Alberta Education Minister Dave Hancock is in Calgary to speak at a forum on changes to fine arts programming in schools.
The meeting is being put on by the public school board and SOFA (Save Our Fine Arts.)
The organization was set up in response to Alberta Education’s proposed changes to fine arts curriculum.
According to its website, SOFA has been watching the school boards to ensure there won’t be a change in programming to fine arts courses and that fine arts teachers won’t be negatively affected.
The Tuesday night event with the minister will be held in the Central Memorial High School Theatre, at 5111 – 21 Street S.W., starting at 7 p.m.
