Calgary's Rock Guitar Shelter is looking for homeless instruments.
The northwest-based shelter takes unwanted guitars and other musical devices, restores them, and then passes them on to budding musicians.
The facility also teaches up-and-comers about the ins and outs of the music industry and helps them with their songwriting skills.
Sixteen-year-old Julian Gagnon says he wouldn't be a musician if it wasn't for the Rock Guitar Shelter.
