Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ marches for Centraide
Get out your Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ umbrellas! Students, staff and faculty are encouraged to take part in the 2004 Centraide March of 1,000 Umbrellas on September 29.
"We hope the Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ community joins the march en masse, since the University is one of Centraide's biggest institutional supporters," says Dean of Law Nicholas Kasirer, co-chair of Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾'s 2004 Centraide Committee along with Judy Dear, Janet Arts (incoming) and Kate Maguire (outgoing).
Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ marchers will meet at the Roddick Gates at 11:30 am. Nearly 8,000 Montrealers are expected to march towards Complexe Desjardins, where Centraide's 2004 campaign objective will be unveiled.
The Â鶹´«Ã½ÍøÕ¾ 2004 Centraide Committee, for its part, hopes to raise $275,000 by December.
