MusiCounts has named Iqaluit’s own Mary Piercey-Lewis as the 2021 MusiCounts Teacher of the year.
The Inuksuk High School teacher was nominated for the award among five nominees back in March and all of her hard work paid off as it was announced during the JUNO Awards.
Piercey-Lewis has been a teacher in Nunavut for two decades, developing the Inuit Inngiusingit to help further develop music education in Nunavut.
