Rally images stolen from Ecology Action Centre & Page 1 Theatre. Some email wording stolen from nsarts.ca.

In the '90s, I worked for the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia. Amongst my many jobs was running the Writers' In The Schools program. WITS involves a small investment (only $65,000, which I notice has not been increased since I ran this program 30 years ago) and puts local authors into their classrooms to support a love of reading and allow students to see themselves in the books they are reading.
