Kevin James Langford, Saint John, New Brunswick
Governor General's Caring Canadian Award
Kevin James Langford's dedication to music and the teaching of choral singing goes far beyond his duties as a teacher at Rothesay Elementary School. He devotes countless noon hours, evenings and weekends to conducting many youth choirs. His choirs often hold fundraising concerts for local charities. Despite the fact that his reputation allows him to command high fees for his services, he frequently chooses to conduct and teach free of charge when money is scarce, propelled by his desire to share music. Mr. Langford's enthusiastic approach to music instruction has won the hearts of legions of students, many of whom have gone on to pursue musical careers.
