Saturday October 14th, rain or shine!
The Make Poverty History Campaign will be holding this Walk & Rally from Peace Flame Park to the Vancouver Art Gallery to coincide with global mobilizations around the International Day of Poverty Eradication.
Last year, Global Television estimated 2000 of us were marching. Let’s double that number this year. Come join us for some great music and learn how you can support others in our community who are working to eliminate local and global poverty. Bring friends and family! Bring out your whole school or office!
The walk starts at 11 am at Seaforth Peace Flame Park (south end of Burrard Street Bridge). March to the Vancouver Art Gallery. Estimated arrival time 12 pm.
Festivities begin at 12 noon at the VAncouver Art Gallery – Guest speakers, music, NGO booths, and more!
