Why We Started
Music on the River was born during Steph’s initial cancer diagnosis and treatment, at a time when music, community, and connection became more meaningful than ever.
​
What began as a small concert series grew into something much bigger, with our community coming together last summer to help raise over $20,000 for Rethink Breast Cancer. This year, we’re bringing Music on the River back for a second time in support of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation at Princess Margaret, the place where Steph received her treatment.
​
Throughout that journey, our family was carried by the love and support of friends, neighbours, and community members. This event is our way of giving something meaningful back.
​
At its heart, Music on the River is about hope, resilience, and community care. It is a reminder that nobody should face cancer alone.
