RCNS  International Service Committee (ICS) has sponsored the music program in the remote First Nation Pikangikum for many years and this year we had an unusual request - since one of the electric keyboards we donated many years ago has been so well used that it has worn out, would the ICS consider getting an upright piano?  Well, the ICS was able to find a great piano in Winnipeg for $500 and with the ice road still available to ship large items, the new piano was delivered to EBS school in Pikangikum this week with help from the school with the shipping. The music program has blossomed over the years and there are so many acts that the Christmas concert had to be scheduled over 3 days- so it is a very important and successful service project!  Morris Ellington, the music teacher said "I finally got the piano today, many thanks to you and your organization for your invaluable support towards the music program. Your help is greatly appreciated. The piano is a very beautiful instrument. Many thanks again to you."
