The Ontario United Front of Hong Kong Students March

Today is National Day in China. While the people in Hong Kong participate in the biggest rallies yet, Canadian students are joining the fight for democracy. The Ontario United Front of Hong Kong Students is hosting a march today from 2 p.m.- 3 p.m. The march goes from the University of Toronto to the Hong Kong Economic & Trades Office. There, participants will tie yellow ribbons onto the gates and deliver a letter of petition. University campuses are participating from all around Ontario including: Ryerson, U of T, Western and Carleton.
