Many community, religious and political leaders will also be participating in the March which will start at Belmore Park (in front of Central Station) at midday (Sunday March 24). They will march silently down Broadway to Victoria Park for a joint concert and festival with the Walk Against Want involving entertainment from Lazy Susan, Coda, Astro Tabasco, Frank Bennett and The Café at the Gates of Salvation.
