Partnering with the City of Toronto on theMusic Strategy Support an environment friendly to music creators
Humber could partner with TMAC to create professional education programs that the industry needs; these could be anything from full time post-secondary programs, to Continuing Education courses for working professionals, to one-off workshops or info sessions

research and data collection needed for the creation of new Bylaws and Regulations, Business Networking, Business Education and Seminars, or the creation of a Music Hub, Humber resources in Music Business, Arts Administration & Cultural Management, Research, and Media Studies could help realize these goals
