Regrettably, the Firebird Program in Prince Albert is ending. Many factors contributed to the decision to wrap up the programming, but ultimately, despite the outstanding work of our dedicated and talented staff, and the impressive support from our many sponsors, Firebird was unsustainable. This is disappointing to all involved – most particularly the students – but we can all reflect with pride knowing that for five years young people in under-resourced areas of Prince Albert were given the gift of music and artistic movement in a community-building structure. Hopefully, Firebird’s goal of building positive community connections with peers while instilling a lifelong appreciation and involvement in the arts was a success.
Many people and organizations in Prince Albert, and beyond, gave generously. On behalf of the Prince Albert Firebird Board we extend our sincere gratitude for the support of our sponsors, and we hope that you will continue to find avenues to assist young people in our community.
