This is an honour given to outstanding festival leaders who have committed themselves to the Music Festival movement in Canada. By their service to the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals and the National Music Festival, they have enriched the lives of countless young musicians.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals worthy of this honour are recommended to Federation members by the Executive of the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals, and are ratified by the delegates at the Annual General meeting. Their names are forever listed annually in the Digest.<\/p>\n<p>Dianne Johnstone began her involvement in the festival movement in 1987 with the Provost Music Festival. She sat on the Alberta Music Festival Board for many years and through her involvement with Alberta she became involved with the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals. It was at this time her passion grew even more for the Festival Movement in Canada and the young musicians of Canada! In 2002 she was asked to raise funds to host the National Music Festival in Lloydminster and thus began her position as Fundraiser for the National Music Festival. Over the years 2002 \u2013 2016 she brought in over a $1,000,000. She cherished, most of all, getting to know many of the young musicians, working with donors and the friendships she built over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Dianne began as Fundraiser at a time when FCMF was transitioning from corporate sponsorship and needing to find a new model of support. Her work and commitment helped shape FCMF into the organization it is today. As Dianne retires, we say a huge \u201cThank you!\u201d and wish her well in the next stage of life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Posted November 2016<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-24-0-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell panel-grid-cell-empty\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symphonie Nouveau-Brunswick et la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne des festivals de musique signent un protocole d&#8217;entente &nbsp; La F\u00e9d\u00e9ration canadienne des festivals de musique [FCFM] est heureuse d&#8217;annoncer qu&#8217;elle a sign\u00e9 un protocole d&#8217;entente avec Symphonie Nouveau-Brunswick [SNB].\u00a0 Cette entente pr\u00e9voit une &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/nouvelles\/\" aria-label=\"Nouvelles\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-fullwidth.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-24","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/24\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fcmf.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
