8 Track Mind is a Fredericton based 9-piece band playing the best in pop, rock and R&B dance music from the 70s and 80s, all the way up to today. With an extensive song list including hits by Chicago, Stevie Wonder, Lighthouse, Pink, Dave Matthews, the Eurythmics, Earth Wind & Fire, Peter Gabriel, Bruno Mars and many more, you're in for a great time. This dynamic band is fronted by the energetic vocal team of Sherri Chenard and guitarist Dan Doucet, who are powered by a wicked 3-piece horn section consisting of Adam Johnson on trumpet, TC (Tom) Richards on sax and Glen Clarke on trombone, while drummer Wayne Blanchard, bassist John Rosengren, keyboardist Eddie Oldfield and guitarist Jim Stith keep the grooves moving with tasty rhythmic punch.

Rose Arsenault was born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick. She enjoyed a 20-year career as a television personality and Communications Officer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Fredericton.  A memorable and often repeated television segment featured Rose as an on-air tour guide of sorts, showcasing some of New Brunswick's "must-see" attractions.  Richard Faulkner of Baymount Outdoor Adventures starred in one of the episodes!

Since 2001, Rose has been employed by the Government of New Brunswick in the Department of Tourism:  initially in Travel Trade Sales while managing the TradeSmart program; then Industry Relations and Professional Development such as the Innovation and Leadership Series which many of you are graduates of, and currently as Project Executive:  Media and Public Relations.  Rose also had the pleasure of doing some television on-air work for the Department, including a series on New Brunswick's parks and top attractions.

She is often asked to serve as emcee locally and nationally -- including prestigious events such as the Tourism Industry Association of Canada's National Tourism Awards for more than six years running.  And now she in honoured to add TIANB's Annual Conference 2015 to her list!

TIAC is responsible for representing tourism interests at the national level, and its advocacy work involves promoting and supporting policies, programs and activities that will benefit the sector's growth and development.

As tourism is one of the world's fastest-growing sectors, it is strategically important for Canada to generate export revenues that provide new dollars to the Canadian economy.
