Watch: Climate change rally breaks out at Bay and Wellesley

By Lucas Casaletto

Toronto police have closed Bay street from College to Bloor street for a demonstration from activists calling for more action to fight climate change.

A global climate strike is taking place in cities around the world today.

The group called Fridays For Future Toronto says “activists are demanding climate action and a Just Recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.”

It also comes one year after the 2019 climate protests that brought tens of thousands to Queen’s Park.

Police are on scene and say the protest has remained peaceful in nature.

The demonstration which ran for several hours at Bay Street and Wellesley Street West ended around 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon.
