OrKidstra

Time to recharge our rhythm! Our OrKidstra office will be closed for one week from March16-20, and our programming is taking a break for two weeks from March 10 - 20!

When we give, we gain. 💜 This International Women’s Day, OrKidstra celebrates the power of generosity because when we share our time, voices, knowledge, and support, we help girls and women thrive. #IWD2026 #GiveToGain #OrKidstra #GenderEquality

🎶 Music connects us, inspires us, and reminds us that we’re stronger together and we’re so grateful to have TD supporting OrKidstra on this journey! 💚 #TDReadyCommitment Photos by Greg Allison @td_canada
