UPDATE:

We live in uncertain times and so it is especially assuring that we can count on each other.  Case in point, although Metro Hall Rotunda at 55 John Street will be inaccessible to Mad Pride Week because of the current City Workers Strike,  our local venue of May Robinson Auditorium at 20 West lodge welcomes us!

MAD PRIDE IS COMING TO TOWN!

The city of Toronto has proclaimed July 13 to 19 2009 as MAD Pride Week!

- MAD Pride Organizers have booked Metro Hall Rotunda at 55 John Street from Tuesday July 14 to Friday July 18th to showcase our great and MAD community.

- We need a team of organizers, schemers, and planners to help make these events happen.  We invite you to help plan MAD Pride!

Join us Friday Afternoons from 3pm to 5pm at Parkdale Community Legal Services (PCLS), 1266 Queen St. W.  starting on March 6th and continuing until June.

*All organizers who participate regularly will receive an honorarium in July.
