We know that having musicians and choirs at Bender House calms anxious minds. Huron Hospice staff, volunteers and families thank Cathy Elliott and Ray Chartrand of the Huron East Seaforth Trust for their donation to support the Huron Hospice music program. For a second year, the Trust has funded the Music Cares program. With this funding, Huron Hospice pay for the services of music therapist, Dana Prouse. Dana plays guitar and sings at the bedside. She also coordinates the schedules of many musicians, so the house is often filled with wonderful music.
The Huron Hospice music program is gold seal certified by the Room 217 Foundation.

Thank you to the Huron East Seaforth Trust.

The Waterloo Concert Band is hosting an accessible concert April 12

Tutti: All Together Now, on Sunday, April 12th, 2026 at 2:00 PM at Knox Presbyterian Church (50 Erb St W, Waterloo).

This performance is designed to be welcoming for members of the disability community, including autistic individuals, people with ADHD, people in the Blind, D/deaf, and Deafblind communities, people with developmental disabilities, people living with dementia, and anyone who may benefit from a more relaxed concert environment (including young children!).

Audience members are welcome to respond to the music however they feel comfortable, and they may move around the concert space or step out if needed. Large-print programs will also be available. After the concert, we will host a “Musical Zoo,” where audience members can meet the musicians and see the instruments up close.

This concert is also a fundraiser for the Canadian Music Therapy Fund!

You can follow The Waterloo Concert Band on Facebook and Instagram for more information.

I have a template available if anyone would like to send a letter to Lisa Thompson or Sylvia Jones or your local MPP!

Music therapists across Canada are raising their voices.

We’re calling on provincial governments to formally recognize Certified Music Therapists (MTAs) as healthcare professionals by adding them to the Canada Revenue Agency’s Authorized Medical Practitioners list.

Why does this matter?

Because recognition means clients and families could claim music therapy as a medical expense, improving access to care.

Join us as we advocate for change.

Follow along and

With appreciation to the Canadian Association of Music Therapists for their ongoing national advocacy and leadership in advancing recognition for Certified Music Therapists across Canada
