In March 2019, the Board of Directors adopted a new 3-year Strategic Plan for Choir Alberta.

As most of you will have already experienced, Alberta is home to a rich and vibrant choral community. According to the 2017 Census of Choral Activity in Canada, more than 340,000 choristers sing in 2,900 choirs across the province. It is Choir Alberta’s role to support and strengthen these choirs through a series of projects, programs, and resources designed to educate and inspire.
 
In recent years, the organization has observed a number of significant changes to our province’s choral landscape. These changes include the erosion of choral programs within Edmonton schools, the development of new choirs with strong therapeutic mandates, the strengthening of the province’s professional choirs, and the creation of recreational choir experiences. It is in the context of these and a variety of other changes the 2019-2022 Strategic Plan has been developed.
 
The 2022-2023 season marks the 50th Anniversary of Choir Alberta. This plan, in part, serves to prepare the organization for a unique and celebratory 50th year while, at the same time, ensuring relevant programming for our members and a mindfulness with respect to organizational sustainability.

As part of the strategic planning process, the organization has updated its vision, mission, core values and position statements. After considerable discussion, and with significant guidance from our consultant, we feel strongly that these changes strongly represent the current identity of Choir Alberta.
 
This plan places Choir Alberta on an exciting trajectory with the potential to positively impact the province’s choral community in a variety of new and exciting ways. I invite you to peruse it, to share it with choral practitioners and enthusiasts, and to consider becoming involved with the organization. On behalf of the Board of Directors, we look forward to continuing our work with our province’s diverse and dynamic choral community, and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to bring this plan to life.
