On Boxing Day 2005, at 5:19 pm,
Yonge Street in downtown Toronto between Elm and Gould streets
was taken away from us as a safe public space.
Gunfire, people were shot, a young girl died. Her name was Jane Creba. She was only 15.
This violence has gotta stop.
I am asking you, my fellow citizens of Toronto to come out on Monday January 2nd, 2006for a candlelight vigil from 5 pm to 6 pm, with a moment of silence at exactly 5:19 pm.
5:19 pm will be exactly one week since the Yonge Street Boxing Day shootings.
If you are a Business Owner on Yonge Street or elsewhere in the city of Toronto, I am asking you to stop your cash register for one full minute at 5:19 pm.
