It is Orange Shirt Day to honour the Residential School survivors and the children who were lost. Here is a thread on what you and your family can do today to make reconciliation a reality! Start reading the TRC Calls to Action and pick some to work on.
Happy Juneteenth!
Juneteenth celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S., or more specifically, when enslaved people in Texas were finally informed of the Emancipation Proclamation that was passed two & a half years earlier. Spend time listening today!

Thanks to everyone's continued efforts, MB’s plan for Phase Two of service restoration starts Monday, June 1. I want to remind everyone that this easing of restrictions is not a return to normal. Keep 2m/6 ft apart to #StaySafe and always #StayHome when you are sick. #Covid19MB
Was organizing & found this beautiful video from 2017.
For those who know the mural but not the story, our Senior Choir chose the song first & designed the mural around it.
Grateful for my students, past and present. 💕

How STUNNING is this?! Just jaw-dropping. Phenomenal work from all involved! Can’t wait for OUR TURN with the @stayathomechoir! Sign up at the website to be involved!
People have often remarked that a lot of my choral writing is inspired by the idiom of the musical theatre, and I would absolutely put my hand up to that one. I think sacred music has always been nourished by music from the secular realm. JR
Struggling with your music theory? Check out this video that current Grade 12s Melissa & Mikaela made when they were grade 10s!
It offers a brief intro to notes & rests, and reminds you that friends don't let friends clap on beats 1 & 3!
