MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning Engaging Youth - Member's Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER: Mr. Speaker, I rise today to also recognize the work of the MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning and the amazing students they serve, many of whom you will have just met.

The MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning serves some of Dartmouth's most incredible kids. Their work has shown that the arts are an avenue to self-confidence and a lens through which many youths can see a brilliant future for themselves. It proves that if arts were the foundation of our work with youth, magic happens.

MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning's programming in music, visual art, drama, technology, and advocacy re-engages youth with their inner brilliance.

Thank you to the youth program leaders and supporters of the MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning for bringing this essential learning service to Dartmouth and now here to the Legislature.
