In 1995, the Heart of the City Piano Program (HCPP) began as a single dream to enhance the lives of at-risk youth through a structured music program. Richard Dube, the music teacher of Pleasant Hill Community School in Saskatoon, started the program with the strong belief that involvement in the HCPP will help students to make positive lifestyle choices and prevent them from becoming involved in drugs, alcohol and violence.
The HCPP has since expanded to include several cities across Canada:
– 1999: Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina
– 2002: Edmonton
– 2005: Ottawa
– 2007: Montreal
– 2008: Vancouver
– 2014: Calgary
