We’re excited to welcome new voices to Unison’s Board of Directors, and congratulate Sarah Kilpatrick on stepping into the Chair role, with Spencer Mussellam moving into Vice Chair.

We're proud to introduce four new directors to the Board, each bringing meaningful experience and strong ties to Canada's music community:

• Patrick Guay, evenko
• Ali Slaight, Slaight Music
• Iain Taylor, Cadence Music Group
• Philip Vanden Brande, annexe média

We want to thank our outgoing Chair, Brian Huston, who helped guide Unison through a period of significant growth and change. His generosity and commitment to the wellbeing of music workers has left a lasting mark on our community.

We also want to thank outgoing directors Derrick Ross and Steve Kane. Derrick’s thoughtful leadership and dedication, and Steve’s expertise and contributions, have both had an incredible impact on the organization we are today.

We’re also grateful to our returning Board members for their continued guidance. Together, this team will help strengthen support for the people behind Canada's music. Join us in welcoming them to the Unison community!

Awareness is growing in our industry, but fear of judgement is still getting in the way.

72% of music professionals say ongoing stigma and fear of losing work continue to prevent people from seeking mental health support, despite having more open conversations in the industry.

You shouldn't have to choose between your well-being and your career. Unison’s support is free, confidential, and ready when you are.
