Halton’s first annual LGBTQ semi-formal dance called, The Snow Ball, will be held at Burlington Central High School (1433 Baldwin Street) on Thursday, February 13, 2014 and is being organized by the school’s Gay Straight Alliance (GSA). It runs from 7-10 p.m.; doors will close at 8 p.m.
The semi-formal, open to Grade 9-12 students, will include gender neutral washrooms, a slideshow and photo booth, resource table, appetizers, desserts and beverages, and raffle and door prizes.
