Horizons for Seniors grant of $10,000.<br />
We appreciate the hospitality of the parish!<br />

Kindermusik at <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong> <strong>Magdalene</strong> 2011<br />
In September 2010 Nancy Aasland began teaching Kindermusik classes in the nursery here at <strong>St</strong> <strong>Mary</strong><br />
<strong>Magdalene</strong>. Kindermusik is an internationally renowned curriculum that introduces the joy of music-making to<br />
children from infancy to age 7. Nancy has been teaching this program since 1998 at two other locations in<br />
Winnipeg. Her program is now the largest in Canada, with over 500 students and 10 staff.<br />
This year we are running about a dozen classes a week serving around 100 local families. They are having a<br />
marvellous time – singing, dancing and playing percussion instruments.<br />
I have had a couple ask question about the church, including a request for a tour.<br />
