Tuesday Johnson-MacDonald, CMP, CMM—President of TAP Resources, an Indigenous-owned event management, site selection, and consulting firm. Tuesday is a proud member of the Wolf Clan, Mohawk Nation, from Six Nations of the Grand River, grounded in the teachings of the Great Tree of Peace. With over a decade of leadership in the events industry, Tuesday and her team have worked alongside Indigenous organizations across Canada, delivering trusted planning, consultation and site selection services at local, regional, and national levels. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Destination Toronto, where she brings valuable Indigenous insight to the tourism and hospitality sectors. In our conversation, Tuesday shared meaningful ways the events industry can respectfully include Indigenous voices. She emphasized the importance of delivering Land Acknowledgements with true intention— researching and understanding their meaning, not just reciting them. These acknowledgements are more than formality; they are a connection to place, people, and story. She also discussed the significance of authentic Indigenous ceremonies to welcome guests to the land—bringing spirit, respect, and cultural grounding to events when led appropriately by knowledge keepers.

This year, the Peel Children's Aid Society Trailblazer program was the beneficiary of the Awesome Music Project's Annual Golf Tournament. Proceeds from the event supported the Awesome Music Hour, an initiative of the Awesome Music Project.

Mary Beth Moellenkamp, CEO of Peel CAS, stopped by the Northern Echos Podcast activation to discuss the power of music in supporting youth through challenging times and the positive impact this partnership brings to the organization.

For Rob Carli, music isn’t just a career—it’s a lifelong passion. A celebrated composer and performer, Rob has spent decades creating music that moves people, earning multiple Gemini and Canadian Screen Awards along the way. He’s best known for composing the score for 15 seasons of Murdoch Mysteries.

Rob has always been fascinated by the science of music—how rhythm, melody, and harmony can shape emotions, heal the mind, and improve well-being. His deep passion for both music and mental health led him to co-found The Awesome Music Project, where he explores how music can be a powerful tool for connection and healing.
