Minister of Education, Hon. Rev. Ronald Thwaites says the country is on track to achieve the target of 100 per cent literacy at the primary level by 2015.
He pointed out that while the nation's girls are leading towards this goal, the boys are lagging behind.
He informed that 12 other literacy specialist have also been assigned to 48 secondary schools to provide support in the teaching of English Language at Grades 7 to 9.
The Minister made the revelation during his contribution to the 2014/15 Sectoral Debate in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, May 7.
To this end, he said several interventions have been designed to improve literacy, including the deployment of 90 reading coaches at Grades 1 to 3 in 450 primary schools.
"Between August 2013 and April 2014 approximately 1,500 teachers across the system benefitted from training by the team of reading coaches or specialists," he said.
Rev. Thwaites said the Ministry also engaged more than 1,300 parents in seminars designed to equip them with skills to enable them to better assist in the literacy/language development of their children.
In the meantime, he said the Ministry has this year allocated an additional $390 million to expand the mathematics programme, and is targeting an 85 per cent proficiency in numeracy at Grade 4 by 2018.
He informed that at Grade 11, the Ministry is setting a target of 85 per cent of the age cohort to sit the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations in mathematics by 2017.
"We are far off track to meet the national target of 85 per cent proficiency at Grade 4 by 2015," he said, adding that the Ministry restructured the National Mathematics Programme to make the mathematics success of every student a non-negotiable priority.
He informed that in September of this year, the Ministry will deploy 146 Mathematics coaches to primary and secondary schools. They will be charged with raising teaching standards and student achievement in the subject.
In addition, he said teachers in targeted schools will be given access to an online training programme, designed to strengthen their content knowledge.
Rev. Thwaites said the implementation of the mathematics programme also includes the training and sensitisation of principals and heads of departments by the National College for Educational Leadership. The training will focus on teachers taking responsibility for ensuring student achievement in this subject at their schools.
"At great expense, the Ministry of Education is upgrading its teachers. The outcomes should be commensurate with the investment. The quality of teaching and learning in these two core subjects must be improved," he said.


I have a problem my connection between two computers - a Mac OS 9.2 and a Mac OS 10.4.
I am connected via ethernet and all of my TCP/IP connections are fine. My OS 10 hard drives are successfully mounted on my OS 9 desktop after log-in.
"Owner's Power Mac G5 (IP address) via TCP/IP"
The file server's connection has unexpectedly closed down.
The file will actually show up on the OS 10 hard drive but the file size is never more than about 15 mb (where the actual size is a lot bigger).
I don't think there is a problem with my sharing information for all of my hard drives because they are open for everyone to read and write.
Thanks for any ideas anyone may have.
There was a known issue where a security update in 10.4.9 broke AFP file sharing compatibility with OS 8 and 9.
It might have been fixed in 10.4.10, but I can't say it's something I've tested.
I got it working. I appreciate the help.
I don't know what benefit Apple saw by doing this. On the one hand, OS 9.2 is dead and buried for most...but still some people also use Windows 2000, which is also a 7-year-old OS.
The change looks like they are tightening up the amount of time that it will wait, so this probably speeds up AFP some. The fact that it does not work is probably a combination of Apple not testing MacOS 9 anymore, and finally letting engineering make some changes they have been prohibited from doing for a while.
It's still there in 10.4.10!
I just purchased a new Xserver and encountered this exact problem.
I called Apple and they said there was no known fix. Then the guy said to replace the AppleServer file in CoreServices with an older version from 10.3.
I did that and now I can't get my Xserver to come back up.
I guess I will be reinstalling the server software and following the directions I found here.
Replacing components of your OS with older versions is not likely to ever work. I would be really surprised if that is what Apple support said. But... if you look at that article you will see the fix. There really is not anything more to it than that.
It worked just like above.

It's estimated that wild rabbits cause well in excess of £50millon in damage to agricultural crops in the UK every year. Indeed some estimates put the figure closer to £100 million and at times there is no choice but to control them either through exclusion or extermination techniques.
Rabbit populations can also fall victim to disease. The best known of these is myxomatosis, which is carried from rabbit to rabbit by fleas. In severe cases the rabbits become blind, lose weight and suffer a slow death, although there is evidence that populations are developing a level of immunity to this disease, which was introduced to the population by man in the 1950s.
Less well known is the virus VHD, which is transmitted by contact and can also be airborne. This causes blood to be visible from the rabbit's orifices, and the creatures normally die within 48 hours. Because the rabbit is a community animal, diseases can spread quickly and swift action can be necessary simply on animal welfare grounds.
Rabbit proof fencing has an important role to play, but must be erected by someone experienced in doing so and who knows what makes an effective rabbit fence, and what makes an ineffective one. There are a number of options in terms of trapping, which one of our pest controllers can advise you on. Call now for a free consultation.

Trump budget could mean fatally cold winters for some of America's poor
Alan Pyke Deputy Economic Policy Editor, Think Progress
Last winter, you helped six million American households — all of them poor and most of them home to a senior citizen, young child, or disabled adult — keep the heat on through the winter.
You didn't do it on purpose. The government did it for you, through a program American lawmakers created in 1980 in hopes that no one in the world's richest country would have to choose between buying groceries and avoiding hypothermia.
Since the dawn of the Reagan era, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has subsidized the utility bills of tens of millions of Americans through hoary northern winters and blistering southern summers.
That nearly four-decade legacy would end forever under President Donald Trump's first budget proposal. The plan's broader fiscal irresponsibility is clear — it hands wealthy people hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks while paring back or outright canceling scores of public services and investments in the nation's future — but its true cruelty is easier to spot down in the details.
Trump's budget deems LIHEAP "a lower-impact program…unable to demonstrate strong performance outcomes" and calls for its extinction. Yet the small chunks of cash LIHEAP doles out to eligible families change the way people live — and keep some alive who would otherwise have died.
"Look at what happened before LIHEAP. People used kerosene heaters. People left their stoves on. And people died," said Mark Wolfe, head of the National Energy Assistance Director's Association. "We created LIHEAP to stop that."
Trump's choice to cancel the program won't make a splash in deficit terms. Helping those 6 million households last year cost taxpayers just $3.3 billion—less than one one-thousandth of total federal spending, and down dramatically from $5.1 billion in 2009 thanks to years of budget cuts.
But it will make life harder for millions, especially in states like Minnesota and Maine where drafty old houses battle unusually long and harsh winters.
"We hear stories regularly of people who are closing off parts of their home, not heating them at all, and just staying in a room or two because that's all they can afford to heat," said Deborah Turcotte, spokeswoman for the Maine State Housing Authority, which administers the federally-funded utility support program in the state. "Heat has a tendency to escape older homes, and Maine's housing stock is considered among the oldest in the country."
"We hear stories regularly of people who are closing off parts of their home, not heating them at all and just staying in a room or two because that's all they can afford to heat."
In Minnesota, too, the bulk of LIHEAP recipients live far from the urban core of the Twin Cities area. Heating costs are about one-quarter higher in those rural areas on up toward the Canadian border, state Department of Commerce spokeswoman Julia Miller said.
About 111,000 households have gotten an average of $500 in LIHEAP aid so far this winter there. Last year the program helped about 340,000 Minnesotans, including 29,401 children under age six and 46,877 elderly people — two populations at particular risk for hypothermia.
"I don't know what those individuals would do" if the program disappeared, said Miller. "It's an essential safety net to protect vulnerable Minnesotans from losing heat in the coldest months of the year. $500 is a considerable amount of money for vulnerable people."
Miller might not want to guess, but it's not hard to forecast what people would do if they lost the money they need to keep their home warm enough.
"People are going to die. How can you take this much money away from this group and not think some will die?"
"People are going to die. Someone will say 'Oh that's extremist,' but how can you take this much money away from this group of people and not think people will die?" NEADA's Wolfe said. "If you take away assistance from very poor families, some of them will have their heat shut off. Some will turn their heat down to unsafe levels. And some of them will die."
While it seems like spring came early on much of the eastern seaboard, it's still mid-winter in Maine. With some weeks still to go, Turcotte said, the state has already helped 63,989 people with their heating oil bills this winter. The average household receiving aid there survives on a total income of just $12,801 a year, she said.
If Trump kills LIHEAP for good, "people would have to look for other ways to heat their homes. Or, unfortunately, there may be some who can only keep part of their home warm," said Turcotte. Charity already plays a role in supporting low-income Mainers through the winters, in church aid funds and TV telethons. But it's hard to believe even the most generous hearts could conjure the roughly $20 million Turcotte's agency has spent so far this winter through LIHEAP.
Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Jack Reed (D-RI) formally asked the White House to increase funding to LIHEAP last month, after significant cuts over the various budget compromises of the Obama era.
Collins did not respond to a request for comment on Trump's decision to not only ignore her request but target the program for elimination. Neither did Sens. Todd Young (R-IN) or Ron Johnson (R-WI), two other cold-state Republicans who may find themselves trapped between their party's leader and their constituents' survival.
If anyone is to stop Trump's plan to end LIHEAP, Wolfe said, it will come down to people like those three. Lawmakers whose voters are more directly impacted will have to educate their colleagues who might scoff at the idea that ending the program means letting people die needlessly.
"You've got a population that's got very little money, not able to work because of their age or their health, and this is the way we keep them in their apartments and keep them safe," said Wolfe.
"If you withdraw that, some of them will die. But that doesn't seem too important to them at the moment," he said.
"He doesn't know anybody like that. They don't belong to Trump's club."

Discussion in 'Article Discussion' started by Gareth Halfacree, 11 Feb 2015.
Do you know the what the patch number is Gareth ? currently I have 12 updates waiting to be installed by windows update. I only install 2 every other day though, so it's easier to track down which updates have caused what problems.
Sorry, I should have included that in the article. The Jasbug patch (which, as far as I know, is safe to install) is KB300473; the faulty and now-removed Visual Studio patch is KB3001652. Both codes now added to the article, ta for the prod!
Cheers, I'll install that one first as it sounds pretty major.
It seems Microsoft have re-released KB3001652.
Windows update showed it for me on Tuesday, then it vanished on Wednesday, and now it's back again.
I'm guessing the Jasbug update is only for 32 bit windows, I just got round to starting the updates and KB300473 wasn't listed.


Our aim is to nurture creative ways of thinking by supporting and challenging students in a positive visually exciting environment. We enjoy the relationships we have with our students. We provide a stable, organised environment with clear boundaries.
We introduce students to a wide range of artists, craftspeople and designers from across history and from diverse cultures; we encourage our students to make links between their own and others' practice.
What skills will you learn through the study of art?
Pinterest is a fantastic source of inspiration and The Lakes School Art Department has its own account.
This unit aims to give pupils a thorough grounding in basic Art skills, and an introduction to Art as taught at secondary level.
Pupils will work on the theme of animals, particularly focusing on pattern and similarities to non-Western Art.
Pupils will explore a wide range of techniques and media and will research and document their understanding of how Artists, Designers and Craftspeople have tackled similar subject matter.
All lesson tasks and homework assignments are structured to allow a certain amount of open-endedness.
Students will make considered decisions later as their confidence builds through experience.
This unit aims to build on basic skills learned in the first unit of Year 7. Connections outside of the (fine) art world are made by encouraging pupils to look at buildings locally (as well as internationally).
Working on the theme of self portrait, pupils will explore their use of media, recapping on the basic skills of composition, drawing from observation, colour mixing and handling paint. They will be able to make a response to the portrait work of other artists.
Pupils will find various ways to distort previous work, and will combine this to develop a large scale final piece.
The advantage of choosing an Art Historical theme with such diversity and scope as non-Western Art is in the research objectives. Students begin by making observations of artefacts within the department, from first hand observation during a Museum visit, and secondary sources both in the department and from pupil's own research. Key themes, ideas, patterns and ideas are drawn from this research to produce resolved final pieces.
The homework programme offers opportunities to develop ideas in other, more design oriented directions.


In fact, while I was first introduced to Augmented Reality through the Aurasma App, I never imagined that while walking through a trendy neighborhood in Washington D.C. this past summer, I would come across the first public interactive augmented reality mural dedicated to the life of the actor Paul Robeson. Designed by artist Corey L. Stowers, this mural allows viewers to scan and thus trigger images of his artwork with their mobile devices, accessing historical videos and original content that depict the life of the great athlete, performer, and civil rights activist.
What started out as something that was simply "cool" has become a way to engage learners like never before.
It was at this moment that I realized that Augmented Reality was a way to bring a new dimension to learning. By unlocking the everyday world, one can dig deeper and engage learners in a new and interesting way.
Augmented Reality (AR) content can be accessed by scanning or viewing a trigger image with a mobile device that creates a subsequent action. This action can be a video, another image, 3D Animations, Games, QR code, or whatever you want it to be. For example, take a look at this GIF below to see real AR in action.
How can I start using AR in my classroom?
Using the Aurasma App and Aurasma Studio, you can create your own "Auras" (or AR experiences), and use them to engage students in creative ways. For example, jazz up your school's art show, or make math come alive through videos of students solving math problems--perhaps students can trigger an Aura by pointing their smartphone at a particular equation. You could even attach a trigger image to a Google Form to request time with the school counselor, or make a class picture image on your teacher website trigger a virtual tour of a classroom.
And why exactly should I start doing this? It sounds like a lot of work.
Augmented reality apps connected to content can create mind-blowing learning experiences and endless learning possibilities. These type of learning experiences really speak to the needs of visual learners.
The beauty of Augmented Reality is that the learning experiences can be as easy or as complex as you want. You can create your own, or download the numerous already-made apps connected to various content. But what's even more enticing is that students can easily create these experiences on their own in a matter of minutes.
What are the best AR apps and resources out there?
Popar Toys: This catalog of AR resources changes the way children read books, look at posters, or complete puzzles. (Basically, everything is an animated picture!) Enjoy their interactive books on Planets, Bugs, Dinosaurs, Safari, and Sea Life, or perhaps the interactive charts on Human Anatomy, Periodic Tables, World Maps, The Solar System and US Presidents.
Anatomy 4D (which allows you to view 3-D images of the human body, and heart) and Elements 4D (which enhances a chemistry classroom by bringing the periodic table to life).
Quiver (formerly Colar) App: Quiver has different coloring pages from every subject area. When partnered with the app, the coloring pages come to life and have animated actions. For instance, students can create their own flag, and tie it to science and weather by controlling the wind. Or, check out a world map that shows day and night views of the world when activated with the app.
Chromville: Chromville's science-based coloring pages ignite creativity in children through art, technology, and the eight multiple intelligences. The Chromville Visual App uses its characters to promote storytelling and features a classroom component that has coloring pages explaining the likes of the human body and parts of plant.
Fetch Lunch Rush: This fun PBS kids game app uses printable cards as augmented reality game pieces. In the game, kids help Ruff the Dog feed sushi to a movie crew by solving the math problems. Each game piece is a trigger image that comes to life when scanned.
AugThat: Developed by a former teacher, AugThat creates augmented reality content for classrooms, specifically targeting students that fall through the cracks and aren't engaged. They create animated lessons in a variety of formats, including 360-degree virtual environments and 3-dimensional experiences.
Two Guys and Some iPads: These sought-after keynote speakers and Augmented Reality gurus share various ways to incorporate Augmented Reality into the classroom and give practical examples of simple ways that teachers around the world are using AR.
Augmented Reality is an example of a technology that can make classroom learning more transformational and engaging. What in the past had seemed like fantasy is now a part of our reality. There are practical examples for Augmented Reality being used in classrooms around the world, as the ability to overlay digital content and information onto the real world--using triggers like images and locations--opens up a whole new world of learning opportunities.
Do you want to allow students to interact with 3D models? Bring learning to life? Break down the walls of the classroom? Experiment with an AR app--and see the magic happen.
What other ideas do you have about incorporating Augmented Reality in your classroom?

As far as current rankings and recent form goes that is probably the predictable table... the thing that marks the 6N out from the Rugby Championship (for me anyway) though, is the unpredictability of it.
You only have to look at England's fall from grace... last year they were in much the same boat as Ireland are at this point and then finished 5th (though I can't see Ireland finishing 5th tbh). Great competition, can't wait.

Dunno why, but I think that Ireland, Wales and England may all end up with 4 wins and 1 loss. Ireland to beat England first up, England to beat Wales (urgh, that wasn't nice!), but Wales to beat Ireland on the last weekend. It'll come down to bonus points then, so no idea what the final standings would be!
If Ireland and Wales are unbeaten come the final weekend, I would maybe back Wales at home. History has often proven that a Welsh team on a roll can be a little unstoppable in the 6N. I know this Irish team are a class above any opposition we've faced in our previous championship winning years, but I'd still fancy our chances. I don't think it'll happen though.

Wales are overrated. They're ranked 3rd in the world but that's only because they barely beat a very poor Australian side and an inconsistent South Africa.

1. Ireland
3. Wales
4. Scotland
This England squad im happy with and could do well but i cant see us beating Ireland, we will have to be top of our game if we are to manage it. Then if we manage it we have to be constant throughout the tournement which is another issue for us. So ive optimisticly said England 2nd. But who the hell knows.

Works for me. Brunel's candidate to the spoon. The union are looking at the collapse of their base fan. Bad enough being a distant second best to the LNR. The demographics of the game are stacked against them. What's worse than losing to Fiji? Losing your fans!

The Scottish pack is a concern and will most likely be overpowered against Ireland, England, France and to a degree Wales. Strength in depth also an issue in the event of injuries.

But also they haven't lost a match since losing to Ireland in the 6N.
"Wales are overrated"
Not one person in here has predicted they'll win. Low key, I think they might if we get hit by injuries or bad luck.

Ireland and bad luck, you boys hold all the lucky charms in the world currently.
Ireland to win
England, Wales, France and Scotland in any order.
Italy drowning away at the bottom.

Probably about right. I don't think there will be a GS, but if there is it'll be Ire.
Cliches come about for a reason,. but France are the great engima in all this....
Don't forget that last year Ireland's GS was almost derailed before it got started.
Like us they won 2 and lost 3. The losses were by a combined total of 9 points - Ire by 2, Wal by 1 and Sco by 6. Any of those games could have gone the other way.

Saracens have no fans
Nobody particularly rates Wales and they're where they were surely because the teams above them they beat were overrated.
That said if I had to pick a team likely to beat us this year in 6N it's Wales they're at home and capable of massive performances against anyone even when their form isn't great. England won't be an easy game either. I seriously doubt we'll get a grand slam this year and that's fine.

There is nothing enigmatic about the state of the union here and their 9th ranking. It's been well chartered. They're on their way out of the Top 10 by the look of it.
The FFR have been comprehensively outmanoeuvred and outfoxed in just about every facet of the game by the LNR. Nothing enigmatic about that.
FrenchFan said: ↑
While it may be logical to discount them, the point was that if a couple of balls had bounced differently they could have ended up winning the thing last year. I don't expect them to do that, but they're more than capable of beating anyone on their day. Question is how many days they'll have.
Just another cliche really. The view here is that they got progressively worse as the championship went on. They also finished the competition for 2nd year in row with the lowest try count. They are second division. They scored less tries than Italy and lost to Fiji 6months later. Nothing enigmatic it's a continuation. They carried their non existent form from the 6N into June into November. The only thing propping up the union in the top 10 is WR's absurdely weighted pt system.
In both tournaments they conceded the fewest too.
Can't say I watched them in the Autumn, but SA only beat them by 3 with an injury time winner. The same SA who we only squeaked past us by 1, who took the ABs scalp and should have beaten them twice.
OK they got walloped by the ABs in NZ, but they're scarcely alone there, otherwise looking at the current rankings in the last year they've beaten 4th and had late, narrow losses to 2nd, 3rd and 5th.
I'm not saying the overall picture's healthy or that they're likely winners. But it's clearly within the bounds of possibility that they could have a hand in determining the overall destiny of the championship.
I thought I was a glass half empty merchant . Are you one of the French fans that whistles the team?
True that's Brunel's rugby. Stop the opposition from playing. Defense. Defense. Anti-rugby par excellence. But results don't follow. There's so many games the players who are used to a different game plan are going to put up with that crap. They can see the gulf in coaching standards too.
Are you one of the French fans that whistles the team?
Don't have to. I no longer bother. Nothing to see. The fans that whistle are the ones that don't know the game so you're talking about the Parisians. In Toulouse we don't boo our team but then we've no reason to.

Music Monday @ Home shines a spotlight on the importance of equitable access to music education
Posted May 4, 2020 by Quentin Burgess
Today marks Music Monday, an annual event in which thousands of Canadians come together in song and in support of music education. Hosted by the Coalition for Music Education, Music Monday unites musicians in communities from coast to coast to make a powerful statement about the importance of equitable access to quality music education for all students. This year, the celebration will move online with Music Monday @ Home, allowing all Canadians to participate safely while practicing social distancing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each year on Music Monday, students, educators, and music makers from across the country participate in the collective singing of the Music Monday Anthem, an original song written by a Canadian artist. This year's anthem is "Hymn to Freedom," the iconic civil rights anthem by Oscar Peterson and Hariette Hamilton, in a new bilingual translation. Resources to perform the anthem, including sheet music, lyrics, and translations are available on the Coalition website.
"Music Monday celebrates the power of music, and the importance of music education. Equitable access to music education is important to Music Canada, which is why we have partnered with the Coalition for Music Education, the Canadian Music Educators Association, MusiCounts / CARAS, People For Education, and the Canadian Network Arts and Learning on a national study to assess the state of music education in every province and territory," said Sarah Hashem, Vice President, Strategic Initiatives at Music Canada. "This research will help all stakeholders to better understand the state of K-12 Music Education from region to region, and to provide information to support its future growth and development."
Music Monday @ Home begins at 9am EST, with a series of regional broadcasts, including live performances, messages from prominent Canadians, interactive activities for children of all ages, and more. To join in the celebration and add your voice, tune into the Coalition's YouTube channel and Facebook page.

On Monday, May 6th, The Coalition for Music Education in Canada will celebrate its 15th anniversary of Music Monday with thousands of students, teachers, musicians, music lovers, and parents across the country. This year, Canadian jazz legend Oscar Peterson's 1963 composition "Hymn To Freedom," written during the Civil Rights Movement, will be this year's anthem.
With music by Oscar Peterson and lyrics by Harriette Hamilton, the iconic "Hymn To Freedom" exemplifies a deep desire for respect and equality among all people living in Canada, united as a peaceful nation. The official Music Monday video, featuring a new bilingual arrangement, is available to watch below, while an Oscar Peterson learning resource has also been made available by the Coalition for teachers to review with their students ahead of next Monday's sing-a-long.
The Coalition for Music Education in Canada was established in 1992 to raise awareness and understanding of the role that music education plays in Canadian culture and to promote the benefits that music education brings to young people. Leading up to next week's celebration, the Coalition has also launched a fundraising campaign to support the future of Music Monday and develop new and updated advocacy materials.
Beginning at 12pm EST, Ottawa's National Arts Centre will livestream their celebration on Music Monday's Facebook page, which will include a massed children's choir of over 350 youth from 10 local schools under the direction of Jackie Hawley, who will lead the sing-along of "Hymn To Freedom."
Register your school or community organization's music program today, and join the thousands of Canadians from coast-to-coast next Monday in singing #TogetherInHarmony.

Strumbellas drummer Jeremy Drury delights students in hometown with surprise instrument donation
Posted November 23, 2018 by Ramlah Ismail
On November 6, 2018, we were thrilled to hold the first presentation of musical instruments collected through The Three Rs Music Program with students at Central Senior Public School in Lindsay, Ontario. Our first donation event was a special one for the students, who were surprised by Jeremy Drury of The Strumbellas. Drury had donated a drum set of his to The Three Rs Music Program during our Lindsay instrument drive a few weeks prior.
After picking up the drums and a few other instruments at Van Halteren Music Centre, one of the local repair shops refurbishing instruments collected during our inaugural drive in Lindsay, Jeremy and the Music Canada Cares crew waited patiently outside of the school for a break in hall traffic as students went from class to class. They made their way to a boiler room beside the music class, before music teacher Holly Smith announced the surprise to her students.
Watch Jeremy surprise students with his drum set donation below.
"When I heard that Music Canada Cares was doing the drive for instruments, I looked in my basement and I saw all of the drums I have collected over the years, which is a lot, and my girlfriend would tell you that they need to go," said Jeremy. "So this kit, I used for rehearsals, practicing on my own, and then when we were working on rehearsals for the new Strumbellas record, this is the drum kit that I used. And I am so very happy to donate it to you guys today and I hope you guys get good use out of it."
Following Jeremy's remarks, Sarah Hashem, Managing Director for The Three Rs Music Program, thanked Jeremy for his generosity and encouraged students to find ways to impact others' lives with acts of kindness like Jeremy had done for them.
Jeremy then took questions from students about his favourite touring memories, making music his full time job, and what led to him pursuing a career in music. He then set up the students' new kit and played a quick percussion set. He signed autographs and took one on one questions from students, including requests for Jeremy to follow them on Instagram.
A few other key members of the team behind the Lindsay instrument drive were on hand to witness the presentation, including Beth Wilson, Music Consultant for the Trillium Lakelands District School Board, and Rob Barg from the Coalition for Music Education.
The Three Rs Music Program aims to improve equitable access to music education by increasing the inventory of instruments in Ontario's publicly funded schools. We also strive to connect students to Canadian artists and Canada's dynamic music industry to inspire career opportunities and enrich their classroom experience.
We were thrilled and inspired to see the students' reaction to our first surprise donation and look forward to many more to come!
Check out a few photos from the donation event below.

Playback 2018: Executive Vice President Amy Terrill recaps Music Canada's accomplishments from the last 12 months
On October 16, 2018, at The Great Hall in Toronto, Music Canada hosted Playback 2018, our annual industry dialogue and celebration.
Close to 100 members of the Canadian music industry were in attendance, including representatives from record labels, awards programs, royalty collectives and funding institutions, as well as artists, journalists, politicians and other government representatives.
Universal Music Canada President Jeffrey Remedios opened the event with a reflection on the state of the industry before Music Canada Executive Vice President Amy Terrill recapped Music Canada's major accomplishments and new initiatives from the last 12 months.
Those accomplishments include our work to close the Value Gap in Canada, the launch of Music Canada Cares and its first program, The Three Rs Music Program, exciting partnerships with other industry groups, and our latest research report, Keys to a Music City: Examining the Merits of Music Offices, Boards, and Night Mayors.
You can watch Terrill's full presentation below.
Near the end of the presentation, Terrill gave the audience a sneak peek of a just-released video taking you behind the scenes of the production process of our Gold and Platinum award plaques.
Following the annual review, Terrill invited Music Canada President and CEO Graham Henderson to the stage for a special announcement. Henderson shared preliminary results of Music Canada's year-long, comprehensive governance review that Terrill had announced a year earlier at Playback 2017. To learn more about the changes resulting from the review, read our release.
Stay tuned for more video content from Playback 2018 in the coming days, including a keynote presentation from professor and author Debora Spar, and a 'fireside chat' between Recording Industry Association of America Chairman and CEO Cary Sherman and musician, label owner and festival founder, Miranda Mulholland.

Inaugural Instrument Drive in Lindsay
Music Canada Cares held a successful inaugural instrument drive for The Three Rs Music Program in Lindsay, Ontario last Saturday, September 29th. Over 40 instruments were collected jointly by the Music Canada Cares team and local volunteers from 12:30PM-3:30PM at Mackey Celebrations, a local event venue in the heart of Lindsay's downtown area. The drive also included an interactive workshop with three of the program's Artist Ambassadors, including Eon Sinclair, our Artist Ambassador Lead from Bedouin Soundclash, as well as Lindsay natives Jeremy Drury from The Strumbellas and Warren Frank from The Kents. Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock MP Jamie Schmale was also in attendance and spoke about the value of The Three Rs Music Program for local schools and young students.
The success of the event is largely due to the approach taken by the program which rests on three key principles: needs-based, artist-driven, and community-supported.
Needs-Based
In partnership with the Trillium Lakelands District School Board, three local schools were identified as recipients of the instruments collected: Archie Stouffer Elementary School, Lady Mackenzie Public School, and Central Senior School. These schools have demonstrated need in alignment with the Program priorities, and the instruments collected will satisfy a number of those programs' needs. The local Steering Committee for the event, made up of a diverse group of community advocates and educators, will meet later this month to allocate the instruments equitably.
Artist-Driven
The community appeal for instruments was led by the Artist Ambassadors for the program, including a CHEX Morning Show appearance and social media posts. Their messages highlighted the role that music serves in experiential learning for students of all backgrounds. Not all families have the disposable income necessary to provide good instruments when they're not available in their child's school. In response to a question on CHEX Daily about The Three Rs Music Program, Warren responded, "When we started out, [our access to instruments] was all on the generosity of others," a response which is common among artists as they learn about the program.
Jeremy Drury immediately connected with the cause and donated a full drum set he's no longer using, while his cymbal sponsor Zildjian generously donated a new set of replacement cymbals. Jeremy, Warren, and Eon led an interactive workshop at the event, where they coached a talented local 8th grader Emmett Loignon in cover performances of two songs. Emmett's already making waves as a singer/songwriter at 'open mic' nights in Lindsay, and has been raising money on his own to supplement the equipment at his school so that fellow students may have access to a full music program in the future.
Community-Supported
The event was energized by the incredible amount of support from the local community. During his address at the interactive workshop, MP Jamie Schmale stated,"Music increases brain power, creativity, patience, discipline, and everything we want in our youth, so this is a fantastic program." Schmale concluded, "Thank you to everyone here who came together to make this happen, and our young people will be richer because of it."
In addition to those volunteering on our Local Steering Committee, the event was supported by local teachers, our instrument repair partner Van Halteren's Music Centre, and the Kawartha Lakes Fire Rescue Service, , who will continue to accept instrument donations until October 11th at the Lindsay Fire Hall (9 Cambridge St N).
