Fundraising Initiatives
Canterbury Music Council, in partnership with Canterbury Music Parents works hard throughout the year to fundraise to support the needs of the program. With each fundraiser, a portion of all proceeds is reserved in a separate fund for the student to use towards trips, music clothing or events (recitals/socials) that are sanctioned by the Music department. Currently, 75% of monies raised goes toward the student accounts and 25% goes to the Music Parent Council to support the Music Department in various ways. Students must "spend" the funds in their personal account before the end of their grade 12 year. Any funds remaining are re-directed back into the general music fund for the good of the entire program.
Here is a list of fundraising activities:
