In its obituary, CBC identifies Jones McVeigh "a driving force behind the creation of the enduring, community-oriented annual musical gathering that's withstood location changes and financial challenges to become one of the longest-running folk festivals in North America.. Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan are among the scores of artists who attended the festival since its founding in 1961 and graced its stages."
