Right now, over 650 youth in the Kitchener/Waterloo Region are accessing services to help them in their struggle with homelessness. Not to mention, countless youth are facing the struggle alone. On February 26th, high school students from the WRDSB and WCDSB are banding together to bring social justice to the streets. We will rally at Kitchener City Hall, march along King Street and then camp out at Waterloo Public Square. Our goal is to bring social justice to all, provide every youth in the region with their basic needs and support the great work that is being done by associations such as ROOF. If you'd like to participate please talk to Mr. Kemp or any member of Free The Children.
The Cameron Christian Student Association will be meeting today at the beginning of lunch in B402. Everyone is welcome!
