Lennie Gallant Concert for Voices for Sustainable Environments and Communities

What a treat we have in store for you on the Labour Day Weekend!

It’s Lennie Gallant of PEI - Multiple award-winning songwriter and musician - Juno awards, East Coast Music Awards (ECMAs) and the 2017 ECMA Entertainer of the Year award!

Yes, Lennie will be right here in person at the Cambridge-Narrows Bandstand on September 4 for a fundraising concert (or at the school in case of rain).

Covid plans will be in place for the outdoor venue. An indoor plan will also be in place if the school is used. Patrons can wear masks if they choose to. Hand sanitizers will be available. All public health restrictions for September 4th will be respected. .

Lennie graciously agreed for this concert to be a fund raiser for a special project of Voices for Sustainable Environments and Communities - our recently established Girvan Harrison Memorial Scholarship in Environmental Studies. The proceeds of the concert will go toward helping a post-secondary student from this region pursue studies in environment and climate change.

Here’s a YouTube glimpse of this amazing musician and story-teller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgpYz0G99WY

Now, a word about the man whose name we are proud to honour with this scholarship:

Girvan Harrison, of Gagetown NB, was a forest ecology educator at the Maritime College of Forest Technology who passed away on October 28, 2019. A quiet and unassuming man, he led by example, and inspired many of his students to put the principles of forest ecology to work in their own lives. His own property became a glowing example - 20 acres of pasture land that he allowed to regenerate as nature intended. He led annual field trips for the forestry students through the forest trails that he created within that wonderful space. It is a thrill for us to be able to assist another young environmental steward through this scholarship, and our thanks goes out to Lennie Gallant for making this possible.
