Our executive committee has had six meetings this year to date, including two meetings with the
Board of Directors attending. Four meetings were held over the Zoom platform online due to
Covid

Our Chapter has officially changed our name to the “Ontario Chapter of AHS.”
Our website domain
name, email address and related information has all been updated.
We also have recently
received our new charter from our
parent organization, the American Harp Society.
Thank you
everyone who has supported the motion and we sincerely hope that the name change will
encourage more participation from harpists and friends of the harp from all over Ontario in the
future.

We had one major event this year.
The Harp Therapy Workshop was led by Certified Therapeutic
Harp Practitioner Martha Lawrance on November 10, 2019 at 4 pm at Tyndale University College
and Seminary.
It was an illuminating workshop and attracted many to
attend, both harpists and
non

harpists alike.

M
asterclass on April 19th and Angela
Schwarzkorf’s Music Audition Program which was scheduled in May.
