FRIDAY, MAY 17 — Migrant justice organizations will be marching in four contingents across the City of Montreal as part of a family-friendly demonstration called “STATUS FOR ALL” this coming Saturday, May 18.

Contingents will be starting at 1pm from Verdun (métro de l’Église), Côte-des-Neiges (Kent Park), Villeray (métro Jarry) and Hochelaga (Valois & Ontario). All contingents will be converging at Phillips Square at 4pm for a migrant justice festival.
