This year marks the 5th anniversary since the passing of our friend Jack Layton. Olivia Chow and the Jack Layton Memorial Committee invite you to gather to remember Jack and look towards the future of progressive activism in Toronto and beyond.

We hope you can join us in beautiful Riverdale Park West, across the street from Necropolis, Jack's final resting place. The event is free, family-friendly and will happen outside, rain or shine. A line-up of speakers will be announced shortly.

PLEASE RSVP to help organizers plan for how many attendees to expect.

Note: Some seating is available. Please contact us if we need to make the event more accessible at jacklaytonmemorialcommittee@gmail.com



There is some parking available on Carlton Street, just East of Sumach. There are spots for bicycle parking at the corner of Sumach and Carlton.





By TTC, take the 506 College Street Car East to Parliament, and walk East on Carlton until you arrive at the park. Or take the 65 Southbound bus from Castle Frank Station, get off at Carlton and walk East until you arrive at the park.

Park paths are fully accessible. ASL interpretation will be provided.
