Football Coach Asks Team To Participate In Raising Awareness Of Violence Against Women

It's just as important for men to be involved -- if not more -- than women.

That word from Fundy Minor Football Coach Mike Scott on the 3rd Annual Take Back The Night March which raises awareness of violence against women in our communities.

Scott tells Tide News he is urging his team, the Bantam Silverados, to take part in the March tomorrow night. Scott says he wants the boys there -- whom range in age from 14 to 15 years old -- in hopes of educating them at an early age and having the issue of domestic violence discussed more openly.

The March will run from the Border Arena on King Street to St. Stephen's University on Main Street, tomorrow evening, from 7 to 9pm.
