The march included 50,000 marchers. Floats and protest banners are featured, along with an effigy of Ontario Liberal party leader Lynn McLeod, withdrawing her support for Bill 167. Clip includes a rally at the Legislative Assembly at 11 Wellesley St W., where marchers held a pink ribbon and formed a human chain around the building.
