One man’s trash is another man’s treasure: These colourful items are made from items picked up from the dump in Cape Dorset and fashioned together as musical instruments. When the community’s Peter Pitseolak school burned down last September, so did the school’s music program and materials. So Toronto-based musician Jason Kenemy is in the Baffin community this week working with students to build their own instruments, using old fuel cans, skidoo parts and copper pipes to create guitars, shakers, violins and flutes. Youth will perform a concert with their new creations April 9 at the Kinngait Performing Arts Centre in Cape Dorset. The show starts at 8:00 p.m. (PHOTO COURTESY OF PA SYSTEM)
