Board of Directors – A Short History

In October of 2003, 6 Calgarians came together with the same vision – to increase the awareness of Reggae Music in Western Canada and to provide an avenue where this music can be heard. The Calgary Reggae Festival Society (CRFS) was formed. CRFS is set on a mission to promote local, regional and national awareness of Reggae Music in Canada and will also strive to lobby mainstream media to give the music more airplay.

The 6 Founding Members had a very strong connection to Reggae music and event planning. The experiences of this group were far reaching – from Reggae music DJ's, broadcasters, promoters and musicians to experienced event planners. This team endeavours to educate the general public about the conscious, unifying power of Reggae music.
