Halifax-raised actor heading to Poland to help refugees fleeing Ukraine
Since the war began just over two weeks ago, more than 2 million Ukrainians have fled their homes – the majority of them ending up in neighbouring Poland.
March, who is in his late 40s, says he initially thought of fighting, but he feels too old and has no training in any sort of combat. Instead, he felt he could use his skills to help families who are escaping.“I can do the most that I can do … I can go over there and bring a woman a cup of tea and a bowl of soup, maybe give her a chair, ‘sit down let me entertain your kids,’” said March.The former Nova Scotian says he knows it’s not a lot but says there is a need for volunteers on the ground.
