Tuesday July 10, 2012 was designated as Pan Am / Parapan Am Day in Toronto by Mayor Rob Ford. Today marks three years until the city hosts the 2015 Pan American Games. Nathan Phillips Square was filled with large groups of children and plenty of inflatable games, sports and activities.
During the announcements a group of people in white lab coats came to the stage and started protesting, they were quickly hustled out of the stage area. They stopped just metres away from the stage where they gave interviews to the media.
