This week on ART BEAT my topic was music education. I was inspired by the national event Music Monday which takes place annually on the first Monday in May.

Each year, Earth Day -- April 22 -- marks the anniversary of what many consider the birth of the modern environmental movement, but what really happens on Earth Day? Depending where you live it may seem that nothing happens on Earth Day but did you know that over six million Canadians—including nearly every school-aged child—participate in annual Earth Day activities in their communities? If you are in Smithers on April 22 and are free at noon, visit Smithers Secondary School to see Earth Day displays and the launch of a green power bike charging station.
