Aug 29, 2026 - Protest Doug Ford

When: August 29th, 1pm
Where: 111 Wellesley St W

Doug Ford has consistently shown he's not on the people's side. It's time to stand up for our rights and for those who cannot. On this website, you'll find all of the dates, times, and locations for future protests against Doug Ford and his agenda.

Change doesn't happen quickly, but if we all stand together and say a collective "that's enough", it gets harder and harder for them to continue with what they are doing.

Aug 24, 2026 - Wheatpasting for Grassy

When: August 24th, 6pm
Where: 720 Spadina Ave

Between the 1960s and 1970s, the Dryden Mill in North-Western Ontario dumped 9,000 kilograms of mercury into the English-Wabigoon River upstream from Grassy Narrows First Nation, or Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek. Residents of Grassy have been suffering from mercury poisoning ever since, and the Dryden Mill continues to operate and pollute the area to this day.

The community has fought back in countless ways over the decades (including having the longest running blockade in Canadian history!), and every two years, community members and leaders of Grassy Narrows travel 1,700km to come to Toronto for the bi-annual River Run Rally to demand justice.

Aug 22, 2026 - Let The Children Learn

When: Saturday, August 22nd, 4pm
Where: The Public Studio, 58 Lansdowne Ave

Let the Children Learn is a volunteer-run, one-day pop-up art exhibition bringing together local creatives who believe art can do more than decorate walls; it can build community, spark conversation, and help children access education.

Every piece in this show has been generously donated by participating artists. 100% of proceeds go directly to Modern Childhood School, a tuition-free school rebuilt through mutual aid in southern Gaza that currently serves approximately 600 students.

This exhibition brings together artists working across a huge range of mediums and experience levels, from first-time exhibitors to established makers, all responding to themes of hope, resilience, childhood, learning, imagination, community, and Palestinian culture.
