#RiseUpTO
a protest coinciding with the PanAm Economic Summit and the PanAm Climate Summit,
both occurring at the Royal York Hotel.
The meeting place was Berczy Park, 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Between 100 and 200 people showed up (I’m not very good at estimating numbers) to participate. Photographers and reporters from all the Toronto newspapers and TV stations were on hand as were reprters from a number of radio stations.
The plan was to walk down Front Street where one group would block the intersection of Front and York while another group with block the front entrance of the Royal York Hotel. Mission accomplished.
