Warm up those vocal cords (or fingers) and show off your Canadian spirit. We are in search of incredible WRDSB talent to help us kick-off a variety of events on the “right note” – and we want you to be the star.
We are looking for performances of O Canada that will be played during our public board meetings and other special occasions throughout the school year. If you are a student, staff member, or part of the WRDSB family, we want YOU to showcase your talent and let your diverse Canadian spirit drive your creativity. We might even ask you to attend the meeting or event and perform in person.

If you’re part of a band, a choir, a trio, a duo, or a soloist, then this is for you!
