Post-Secondary Students with Disabilities
Organize a Celebratory March For People With Disabilities
June 20, 2004

 

A group of post-secondary students with disabilities will hold Toronto's first annual "Simply People: Celebrating Our Lives and Our Identities" march on Sunday, June 20th, 2004.

"We hope this event will bring together people from all parts of the disability community in Toronto," said Julia Munk, Vice-President (Equity) of the Students' Administrative Council at the University of Toronto, and the one of the day's principle organizers. Uzma Khan, a Ryerson University student, advocating on behalf of students with disabilities, says "We are organizing this march to bring people with disabilities together in celebration of our lives as people."

The march is being organized to bring together people with disabilities and advocacy groups and organizations. The march is planned to take place from Dundas Square to Nathan Phillips Square, after which a number of speakers and performances will occur. If any organizations would like to participate in this event or are interested in setting up a booth for the day, please get in touch with the contact person listed below.
