Students at Osoyoos Secondary School (OSS) have been through a lot of stress in recent months with School District 53 closing their school. So Unity Osoyoos and Save Our Schools wanted to give something back, bringing Canadian hip-hop artist Transit to play a free concert for OSS students at the Sonora Community Centre on May, 8, Mother’s Day.

Doors open at noon and the show will also feature DJ Johnny Williams.
