By FYI Staff

The Randolph College for the Performing Arts (RCPA) will inaugurate its second location for post-secondary education this spring and it will be named in honour of legendary pianist, composer and music scribe Bill King.


The Bill King Centre will be located within the Daniels Corp. Artworks Condominium in the heart of Toronto’s Regent Park district.

The Regent Park district is an “important cultural destination as well as an ‘arts district' from which the next generation of great artists and performers will emerge, said Mitchell Cohen, President and CEO of The Daniels Corporation, which is to house the new 10,000 square foot cultural centre that will host studios, an event space, lounge and library.

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.
