REGINA, May 16, 2018 /CNW/ - Sun Life Financial is sharing the joy of music by expanding its Musical Instrument Lending Library program to Regina Public Library. Saskatchewan natives and Juno-Award winning band, The Sheepdogs, will be on hand to announce details of the program.
The Sun Life Financial Musical Instrument Lending Library program is launching its second location in the Prairies.
