New Address for & More Good Stuff at Vital Planet
From the Vital Planet Health Shop website:
"Vital Planet Health Shop Has MOVED!
As of April 14th, 2010 our downtown shop has moved out of The North St. Lawrence Market Building and is now located at 53 Lower Jarvis St.
Find us on the east side of Lower Jarvis, just south of The Esplanade.
We now carry organic produce, more supplements and herbal remedies, new body care items, fresh baked goods, and gluten free products!
Come visit our lovely new space and speak to our friendly staff with any questions."
(Until a year ago, I lived about a 50 second walk from that address - figures they'd move now! But seriously, I saw many things come and go, but mainly saw the address abandoned during my 13 years in St. Lawerence...I wish Vital Planet the best of luck at their new address - if anyone can revive that address, it's them!)

M1M RALLY & MARCH: WORKING-CLASS PEOPLE UNITE ON MAY DAY!
On Saturday, May 1, 2010, rally, march, and celebrate May Day with the May 1st Movement (M1M), as we organize ourselves to strengthen the unity and solidarity of working people in Toronto.
1:00pm Rally
CUPE 4400 – Bathurst / St. Clair (rear parking lot)
1:30pm March
Up Vaughan Rd. / Down Oakwood / East on St. Clair to Wychwood Barns
3:00pm Cultural Event
Wychwood Barns - 601 Christie St. (Christie south of St. Clair)
For well over 100 years, May Day – or May 1st – has been the day of resistance and celebration for workers all throughout the world. It is a day when workers quit their slaving away and pour into the streets to demonstrate the power of unity. In many cases, May Day has been a launching point for massive working-class fight-backs.
While May Day was born out of Chicago after the 1886 Haymarket Massacre of workers by the police, us workers in North America have been denied this tradition by having our ‘Labour Day’ pushed into September, diverting our class from celebrating and struggling with the international working class.
With the deepening of the world economic crisis combined with the destruction of the environment by capitalism, the unity and leadership of working class people is needed now more than ever before.
