Music Care Conference, Waterloo, Ontario
The first of its kind in Canada, this one day conference will bring together a cross section of community caregivers to provide information and inspiration on the difference the effective therapeutic use of music can make in our quality of life and well-being. The capacity to care is the thing that gives life its deepest meaning and significance and music touches every part of us: our bodies, emotions, minds, relationships and souls. The Music Care Conference is an opportunity to transform the way we care for one another in our neighborhoods.
