this concert is part of the church鈥檚 fundraising series, 鈥淐oncerts for a Common Good,鈥� which started in 2023. St. George鈥檚 raises funds through a variety of events during the year to benefit local non-profits.
In 2023, the church donated more than $40,000 to community groups, including Habitat for Humanity, LUSH, the Comox Valley Food Bank, the Coldest Night of the Year, the Comox Valley Child Development Association, the Transition Society, CYMC, and many others.
