(TORONTO) -- In view of the ongoing concerns expressed by the residents of Trinity Bellwoods, the Ontario Federation of Labour, the Canadian Labour Congress and our partners in the June 26 rally have agreed to move the event to Queen’s Park.

“We have been listening carefully to the mounting concerns and on the basis of what we have heard, we are revising our plans,” says OFL President Sid Ryan. “Our quarrel should not be with each other, but with the leaders of the wealthiest and most powerful nations who are responsible for the world’s worsening economic and social conditions.”

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Toronto residents to express their sentiments and it is vitally important they do so, given the desperate circumstances that millions of people are facing,” added Ryan.

Corruption and wreckage of the world economy is creating misery for global citizens; meanwhile financial institutions and big banks are being bailed out by their political friends; wages are pitiful; public services are disappearing; good jobs are becoming more and more difficult to find. In Canada alone, we’ve lost more than 500,000 manufacturing jobs and we’re not at the end yet.

The G20 public rally will take place at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, June 26 at Queen’s Park, Toronto.
