SUMMARY:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT:\nCovid:\nDue to Covid we ask that attendees keep 2 meters apart and/or wear a mask. \nBill 156\nA section of Bill 156 has taken effect prohibiting us to interfere or stop trucks. We do not forcefully stop trucks at these vigils anyway\, and don’t normally “interfere” but we do ask drivers to give us a few minutes with the cows prior to backing in. Some do\, some don’t. With a peaceful presence\, we hope they will continue to do so. Please come with peace to change the violent\, dark energy of this area of Toronto.\n********************************\nPlease join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto.\nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————-\nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful.\n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system.\n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have.\n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck:\nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.\n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Fearman's Friday Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Fearman’s slaughterhouse is located at a busy intersection\, many people drive by not even knowing what it is and that Fearman’s kills 40\,000+ 4-6 month pigs each and every week. \nThese pigs enter the slaughterhouse terrified\, injured\, sick\, trapped\, thirsty\, suffering and sometimes dead and the people of Burlington need to know their tragic plight from birth to slaughter. They also need to know about our beloved friend and fellow activist Regan Russell that was struck down and killed by a slaughterhouse truck driver on June 19th. Regan was an amazing\, strong and beautiful human that would still be alive today if Fearman’s worked with us for a safety agreement to bear witness which they have refused even though Halton Police tried to get them to the table in 2019. \nWe spread out at the 4 corners at the Intersection at Appleby Line and Harvester Road. We hold signs\, sticker\, leaflet\, use the megaphone to raise awareness for the horrible injustice that happens in this horrific building each and every day and in all factory farms and slaughterhouses all around the world. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you.\nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own. \nHope to see you there\, the animals need us! 💜

SUMMARY:Fearmans 1000+
DESCRIPTION:Fearmans has put a target on their back over the years. In addition to the obvious slaughter of 10\,000+ innocent lives every day: \n– Not signing a transport truck safety agreement with activists\n– Hiring security personnel and law enforcement to intimidate & ticket activists\n– Lobbying politicians to pass Bill 156\n– Funding “counter-protestor” groups to show up to activist events\n– Most importantly\, culpability in Regan Russell’s death \nTime to fight back where it hurts – their bottom-line. \nThis will be a recurring event. Each time it hits 1000 attendees\, the event date and time will be DM’ed to all attendees. \nWe will shutdown Fearmans for the day with 1000 people showing up throughout the day. Media will be present to document the event. Once it’s over\, we start again by amassing 1000 attendees. \nHow many shutdowns can they handle before it starts to seriously affect them? We’ll find out! \nPlease forward and share with anyone and everyone – activists\, allies\, family\, friends\, local or can travel from out of town. We need EVERYONE!

SUMMARY:Toronto Pig Save Weekly Vigil for the Pigs
DESCRIPTION:Toronto Pig Save Vigils now occur at the intersection of Harvester Rd & Appleby Line in Burlington next to Fearmans Slaughterhouse. \nDon’t turn away. Please join us to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the thousands of baby pigs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at Fearmans slaughterhouse. \nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided.\n—————————————————- \nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending. \n☮️ Keeping Save Movement vigils peaceful. The purpose of Save Movement vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. \n🚍 Bear witness on the sidewalk side of the truck.  Harvester Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. Please always pay attention to your surroundings. \n🙋‍Keep Arms out of the truck.  Please avoid the temptation to reach inside. Pigs are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some pigs will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.  Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck: The timekeeper will indicate when you should move away from the truck. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times\, and help others to keep safe too. \nThank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT:\nCovid:\nDue to Covid we ask that attendees keep 2 meters apart and/or wear a mask. \nBill 156\nA section of Bill 156 has taken effect prohibiting us to interfere or stop trucks. We do not forcefully stop trucks at these vigils anyway\, and don’t normally “interfere” but we do ask drivers to give us a few minutes with the cows prior to backing in. Some do\, some don’t. With a peaceful presence\, we hope they will continue to do so. Please come with peace to change the violent\, dark energy of this area of Toronto.\n********************************\nPlease join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto.\nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————-\nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful.\n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system.\n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have.\n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck:\nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.\n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:Fearman's Friday Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Fearman’s slaughterhouse is located at a busy intersection\, many people drive by not even knowing what it is and that Fearman’s kills 40\,000+ 4-6 month pigs each and every week. \nThese pigs enter the slaughterhouse terrified\, injured\, sick\, trapped\, thirsty\, suffering and sometimes dead and the people of Burlington need to know their tragic plight from birth to slaughter. They also need to know about our beloved friend and fellow activist Regan Russell that was struck down and killed by a slaughterhouse truck driver on June 19th. Regan was an amazing\, strong and beautiful human that would still be alive today if Fearman’s worked with us for a safety agreement to bear witness which they have refused even though Halton Police tried to get them to the table in 2019. \nWe spread out at the 4 corners at the Intersection at Appleby Line and Harvester Road. We hold signs\, sticker\, leaflet\, use the megaphone to raise awareness for the horrible injustice that happens in this horrific building each and every day and in all factory farms and slaughterhouses all around the world. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you. \nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own. \nHope to see you there\, the animals need us!

SUMMARY:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT:\nCovid:\nDue to Covid we ask that attendees keep 2 meters apart and/or wear a mask. \nBill 156\nA section of Bill 156 has taken effect prohibiting us to interfere or stop trucks. We do not forcefully stop trucks at these vigils anyway\, and don’t normally “interfere” but we do ask drivers to give us a few minutes with the cows prior to backing in. Some do\, some don’t. With a peaceful presence\, we hope they will continue to do so. Please come with peace to change the violent\, dark energy of this area of Toronto.\n********************************\nPlease join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto.\nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————-\nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful.\n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system.\n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have.\n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck:\nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.\n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you. \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

SUMMARY:6-Hour Fundraising Vigil for the Pigs - In Opposition of Bill 156
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION TO ATTEND THIS VIGIL IS NOW CLOSED!\nWE APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST IN ATTENDING\, BUT WE HAVE REACHED MAXIMUM ATTENDANCE REGISTRATION. IF YOU HAVE NOT PERSONALLY CONFIRMED A TIMESLOT WITH AN EVENT VOLUNTEER\, PLEASE DO NOT ATTEND.\nWE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE\, BUT SAFETY IS A PRIORITY AND COVID REGULATIONS MUST BE STRICTLY OBSERVED.\nTHANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE ANIMALS! \nBill 156 is an unconstitutional piece of legislation that threatens to take away our rights to peacefully bear witness to thousands of innocent pigs\, on a daily basis. Not only does it jeopardize our ability to offer the pigs comfort and compassion\, in their final terrifying moments\, it takes away the right for activists and journalists to expose inhumane conditions and cruelty within the animal agriculture industry. \nAnimal Justice will be taking on the daunting task of challenging this Bill in the Ontario courts. In order to assist with their fight\, this fundraiser is aimed to raise proceeds that will be donated to Animal Justice to help make this challenge possible. \nTHE TOP 3 FUNDRAISERS WILL RECEIVE A TORONTO PIG SAVE SWAG PACKAGE! \nThis event will take place\, rain or shine\, so be sure to watch the weather and dress accordingly. Bring a hat\, gloves\, jacket\, blankets\, umbrella and picnic basket! (Please\, no alcohol or other recreational substances.) \nWe will be set up at the Fearmans gates\, for the duration of the vigil\, however you will have the option to bear witness from the sidewalk or from the corner of Appleby and Harvester. \nTHOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED TO ATTEND will be set up at the Fearmans gates\, for the duration of the vigil\, however we will also bear witness from the sidewalk or from the corner of Appleby and Harvester. Please note\, regulations being monitored and video-taped by the Regional Police are being updated on a weekly basis so a safety briefing will be mandatory for all those participating in this event. (Please see below for general safety guidelines.) \nThere will be access to a washroom during this event\, across the street from Fearmans\, at the Tim Hortons. (Yes\, they have dairy alternative almond milk for your coffee at this location!) \nHAPPY FUNDRAISING AND WE’LL SEE YOU THERE! \nSafety Notes:\nPlease do not react negatively to any taunts or aggressive behaviour from workers or members of the public. This can increase tension and thus decrease the overall safety of the vigil. Instead please return love for hate. We use a love-based community-organizing approach based on nonviolence\, love and truth as informed by Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi. With that in mind\, ensure any interactions with slaughterhouse workers or police are calm and love-based. We will have Safety Marshals present during this event. If you feel someone is acting in an unsafe manner\, please inform one of these Marshals.\nRespect the boundaries of any coned or taped areas implemented by Safety Marshals to ensure safety.\nNever climb upon trucks or run alongside them to touch pigs or take photos/videos.\nDo not put your hands or fingers inside the trucks to interact with the pigs.\nNever approach a moving vehicle and only approach when the Safety Marshals give the ok and the vehicle has come to a complete stop.\nAt all times\, be mindful to keep a safe distance from the trucks when they are in motion\, especially when they are turning. \n**All violations\, infractions\, fines or charges applied to individuals for unlawful acts (related OR unrelated to Bill 156) are the sole responsibility of the individual. Attending the vigil and/or interacting with trucks /pigs is done so at your own risk.**

SUMMARY:Fearman's Truth Bombs @ the Intersection
DESCRIPTION:Fearman’s slaughterhouse is located at a busy intersection\, many people drive by not even knowing what it is and that Fearman’s kills 40\,000+ 4-6 month pigs each and every week. \nThese pigs enter the slaughterhouse terrified\, injured\, sick\, trapped\, thirsty\, suffering and sometimes dead and the people of Burlington need to know their tragic plight from birth to slaughter. They also need to know about our beloved friend and fellow activist Regan Russell that was struck down and killed by a slaughterhouse truck driver on June 19th. Regan was an amazing\, strong and beautiful human that would still be alive today if Fearman’s worked with us for a safety agreement to bear witness which they have refused even though Halton Police tried to get them to the table in 2019. \nWe spread out at the 4 corners at the Intersection at Appleby Line and Harvester Road. We hold signs\, sticker\, leaflet\, use the megaphone to raise awareness for the horrible injustice that happens in this horrific building each and every day and in all factory farms and slaughterhouses all around the world. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you. \nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own. \nHope to see you there\, the animals need us! 💜 \nNote: Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice. Please bring a friend. They desperately need you

SUMMARY:Toronto Cow Save Vigil for the Cows
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT:\nCovid:\nDue to Covid we ask that attendees keep 2 meters apart and/or wear a mask. \nBill 156\nA section of Bill 156 has taken effect prohibiting us to interfere or stop trucks. We do not forcefully stop trucks at these vigils anyway\, and don’t normally “interfere” but we do ask drivers to give us a few minutes with the cows prior to backing in. Some do\, some don’t. With a peaceful presence\, we hope they will continue to do so. Please come with peace to change the violent\, dark energy of this area of Toronto.\n********************************\nPlease join us for a vigil to bear witness to\, and to speak up for\, the hundreds of cows\, calves\, and lambs whose lives are needlessly and violently stolen from them daily at St. Helen’s slaughterhouse in Toronto.\nPlacards\, leaflets\, support are provided. \nPARKING: Please park in the parking lot of the Stock Yards Village shopping complex\, a 1 minute walk from the vigil site. There is no parking at the vigil and tickets are being issued.\n——————————-\nPlease read these vigil and safety notes prior to attending.👇 \n☮️ Keeping Toronto Cow Save vigils peaceful.\n1) Peace:\nThe purpose of Toronto Cow Save vigils is to bear witness\, to see the reality\, to connect\, to document\, then to share with others. To bring peace to a violent space. Disruptions can take place at a different time.\n2) Truck Drivers:\nMany drivers are now voluntarily giving us time to bear witness. This is due to building a place of respect over a long period of time. Though we know what they do for a living is wrong\, we remain respectful to the drivers for giving us this time to expose to the world the reality of farmed animals. We are not there to attack individuals\, but a whole system.\n3) Slaughterhouse Workers:\nSome workers may try to taunt (though rarely anymore). Offer a wave or peace sign instead of engaging in a negativity. Break the cycle of violence. \n🚍 Bearing witness on the sidewalk side of the truck:\n1) Stress for animals:\nWhen the cows are surrounded\, they may panic. Most have not had positive human interactions in their short lives and may see us as danger. Let’s not cause any added stress to these beings than they already have.\n2) Your safety:\nGlen Scarlett Road is extremely busy with transport trucks and other large vehicles. When bearing witness\, we are often not actively paying attention to our surroundings and tragedy could happen. \n🙋‍ Keep Arms out of the truck:\nWe’ve experienced a few serious injuries from vigil attendees putting hands/arms into the truck. Please avoid the temptation to reach inside for the following reasons:\n1) The truck may suddenly move\, trapping/taking you with it.\n2) Cows are extremely large and heavy beings. Though they may not intend to hurt\, a human arm may frighten them and simple movement can crush or break bones. Instead\, offer your hand just at the opening of the truck. Some cows will choose to come to you and sniff/lick your hand.\n3) Fear. Many of these beings have not known kind human hands in the past. This may cause them stress. \n🚛 Moving away from the truck:\nThe driver will often beep his horn when it’s time to back away or we will let you know. At that time we must (very\, very sadly) move away from the truck\, for your safety and to allow the driver space to back up. This is what they’ve agreed upon to voluntarily give us this time to bear witness. Not giving them the safe space may\, sadly\, break our agreement and end our ability to bear witness. Until we have a mass movement to free our friends\, this is what we must do to help them. \n❤️🐄🐑❤️ Thank you for your understanding and for coming to bear witness and to be their voice.

SUMMARY:World Day for Farmed Animals Vigils
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, an estimated 70 billion cows\, pigs\, chickens\, turkeys\, and other sentient land-based animals are caged\, crowded\, deprived\, drugged\, mutilated and macerated in the world’s factory farms. Then they are brutally slaughtered for our dinner table. Countless aquatic animals are caught and suffocated by vast trawler nets\, so we can have our fish fillet or tuna fish salad. \nSince 1983\, the annual observance of World Day for Farmed Animals on October 2nd (Gandhi’s birthday) has been offering people of conscience a superb opportunity to memorialize and mourn these innocent lives. An opportunity to ask their friends and neighbors to stop subsidizing senseless atrocities at their supermarket checkout counter. Hundreds of groups and individuals throughout the world participate each year. \nMeet us at the North / East corner of Appleby Line and Harvester Road. \nThere may be an opportunity to bear witness on the median when the trucks are stopped at the red light but that is not always possible. Nobody is obligated to try and bear witness but some of us will given the opportunity. If you are on the median there are some safety rules that we will provide you.\nSigns\, stickers and leaflets are provided but feel free to bring your own. \nHope to see you there\, the animals need us! 💜
