Driving was a challenge for motorists in Toronto’s downtown core Sunday afternoon as a number of events closed routes for a good part of the afternoon.
The day started with a fight against poverty as about 7,000 people marched downtown to highlight the cause by participating in the World Partnership Walk.
Seven cities across the county participated in the event.
Ontario Conservative Leader John Tory was at the Toronto walk which raised more than $40 million to help fight poverty.
One young boy named Amyn told CTV Toronto he and his brothers raised $10,000 for the cause by having a bake sale. He said he decided to get involved and fundraise because his father was poor.
All money raised will go towards international development programs.
This is the 24th year the walk to fight global poverty has taken place.
