Social Justice 12 students at Burnsview Secondary School in North Delta are hosting a gala evening to support an Atira Women's Resource Society housing development.

The students hope to raise $30,000 to build a playground at Koomseh, a location for women and children who have been impacted by abuse suffered in intimate relationships. The students have also written an anthology of essays called Enriching Times about their experiences.

The gala, also called Enriching Times, and unveiling of the anthology and student readings will take place on March 3 at 6 p.m. at the school, located at 7658 112 St.

Anthologies will be sold for a minimum donation of $25.
