The week-long Solidarity Across Borders march to Ottawa started this afternoon as several hundred marchers and their supporters met up in downtown Montreal. The participants will be on their way towards Canada's capital city after walking through all of the island of Montreal tonight and tomorrow, in an attempt to bring attention to the plight of refugees in Canada. The group's demands are posted here.
Despite the less than perfect weather conditions, the marchers have now (6 PM) reached the Parc Ex neighbourhood and are headed for Kent Park, Côte-des-Neiges, where a street party will take place tonight.
