Play the national anthem on a Port Coquitlam park piano this summer for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

The city, which yesterday (Friday) launched its expanded Pianos on the Street program to include four civic spaces (Veterans, Settlers and Lions park and the Hyde Creek recreation centre), is giving away the prize to celebrate Canada 150.

Entrants are asked to capture their performance of O Canada or another Canadian composition on one of the public pianos and upload the video with the hashtag #pococanada150.

The winner will be announced at the city's Canada 150 party at Leigh Square Community Arts Village on Aug. 26, when Delhi 2 Dublin will headline the event that runs from 2 to 9 p.m. (visit portcoquitlam.ca/canada150 for the schedule).

Artists Elvira González, Ashley Carpenter, Katelyn Sieb and the band members with the Kwikwetlem First Nation painted this year's pianos.
