National Music Centre recognizes the profound mental and physical benefits music can have on our wellbeing. That’s why we’ve partnered with JB Music Therapy to bring the healing power of music to people in care settings and hospitals since 2018.

We started at one hospital in Calgary, and now our programs are being delivered in 14 locations across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, with over 400 patients, families, and care teams supported each week.

As we celebrate our 10-year anniversary in 2026, we’re already thinking about the next 10 years. By 2036, our goal is to have music therapy program locations in all provinces and territories across Canada.

With your support, we can do that!

This #MusicTherapy Week, help us grow NMC’s Music Therapy Initiative. Your gift goes twice as far thanks to the Jim Pattison Foundation. Every donation will be matched, doubling your impact.
