In March 2001 the Conduct Becoming: Voices Against Cancer organization, comprised entirely of volunteers, released their first professional quality album on the campus of Mount Allison University in Sackville New Brunswick. The album was intended to be a way of showcasing the quality and diversity of the Mount Allison student music scene. The CD featured pop, hard and soft rock, folk, blues, alternative, swing, celtic and much more. All of the tracks were entirely original and written and performed by student musicians. The album was a huge success on campus and quickly developed a fan base eager for more top quality tracks from their peers.
The organization has now
released an album every year since on the Mount Allison University campus.
The albums are sold locally, by mail order, and online. Thousands of albums
have been sold already.
In 2004 the project’s board of directors, comprised of the founders and
project volunteer coordinators, determined that the project would be successful
on campuses across the country. Plans are being developed to assist in
starting projects at Universities across Canada and already many Canadian
universities have started projects of their own.
Conduct Becoming has been
the focus of local regional and national media coverage including CBC’s
“The National”, Global Television, Eastlink Television, CBC Radio, MacLean’s
Magazine and newspapers across the country.
Conduct Becoming is a not-for-profit corporation established in 2000. The
group is governed by a board of directors and is not controlled by, or
represented by Mount Allison
University, The
Canadian Cancer Society or any other institution.
