MUSIC CITIES – ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY & MUSIC RECOVERY

Supporting the business of music is essential so our industry can get back to doing what they do best: creating exponential economic, social and cultural impact for artists, communities and tourism.

With the support of the Province of Ontario, the Canadian Live Music Association (CLMA) and Music Canada are working to bridge the gap to bring the music sector out of the pandemic, and to create an effective route for economic recovery for towns and cities across the province. Panelists with expertise from a cross section of the music sector will explore initiatives and recommendations during this panel.
