Home of the Barrie Kiwanis Music Festival and Youth Talent Search Competition, Barrie, the Barrie Music Festival Association is comprised of a group of interested volunteers who dedicate their efforts to promoting performance opportunities for young musicians. We believe that Music Festivals provide a unique experience for competitors. Preparing for performances over several months, and then actually performing in public, teach competitors skills that will last a lifetime. And our young musicians not only get the chance to hear each other's performances, but they also receive adjudications and workshops from some of Canada's top musicians. Whether or not they continue into careers in the performing arts, for most competitors this will be the first step in what will become a lifelong support of the arts in their communities. The Barrie Music Festival Association is grateful for donations in any amount. Please help us keep the music alive! Thank you.

Theatre New Brunswick began in 1969 with the aim of bringing professional theatre to a province where virtually no professional theatre existed. In those early years much of the focus was, out of necessity, on importing talent on stage and off. Along the way we developed work by New Brunswickers and raised up New Brunswick talent. Eventually, TNB’s presence throughout the province led to a new generation of theatre artists and audiences. These artists and audiences wanted to find a place for themselves and their stories on our stages. In recent years the vision has shifted from simply exposing New Brunswickers to great theatre to celebrating our own stories and talent.
