Bobby Cairns was a giant of Alberta music. When both he and his wife Sharon died in November of COVID-19 complications, it was impossible for the family and the community to gather for a memorial. However, a brand-new MacEwan University scholarship honours their memory, and will help to foster the growth of music students in the future.
Grant Stovel caught up with their son, Jay Cairns, a great musician himself, who told us about the Bobby and Sharon Cairns Memorial Award, created by MacEwan in honour of his parents.
