About: Reg Jones spent much of his life sharing his joy and gift of music with others. When he moved from Ontario to settle in Manitoba. Later in his life, he had a dream, which was to create a venue through which he could share his music with others. It was from this dream that Westman Jams was born. Reg rented the local community hall and invited people to come and jam with him. At that first jam about a dozen musicians showed up. Westman Jams now has a membership of some two hundred musicians, volunteers and followers. Reg would credit others for its growth but without Reg Jones there never would have been a Westman Jams. There are countless numbers of musicians and aspiring musicians whose lives have been enriched through his vision, drive and hard work.
