Amid cutbacks, schools uniting to celebrate arts
A countrywide sing-song that involves 180 B.C. schools is being organized to celebrate the arts as education officials make cuts to address budget shortfalls.
Norman Mould, president of the Coalition for Music Education in B.C., is helping organize Music Monday on May 3.

Mould said music programs give students skills such as self-discipline and problem solving that they need when applying for jobs later in life.
