Vinyl Café “Hello Canada” project, 2006-2016.
The letters included in the Hello Canada project were generated by grade school students across Canada in response to Melinda Terry’s (a teacher in Everett, Washington) students in grade 6.. Terry had been teaching her students about Canada and had hoped that one day she would publish responses of stories and letters which she received. Terry passed away sometime before 2016. Carl M. Milner, sent the letters to Jess Milton at VC in 2016.
