STAND in the news
Last weekend, students from Halifax West High School took a STAND against ending genocide in Darfur.

The group met in the parking lot of St. Agnes School on Mumford Road for a walk through the streets of Halifax that ended at Parade Square with talks by Halifax MP Alexa McDonough and Halifax West MP Geoff Regan.
