Programs. Founded in 1934, the Ontario Chapter of the Canadian Band Association is dedicated to supporting and promoting concert band music in Ontario, Canada. We work to expand the horizons of all community based music groups.. Included in our mandate is to also support the many jazz, stage, big bands and orchstras that reside in Ontario. We help host several workshops and concerts each year.
