Prime Minister of Canada 4 - CAMT 44th Conference – St. John’s, NL – 2018 A MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF TOURISM, CULTURE, INDUSTRY AND INNOVATION On behalf of the Provincial Government, I am pleased to welcome you to Newfoundland and Labrador to attend the Canadian Association of Music Therapists annual conference. Music is a universal language that connects us all, regardless of age, race or ability. All of us have benefited from music as a learning tool. In fact, many of history's brightest minds have made reference to the therapeutic powers of music. Music therapy is a growing interdisciplinary field that recognizes the value of music — its structures, physicality, emotional associations and cognitive utility — as a way of helping client's improve physical, mental and emotional health. Music reaches people in different ways than other forms of therapy. I wish you every success with your conference. Using the tools of music therapy is making a real and meaningful difference in people’s lives. I commend you on your excellent work. Sincerely, The Honourable Christopher Mitchelmore Minister of Tourism, Culture, Industry and Innovation A MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER On behalf of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, I am pleased to welcome you to our beautiful province and the 2018 National Conference for the Canadian Association of Music Therapists. Over the next three days, more than 100 music therapists from across the country will come together to participate in a wide variety of workshops, hear from colleagues and gain new insights about the many different aspects of professional music therapy. You are making a difference in helping to provide the positive benefits of the healing process through music while also promoting the importance of mental, emotional and physical health and well-being. I hope you enjoy your stay in St. John’s and wish you much success at this year’s conference. Sincerely, Hon. Dwight Ball Premier CAMT 44th Conference – St. John’s, NL – 2018 - 5 A MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER OF TOURISM, CULTURE, INDUSTRY AND INNOVATION On behalf of the Provincial Government, I am pleased to welcome you to Newfoundland and Labrador to attend the Canadian Association of Music Therapists annual conference.
