Stuck in the Snow Campaign

Feb 28 2009 - 12:00pm

Location: 
Central Library and Dundas & Wellington

Please the Disability Action Group and F.ACT in support of Londoners with Disabilities and pedistrians.  The City has done a terrible job this year at maintaining its sidewalks, and we want to help build awareness in London of why this is such a problem before winter is over.  To the average pedistrian a build up of snow is an annoyance, but for people with disabilties this is a huge barrier.  Sidewalks left uncleared leave us stuck in our homes and unable to get to work, volunteer, support our local businesses or otherwise participate in our community.

Help us help our fellow Londoners understand that a low sidewalk clearing budget is discriminatory, and hopefully inspire a change for next year!

 THE PLAN:

12:00 pm: Meet at Central Library next to Little Red Roasters to make signs and get ready to head out.  The event is BYOBB (Bring your own bristol board)

 1:00 pm: Peaceful demonstration on the corners of Wellington and Dundas

2 or 3:00 pm: Wrap up and discuss what happened over coffee.

 The length of time we stay out depends on the weather, but please dress warmly!!!

If you have any questions please contact daglondon@gmail.com, and please remember to sign the petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/improve-winter-sidewalks

 

Hope to see you there!!!
