Events > Molson Canadian Nova Scotia Music Week 2009

Molson Canadian Nova Scotia Music Week in Yarmouth was a huge success. Thank you to our host committee in Yarmouth, the South West Shore Development Authority, for their determination, dedication, and unyielding support. Their belief in our cause and the “get it done” attitude among the people in Yarmouth made our festival and conference a true celebration of music. Thank you to the hundreds of delegates, volunteers, the drivers, the venues, the Rodd Grand Yarmouth, our conference speakers, Music Ally and friends, our sponsors and funding agencies, the Atlantic Film Festival Association, the media, and our staff and Board of Directors for contributing to the event in the most positive way. And most importantly, thank you to our members for coming to music week, for participating in the conference, for playing your guts out on stage, and putting yourselves out there to network with delegates and make big things happen right here at home. We are looking forward to next year and will share the news with you of our host community for 2010 soon.
