UMBRELLA DAY
Horizons for Youth is seeking volunteers to assist on Umbrella Day. On May 3, 2016, Horizons for Youth will be offering umbrellas for a one time donation of $15 to $20 at sites across Toronto including various subway stops throughout Toronto (i.e. Finch Station, Eglinton Station, Bloor Station, Queen Station, King Station, St. Andrew Station, Queen’s Park Station, ) and in the Hudson’s Bay Centre, City Hall and Brookfield Place.
The Umbrella Day 2016 motto is: Help them leave the streets behind.
