Our main purpose is to create a support network for women in the military community through singing! The Canadian Military Wives Choirs Comox is an organization which celebrated our inaugural meeting on January 8th, 2015. Expanding upon the Military Wives Choir movement which originated in the UK, the Comox choir is the second of itβs kind in Canada, and joins more than 80 choirs worldwide in supp
orting military spouses through music, creativity and friendship. The all-female choir is composed of at least sixty percent wives, common-law partners or fiancΓ©es of serving military members, but also accepts other women who are closely associated with the military. It is run by a committee of volunteers, and is available to sing at special events such as Remembrance Day ceremonies, Canada Day celebrations and other patriotic or military related events. The Choir Musical Director, Wendy Nixon Stothart, is well known in the Comox Valley as a strong supporter of choral music.
