Kristy Fletcher On Supporting Canadian Music 'From Birth to Myth' at CARAS and MusiCounts: Interview

Amidst a record $1.4 million donation to support music education in Canadian schools, the president of MusiCounts and chief operating officer of CARAS will accept the Impact Award at Billboard Canada Women In Music 2026.

In her dual role as the president of MusiCounts and the chief operating officer of CARAS, the organization behind the Juno Awards and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Kristy Fletcher influences every stage of a Canadian musician's career.

Through music education charity MusiCounts, she's there at the beginning, providing access to instruments and musical education to give youth a chance to make music in the first place. At CARAS, she's able to foster and develop the industry and recognize artists at the Juno Awards. That continues all the way until the later stages of their career, when they become Hall of Famers.
