WHAT'S NEW
Summer Sizzle 2020 Postponement
It is with regret that Northern Lights Canadian National Conservatory of Music, in conjunction with the local organizing committee, has decided that Summer Sizzle 2020 in Biggar will be postponed due to public health concerns linked to the
COVID-19 pandemic. The event will instead be scheduled for July 12 and 13, 2021 in Biggar, Saskatchewan.
While it is disappointing to have to make this decision, in doing so we have considered the health and safety of all those who come together to plan, participate in, and otherwise enjoy the unique experience of Summer Sizzle. As well, it is our responsibility to support society’s efforts to tackle this global health challenge.
We would like to thank the many prospective participants – composers, teachers, students, families – for your understanding
of the unique challenges we are facing at this time. If you have already registered for the event, you will be hearing from us in
the coming days regarding refunds.
Thanks, and stay well everyone. See you in Biggar in 2021!

2020 Spring Practical Examination Announcement
Hope you are well as we travel these uncharted waters of Covid-19.
As you can appreciate, we are having to make changes to how we conduct our business. CNCM has been conducting online examinations for many years now, servicing remote communities, smaller centres and special needs situations. We have been extremely successful with these sessions with protocol and format already well organized so that CNCM examinations are user friendly and stress free.
CNCM is moving ALL spring examinations to our online format to ensure that children are able to meet their musical goals and have a continuous and purposeful plan of study. CNCM wishes to share a message of calm and normalcy with our teachers and students; while it may not be quite “business as usual”, with our planned accommodations students will continue to have opportunities for success, which will be ‘music to our ears’.
The following list may assist with process – please share with your families to create a positive experience for all:
CNCM acknowledges that live performances are always our first choice, but meeting goals is equally important and online exams make this possible.

The following list may assist with process – please share with your families to create a positive experience for all:
- Audiences may need to be restricted for performance examinations. This number will be based on provincial and national guidelines, as well as availability of space to accommodate physical distancing.
- Centres may be set-up within teachers' studios – once again based on provincial and national Covid-19 guidelines. CNCM administration will work with teachers to determine the best plan for location of examinations.
- CNCM will supply both teachers and students with appropriate protocol.
- CNCM will offer flexible sessions/centres keeping physical contact to a minimum based on provincial and national
Covid-19 guidelines.
