Terrace musician Laurie Thain reflects on career, changes in music industry

The B.C. Day long weekend in Terrace featured another one of the area’s long-standing traditions — those who are noting the 50th anniversary of graduating from the secondary school gather for a reunion.

Thain dates a first musical breakthrough to when she was 12, winning a talent contest — and $15 — at the community centre later destroyed by fire and located in what is now George Little Park. “While there I used music to teach children and become a presenter for for Oxford University Press at teaching conferences,” recounted Thain. “I also completed a masters degree in teaching English to young learners of other languages online from a university in England.”
