We were saddened to learn of the recent passing of Pierre Yves Gagnon, husband of our colleague and cello trainer, Susan Gagnon. 

A service was held today, Monday, September 22, 2025 at 11 AM (EDT) in Oakville, ON.

Pierre was a cherished member of our Suzuki community as an advocate for French language resources as well as the development of the Suzuki viola community. He touched many lives as a passionate teacher in Oakville and Toronto.
