The College of Piping in Prince Edward Island has seen a surge in its enrolment, with the piping program growing 60% last year. In an interview with CBC, College of Piping Executive Director James MacHattie attributed the rise in interest to both a desire to “get off screens” and to “[get] out and do things.” In response to demand, the college has added another bagpipes instructor to its staff. In addition to its piping program, the college’s drums and highland dance offerings have also experienced an increase in interest.
