Music is more than entertainment—it’s a powerful tool for connection, healing, and care. Across long-term care homes, hospitals, youth centres, schools, and hospices, caregivers across Canada are using music to nurture social belonging, strengthen relationships, and provide truly person-centred care.

Join us for this free webinar on Wednesday, November 5, from 12 to 1 p.m. ET, and discover how simple, everyday music practices can create meaningful moments of care. You’ll hear real-world stories through case studies of music care in action across various caring communities.

This session will also introduce a new course developed in collaboration with MUSIC CARE by Room 217: The Fundamentals of Music Care: Theory and Context.
