Treasa Levasseur

Treasa embodies values of community, connection, and creativity in everything she does.

“Treasa’s name is synonymous with community. When she puts her creative heart into a project, around her grows a fellowship of artists, students, and dreamers, inspired by her effusive joy, thoughtful curation, and intentional programming. Thank you, Treasa, for manifesting safe and special communities for new generations of creatives to thrive in. You exude the spirit of Estelle in your honest and innovative leadership style, and we are very excited to celebrate your contributions to the folk community with the inaugural Estelle Klein Community Builder Award.”

Treasa Levasseur is a busy creative who wears many hats with enthusiasm. She is a JUNO-nominated songwriter, a seasoned side person, and has self-released 4 albums throughout her career as a front person.

These days she is finding fresh inspiration in her work as a community music facilitator, program administrator, and arts educator, as well as being an in-demand emcee and pop-up choir leader.

Treasa helmed the Developing Artist Program at Folk Music Ontario for six years and recently completed a six-year stint at Folk Alliance International. Elle est une fierte Franco-Ontarienne and a proud Hamiltonian.

She believes strongly in the power of personal expression as an agent of positive change.
