HALIFAX -- Canadian hip hop artist Classified and the mother of the prime minister will be among the performers taking the stage for the WE day event in Halifax later this month.

The inspirational event for youth on Nov. 30 at the Scotiabank Centre is also expecting speakers that include author Joseph Boyden and humanitarian Romeo Dallaire.

WE day describes itself as "a movement that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world," while celebrating actions on issues suchas homelessness and poverty.

The events' co-founders, Craig and Marc Kielburger, will be speaking at the Halifax event as well, along with a lineup of young Atlantic Canadians who will talk about improvements they're bringing to their communities.

The organizers say in a news release that Syrian refugee Hani Al Moulia will describe her family's dangerous and uncertain trek from the Syrian city of Homs to Canada.

Arriving in Canada in June 2015, Hani now shares the photographs of his family's journey to their new home in Regina.
