Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

It's been the number one discussion in our city this past week, the injuries a man suffered in our downtown north core and last night's gathering at Waverly Park.

The events that morning caused outrage throughout the community which led to the creation of a facebook site, discussion in various blogs and in numerous news sites as well as the call for our community to come together.

I saw a lot of them arrive at Waverly Park last night, as I worked at Magnus Theatre. They were with friends and family, a lot of them carrying signs. Later, when they were marching down the street towards the area where the altercation occured, they went past my window. I saw hundreds and hudreds of people of all nationalities, ages and genders. It was inspiring to see so many people come together for one cause...to create one loud voice against violence.

I wondered...when this is all over and people have returned to their homes and are settled back into their lives, what is it they learned that they would take with them from the gathering? What would come of this? We'll see.

Have a great, safe weekend.
