Stratford Honour Choir at the PEI Human Right’s Open House, December 11th, 2017
The Honour Choir contributed to the Human Right’s Commission’s Open House, at Memorial Hall, Confederation Centre today!
Focus: First Nations reconciliation, Sixties scoop, porcupine quilling, native drumming, speeches and more! Syrian refugee, grade seven student, Basel Al Rachad, spoke about his pride taking the Oath of Allegiance to Canada, Mi’kmaq dancers and drummers shared their talents; several guest speakers spoke about the meaning and relevancy of human rights in today’s society, and, the SES Honour Choir sang their rendition of John Lennon’s, “Imagine”. This event was held under a mammoth display of dream catchers, suspended from the ceiling.
This was a beautiful celebration, though filled with dreadfully sad and unbelievable atrocities committed to First Nations people in Canada. At the same time, however, there was an obvious sense of hope in future relationships.
Special thanks to the Honour Choir participants for preparing their music, and to parents for their support.
SES Glee Club enjoyed singing with the Stratford Community Choir!
The Glee Club students sang beautifully as special guests at the Stratford Community choir’s December concert, on Sunday, December 10th, at Park Royal United Church!
