TORONTO – More than a hundred protesters lined the streets of downtown Toronto and blocked intersections ahead of the scheduled Pan Am Economic and Climate Summits Wednesday morning.

A march began from Berczy Park at Church and Wellington Streets to the Fairmont Royal York Hotel where both summits are being held.

“I am deeply concerned, and have been for some time, the business practices, the political practices and the disregard for the environment and the global economy,” said protester Wesley Williams.

Demonstrators had split up into two groups and blocked off both the intersections of York and Front, as well as Bay and Wellington for several hours.
