won a radio contest to perform with Shania Twain

In 1999, Lavigne won a radio contest to perform with Canadian singer Shania Twain at the Corel Centre in Ottawa, before an audience of 20,000 people. Twain and Lavigne sang Twain’s song, ” What Made You Say That “, and Lavigne told Twain that she aspired to be “a famous singer”. During a performance with the Lennox Community Theatre, Lavigne was spotted by local folksinger Stephen Medd. He invited her to contribute vocals on his song, “Touch the Sky”, for his 1999 album, Quinte Spirit . She later sang on “Temple of Life” and “Two Rivers” for his follow-up album, My Window to You , in 2000.
