Canadian Military Wives Choirs are all women choirs which aim to support military women through vocal music and camaraderie. Members are closely associated with the military, either by marriage, partnership or by occupation, and there is a strong emphasis on friendship and fun. The choir meets weekly, there areno auditions and no musical experience is required.
Our goal is to establish choirs on every military base across Canada. The nomadic life of the military family means that it can be difficult to put down roots, make friends, and integrate into the new community with each move. The Canadian Military Wives Choirs are creative, fun-filled ways for women to support each other through difficult times and to celebrate successes and good times – all while singing!
Canadian Military Wives Choirs began in the fall of 2013, with the first choir setting up in Ottawa, Ontario.
It followed the global success of the Military Wives Choirs movement started in the UK. Since then choirs have sprung to life inseven provincesacross the country. Today we are delighted to havefifteen choirsof400+ womenand can’t wait to add more.
The choirs are all about support - both vocal and personal, requiring no singing experience or auditions, it is amazing how much we can accomplish and sound marvellous along the way!
We are a Volunteer led and run organization, both at local and national levels. We volunteer as military wives to support military wives.
We appreciate donations no matter the size. Proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards the purchase of music and sound equipment needed for us to continue our support of our local community.
