Crowds descend on Queen’s Park for Global Climate Strike

by  • 

Posts at #Climatestrike Toronto on Twitter show many tweets on the large demonstration at Queen’s Park. The Toronto school board gave students permission to be absent for the rally, and have asked teachers to avoid scheduling tests and other assessments on the rally day. Students at Bessborough School could be seen (& heard!) hosting their own strike around their schoolyard. Toronto Police Operations posted the map below with the following advice: #ClimateAction protest in #Toronto is happening today at noon, many people are expected to attend. @TorontoPolice officers are there and will have rolling road closures in place. From Queens Park along Wellesley to Bay. Bay to Queen. Queen to University. North to Queens Park
