75th Anniversary
ON TO OTTAWA TREK
1935 ~ 2010

When: Sunday, June 6, 2010

Where: CRAB Park, north foot of Main Street, Vancouver

 

The 75th Anniversary of the historic “On to Ottawa Trek” will be celebrated this June.

The major event will be held on Sunday, June 6th at CRAB park at the North foot of Main Street, Vancouver.

The park is next to the railway lines where the Trek began on June 3, 1935 when over 1,000 young unemployed men climbed atop boxcars to take their plea for work and wages to the federal government.

The Celebration will include major speakers, music and a modern day soup kitchen. 

We invite you to join us on June 6th, and to visit the website at www.ontoottawa.ca
