Bring: Banners, Noisemakers and Your Anti-Olympic Spirit!!!
On Commercial Drive
The Olympic torch will be coming through our neighbourhood on the morning
of February 12th, straight up Commercial Drive from Hastings to 1st Ave.
The 2010 Commercial Drive Torch Welcoming Committee invites everyone to
greet the torch and speak their minds about the corporate circus that's
starving our schools, health care, and social services and turning our
neighbourhoods into militarized zones.
Let's show VANOC and their Coca-Cola corporate spectacle what community
really looks like. Celebrate our strength, creativity, and diversity.
Bring signs, puppets, noisemakers, instruments. Play some street hockey!
Come meet with us at Grandview Park at 9 a.m.! Don't feel much like being
in a big group? Speak your mind anywhere along the torch route. Everyone
welcome!
