Having $10,000 worth of instruments donated to our school will change the culture.

I feel completely blessed to be selected by MusicCounts for this remarkable award that recognizes music education across the country. I am truly honoured and share this with all the music teachers who are making a difference.

We are so grateful to MusiCounts and TD for giving these children the opportunity to learn music that they otherwise would not have had.

In 2000, Steve Sainas from Terry Fox Secondary School in BC developed a largely self-funded project, the Rock School and Recording Arts Program that welcomed at-risk youth, the severely learning disabled, the physically disabled and the gifted. The program was so successful that students began transferring to Terry Fox Secondary in order to participate.

MusiCounts provided The Legacy Children’s Foundation  with musical instruments in 2014. The LCF works with schools across the city to identify youth that are at risk of drugs, gang activity, or dropping out for various reasons.
