A REBEL<br />
with a cause<br />
Grimsby resident Ed Halladay passed away in the fall of 2009.<br />
To honour Ed, an accomplished pianist and guitarist, memorial<br />
donations were directed twards creating a youth music program<br />
at The Fort.<br />
Ed was an accomplished pianist and guitarist who would have<br />
preferred that instead of money being spent on flowers in his<br />
memory, memorial donations should go to The Fort towards<br />
creating a youth music program.<br />
The $500 grant from the Foundation was used to purchase<br />
various pieces of equipment to enhance the new music program<br />
enabling their youth members to perform in-house at The Fort<br />
as well as at outside community events.<br />
The intent of the program is to provide exposure to the discipline<br />
and joys of learning music as well as provide an outlet for those<br />
who may otherwise be struggling with communication and<br />
expression issues and who do not have the financial means to<br />
pursue formal study. This is the kind of program that would<br />
have served Ed well as a teenager.<br />
