Congratulations to our CEO, Margaret McGuffin, for being named one of the Top 100 Lobbyists of 2026 by @TheHillTimes. This could not be a more well-deserved recognition. Margaret advocates tirelessly on behalf of publishers, copyright protections, and the entire music industry.

The Women in the Studio National Accelerator 2025 is supported by @FACTORCanada and the Government of Canada, @OntarioCreates, and @RBC. MPC would also like to thank @Cassels and @CompassRoseGr.

This program is intended for producers who are already producing for others, have mid- to high-level proficiency in a DAW (digital audio workstation) such as Ableton, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, or similar programs, and have songwriting and co-writing experience.

We need real innovation - not exploitation. When AI is trained on stolen creative works, everyone loses. Instead of culture, art, writing, and music, all we'll be left with is static and silence. #StealingIsntInnovation

Happy New Year from the team at Music Publishers Canada! We would like to thank all of our members, partners, and friends for your support in 2025. We are looking forward to new adventures with you in 2026. Happy New Year from Margaret, Kim, Miya, and Laura!

Earlier this week we were honoured by @unisonfund for 76 years of making the views of music publishers working in Canada heard. We were thrilled to receive this recognition by this important organization. Congrats on 10 years of Shmoozefest & the decades of critical work you do!

It was such a pleasure talking with the "Business of Music" class at TMU last week. We spoke about music publishing, what MPC does and had a wonderful panel of our members to talk directly about the great work they do. Thank you to course instructor Evelyn Cream for having us.

Our member delegation with music supervisors at the SuperVISION event as part of @mformontreal / @mundialmontreal yesterday. We've been having great conversations all week at the conference in Montreal and the SuperVISION event is always a highlight for our whole delegation.

Thank you also to Adam Barbolet, Canada’s Trade Commissioner Service, @FACTORCanada and the Government of Canada for their support of CREATE Amsterdam at ADE.

Thank you to Ambassador Hugh Adsett for hosting us during our CREATE Amsterdam trade mission. Our Canadian music publishers and their partners from the Netherlands discussed how Canadian songs travel around the world.
