Clarence, then quick right turn onto William Street. South on William to

ENDING POINT:
Heading east on Wellington to Parliament Hill. The march will end with
concluding speeches, poems and music, and then disperse.


NOTE: There is no requirement to ask permission to march in public spaces
in Canada, a right guaranteed by the Charter. This is an important
principle, and the basis on which NO ONE IS ILLEGAL will be openly
marching on the streets of Ottawa.

as well as an updated list of endorsers, is available at:

Bring along music, noise-makers, and your creative chants, slogans and
rhymes. "Hey hey, ho ho, boring chants have got to go!"
