Annual Report 2017

AR|2017 WELCOME January 21, 2018 It is with pleasure that I offer my congratulations and warm thanks to the Hamilton Music Collective and their highly successful music education program, An Instrument for Every Child (AIFEC). The program helps provide students from Hamilton’s inner-city schools and community centres with the benefit of learning to play a musical instrument. Thanks to the An Instrument for Every Child program over 450 children receive free weekly musical instruction by highly-qualified instructors. The program currently serves 12 inner city elementary schools and community centres. I welcome the commitment of the Hamilton Music Collective to expand their program offering to 15 schools in total by 2020. This expansion will see the program serving over 800 young people in total providing them with the unforgettable experience of learning music. Music is a wonderful tool in enriching the lives of our young people, an experience all those who wish it richly deserve. With your help An Instrument for Every Child can bring more musical education to the lives of more children. Help them to inspire children to play instruments. Together with you the arts can continue to transform the City of Hamilton. Y ours Sincerely, Fred Eisenberger Mayor
