Joan Engel (Curriculum Director, Arts, Communication and Citizenship) with Alberta Education in Edmonton has agreed to attend a Save Our Fine Arts (SOFA) meeting in Calgary to discuss proposed changes to fine arts education, why the changes are proposed, and answer any questions. Christine Bouchard and Shelley Wells from Alberta Education will also be attending with Joan.

If you want to learn more about the proposed changes to fine arts education and how they could affect students in kindergarten to high school classes in Public, Separate and Charter Schools, you will not want to miss this meeting.
