FROM THE LEADERSHIP Leadership
The last year for all of us has been one of
tremendous challenge, change and reflection.
This has also been the case for Room 217, but
alongside the challenges have come some
tremendous opportunities and accomplishments.
The Room 217 Foundation is proud of
successfully pivoting and even thriving in some
respects during such a difficult climate, which has
frankly been the demise of many charitable
organizations during the pandemic. This time has
allowed the space for critical work to move us to a
new evolution of the organization, involving the
development of our new certification model and
truly moving into a digitized world, allowing us to
scale musiccare.
Partnerships have also been a key highlight for
Room 217 this year, where we have been able to
help other organizations pivot and bring music
care programs and learning online in a
meaningful way through the pandemic.
No matter We are excited to continue on this new journey
and realize the dream of bringing Room 217's
what life throws world class programs and training to Canadians in
more sustainable and relevant ways. In doing so,
we continue our mission of ensuring they will

experience.

“I've been looking for a way to make an impact with
my love of music and violin playing -- this was exactly
what I was looking for! (I also have an interest in
dementia-related topics since my Grandpa has
Alzheimer's and this was the perfect social initiative
for me!) Room 217 really inspired a vision in me. I
