July 14th - 20th, 2008 is Mad Pride Week in the City of Toronto!
The Mad Pride Organizing Committee is a group of psychiatric survivors/consumers and friends within the City of Toronto. We have gathered yearly over the past 15 years to organize and host pride and recognition activity for a diverse community of psychiatric and consumer survivors. Administration for this activity is managed by The Friendly Spike Theatre Band, with assistance from Parkdale Community Legal Services, Parkdale Activity Recreation Centre, and Soundtimes Support Services. This year, July 14th - 20th 2008 has been officially proclaimed Mad Pride Week in the City of Toronto. Mad Pride is also celebrating across the world in North America, Europe, and Africa on the same day linking mental health system users around the globe.
