In some ways, the jam session at the Moncton Dart Club is like many others — with guitars, pianos and classics everyone knows.

“It’s healing and it’s freedom and it makes me want to cry,” said Ocean Starratt, who took part in the New Brunswick jam session.
“It’s a miracle. It makes me want to bawl my eyes out because I feel right at home.”
