The AFM has been promoting and protecting professional musicians for over 110 years. Local 518 has been serving Kingston Ontario and area musicians since 1920 and continues to be an effective advocate for musicians’ rights in the workplace (be that a nightclub, theatre, a symphony stage, in a recording studio, or on tour). The AFM and Local 518 protect the recorded works musicians produce from being exploited, and protect our members live performances by providing several types of benefit programs that help them to build successful careers.Members of Local 518 of the AFM are secure in knowing that their organization is actively lobbying to promote legislation and public awareness that protects musicians’ interests, negotiating collective bargaining agreements with the recording industry, motion picture industry, jingle industry, TV networks, theatre, National Public TV and Radio, and providing excellent wages and working conditions for its members.
Catchment includes Hastings, Prince Edward, Lennox, Addington, Frontenac, Peterborough, Northumberland, Victoria, Haliburton and that portion of Durham County that lies east of Highway 35 and Gananoque in Leeds County.
