About the CBA Chapters

.

The CBA is a Canada-wide organization with both a National Office and many Provincial level associations.

.

The CBA-Ontario is one of the provincial associations within the CBA.

.

Ontario is a unique province in that it has two different band associations: CBA-Ontario and the OBA (Ontario Band Association). The CBA-Ontario focusses on community, professional and military bands. The Ontario Band Association is focussed on music in the schools and music teachers. This division of responsibilities allows each association to focus more on the organizations that it supports. The CBA-Ontario and the Ontario Band Association maintain close ties.
