Shania Twain

Big plans for a Shania Twain tourist attraction cost taxpayers millions and left them wondering who was responsible.

When The Shania Twain Centre was built, the singer it paid tribute to was still on top of the music world. After all, the year after the Centre was opened, Twain released "Up!" That said, since the Centre operated at a $1 million deficit, it seems unlikely that Twain being in the public eye more would have made it successful enough to stay open. In the years that followed The Shania Twain Centre's opening Twain gave it even more things to attract her fans. On top of that, Twain doesn't owe touring more or releasing more albums to anyone or any business, including the Centre. Right off the bat, the first thing to realize is that The Shania Twain Centre ultimately didn't cost the city of Timmins $11 million. On top of that, it was estimated that The Shania Twain Centre "racked up more than $1 million in operating deficits" during the years it was open. Goldcorp ultimately tore The Shania Twain Centre down to use the land as a part of their plans for "a massive open-pit gold mine". Unsurprisingly, Twain wasn't the one who came up with the plans for the Centre herself, and she didn't personally convince Timmins to make the project a reality. Next, Twain loaned the Centre many artifacts that the attraction was built around including awards, memorabilia, and personal items before it opened. After that first event, The Shania Twain Centre held annual fan conventions and was open to guests until it permanently closed in 2013. Long before Shania Twain became a legitimate legend, she was born in Windsor, Ontario with the name Eileen Regina Edwards.

I wanna cheer myself up, I wanna cheer others up and just get some pep in our step…just this feeling of feeling giddy.” Twain has long been an ally of the LGBTQ+ community, and recently spoke with Anthony Allen Ramos of GLAAD (a media advocacy organization, with its acronym standing for Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) in an interview that posted on Thursday (February 23). “First of all, it takes a lot of courage. We need drag queens to share their talent with us.” Twain recently shared that she often finds herself inspired by others’ flawless looks, particularly gushing over the ones perfected by drag queens.
