| March Against Monsanto |
| On May 25, activists in over 250 cities and 36 countries will unite to march against Monsanto. Our goal is to spread awareness about the harmful effects of genetically modified organisms and also to offer solutions such as buying locally grown, organic food. (or better still, growing your own!)
The march will start at 2pm at Victoria Park and march to Grand Parade Square for a rally. The rally will feature multiple speakers, including Lil Mac Pherson ( Owner and President of the Wooden Monkey restaurant) and John Percy ( Nova Scotia Green Party leader).
