2006 ECMAs Hit Charlottetown

From Feb. 23-27, the 2006 East Coast Music Awards (ECMA) and Conference will be held in Charlottetown, PE.

Over 400 artists will take the stage to perform in showcases, a concert series, the Songwriters’ Circle, the Yamaha 72-Hour Jam and the Soundwaves school program. The Industry Awards Brunch will see over 2,000 representatives in the industry attend and the Gala Awards Show will be broadcast live on CBC Television on February 27, at 8 p.m.

Funding for the event is possible by companies and organizations of PEI. The Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) will contribute $250,000 through the Business Development Program. The Canada/PEI Labour Market Development Agreement, co-managed by Service Canada and the Provincial Department of Development and Technology will provide $154,251. The province of PEI will contribute $100,000 and the city of Charlottetown will provide $50,000.

“The ECMAs are now one of the largest cultural events in Atlantic Canada and are expected to bring in economic benefits of $3-5 million in the island,” said Campbell Webster, PEI ECMA 2006 Even Committee Chair. “All levels of government have been tremendously supportive of this year’s event in Charlottetown. ECMA simply wouldn’t be possible without such generous and ongoing support. Together we’re building a vibrant East Coast Music industry.”
