Descripción de Kate and Janelle - Star Witness by Neko Case (in P.C.V.S. stairwell):

Visit http://peterboroughneedspcvs.com to donate to the legal struggle to help save P.C.V.S. from closure. If you send me a note that you donated, I'll be happy to e-mail an mp3 of this recording. In September 2011, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board voted to close P.C.V.S. after a decision from the Administrative Review Committee (ARC). One of the oldest high schools in Canada and the only downtown school in Peterborough, P.C.V.S. is a vital part of the downtown core. It is impossible to quantify the devastating impact the closure of this unique arts focused high school could have on generations of future students. Please join the hundreds of community members and voices that know Peterborough needs P.C.V.S. UPDATE: On April 12th, 2012 PCVS supporters launched a legal challenge to try to force the board to overturn the decision. Donate to the legal struggle by visiting the link above.
