Music By the Lake

Music by the Lake Update

March 3, 2020

In January, we announced that Music by the Lake (MBTL) would be moving to a new location and planning has been underway for the past several months. Unfortunately, we have reached a critical point in the planning process for 2020 and must make the decision that Music by the Lake will not take place this school year due to the uncertainty of ongoing labour sanctions.

With the current labour sanctions in place, we are unable to complete the significant planning required to run a successful camp which requires the recruitment of a large number of teaching staff. Even if labour sanctions were lifted in the near future, we are now at a point where there is not enough time to plan and run a successful program in May-June. This was a difficult decision to make and we know that this is disappointing news for families and students.

Camp Timberlane has been selected as the new location for Music by the Lake. We look forward to having Music by the Lake at its new location in upcoming years.

If you are interested in music summer camp opportunities, you are encouraged to explore the variety of TDSB Summer Music Camps available to students this summer, including Toronto Summer Music Camp, Summer Sounds and Downtown Summer Strings. Visit the TDSB Summer Music Camp website for more information.

We look forward to seeing you at Music by the Lake in 2021 at Camp Timberlane!
