— means the filing doesn't include the lines needed; details and sources below.·How to read these figures
This filing's expense lines don't reconcile: program spending (line 5000) plus overhead (5010 + 5020) adds up to more than total spending (4950). Cents-to-cause and overhead can't both be right, and the filing doesn't say which — so this charity is left out of ranked search results for this filing year. We show both figures exactly as filed; read them together with this in mind, or check the public record ↗.

If funding is available for 2025-26 with the Ontario Seniors Community grant we will contact these locations again. Initiatives We produced a short promotional video for Musical Musings and this is posted on our WSP website on the Musical Musings page. We applied for the Toronto Fringe Festival but were not chosen in the lottery. Government Funding We applied for funding to the Federal New Horizons for Seniors grant (NHSP) for a new Musical Revue (With a Song in My Heart) plus a free Community Choir in partnership with South Riverdale Community Health Centre (SRCHC). Our thanks to the Government of Ontario for funding our Musical Musings concerts project in 2023-24. These popular sing-a-long concerts are well-received in each location and we are always asked to return when funding is available. Other We met the legal requirements for filing T4As and T3010 reports on time.

Volunteers and Associated Artists Our on-going thanks to the stalwart volunteers who keep WSP projects moving along by offering countless volunteer hours.
