UWP Day in PEI A Success!

Up With People Day in PEI was a lot of fun. It always is when Uppies get together, right? 🙂 Attendees include alumni from the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s – and a multi-generation Uppie family with the glimpse of possibly another generation up and coming. Here are some videos of the PEI alumni singing some UWP favourites – “What Colour Is God’s Skin”, “One Tin Soldier”, and of course “Up With People”! Thanks to Steve Bruce for his videography skills!
