WELCOME
On behalf of the Government of
Ontario, I am pleased to extend warm
greetings to everyone attending The
2016 Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival.
Theatre is an integral part of our arts scene and
vital to strengthening our province’s creative
culture. Now in its 28th year, the Toronto Fringe
Festival has established itself as a place for
emerging and established artists to have the
opportunity to produce their work with artistic
freedom, while also engaging members of
the community by making the productions as
affordable and accessible as possible.
I applaud the staff and volunteers with the Toronto
Fringe Festival for supporting the ongoing growth
and development of independent theatre — and
for providing companies with the opportunity
to hone their craft and to see their productions
achieve new levels of acclaim.
Please accept my best wishes for a successful
and enjoyable festival — an event that does much
to enhance our province’s reputation as centre of
culture and artistic innovation.
It is my pleasure to extend greetings
and a warm welcome to everyone
attending the 2016 Fringe Festival
presented by The Toronto Fringe
Festival.
The performing arts are integral to the social and
economic fabric of our city and are a platform that
enriches and enhances the lives of many who love
this genre of art.
Now in its 28th year, the Fringe Festival will
feature more than 150 indie productions in over 30
venues throughout the downtown core. The Fringe
Festival provides an opportunity to celebrate
under-represented voices and those on the
margins of the performing arts scene.
I wish to welcome everyone to our city and
encourage you to enjoy Toronto at this time of year
as well as learn about our vibrant neighbourhoods.
On behalf of Toronto City Council, I thank the
organizers of this event and offer my best wishes
for a memorable festival and continued success.
Yours truly,
In a world of global chaos, we need
the happy chaos of the Fringe, to tie us
to our community and remind us that
everything is all right in the world.
In November 2016, the Canadian Association of
Fringe Festivals plays host to the Fringe World
Congress in Montreal. This event, created by the
Edinburgh Fringe, is a meeting for Fringe producers
from around the world. Typically held in Edinburgh,
as part of the Edinburgh Fringe, this year’s event
comes to Canada to see what makes us tick.
The Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals
has created a unique but simple recipe for Fringe
success – even the Mother of all Fringe Festivals,
Edinburgh, wants to know what’s in the special
sauce. If you’re a regular participant at a CAFF
Festival in Canada or the U.S., you know that we
don’t keep our ingredients secret: we pull the
artists out of a hat, we give them all the money
(except taxes and fees), we keep the tickets cheap
and we tie the whole thing up in a great big party!
Easy. We are looking forward to sharing with the
world and showing off for Mama Fringe! Think
global, Fringe local.
Fringefully yours,
Kathleen Wynne

WELCOME
WELCOME TO THE 28TH ANNUAL TORONTO FRINGE FESTIVAL!
There’s no theatre festival like it! We have 151 companies and over 1,100
individual performances. There is something for everyone and who knowsmaybe you’ll catch the next big thing!
This year we have made a number of changes to our box office and it’s even
easier to purchase and redeem tickets to your favourite Fringe shows. Each of
our 33 venues is equipped with tablets and cell phone scanners- simply bring
proof of purchase on your phone or a print at home ticket for quick and easy
access. For our Fringers who love to have tickets in hand, we are pleased to
offer a ticket printing kiosk in the Fringe Club. We also have day-of discounts
at our Fringe Daily Discount Booth in our Fringe Club, where you can get tickets
for up to 50% off the day of the show. It has never been easier to Fringe.
Once again we have our FringeKids Festival at the George Ignatieff Theatre.
This festival within a festival is for our youngest Fringers to enjoy theatre,
workshops and activity stations all in one location. We even have a play
contest for budding playwrights ages 8-12. The FringeKids Festival is the
perfect place for families to stay and play all day!
Sadly, this year marks our final year with Honest Ed’s as our festival hub.
Before the teary farewell, join us at the Fringe Club on the final Saturday for
our Farewell Honest Ed’s party which lasts until 4am. Join us for a toast at
10pm and add a personal good-bye message to our memorial turkey wall. We
will miss you, Honest Ed’s!

DANCE ANIMAL:
TORONTO
EXIT

from Toronto
www.danceanimal.ca
presented by Robin Henderson
Productions from Toronto
Dance Animal, the world’s only
comedy-dance-tribe, returns with
a new TO show & cast. Anchored
in the spectrum of city life in the
6ix and mixing the high camp
of musical theatre with sketch
comedy & character monologues,
Dance Animal is your perfect
summer cocktail.
by William MacKenzie
EXIT is an examination of the
effect that technology has had on
our lives. For many, the high tech
world has made life easier and
more productive but for others,
an obsession with technology
has led to addiction, isolation and
disconnection. Alternately funny
and profound, EXIT will force
you to look closely at your own
relationship with the monster.
Winners of the JFL “Best
Comedy” Award & Cirque du
Soleil ”Best Original Creation”
Award.
IN THE TRENCHES:
A DOUBLE FEATURE
INTO
by That Dog Was A Band Now
www.davecarley.com
presented by Theatre Gridlock
from Toronto
presented by That Dog Was A Band
Now from Canada / USA / Sweden
This delightful duet of comedies
consists of fresh, original, and
radical humour. An apocalyptic
war zone becomes a slapstick
extravaganza when 3 clown
soldiers find a trench. Then, our
troupe revamps the raw Italian
Street Theatre, Commedia
dell’Arte, to tell the story of a
young woman being forced to
marry the highest bidder by her
miserly father.
by Dave Carley
An Urban Nun. A Philandering
Businessman. A Mysterious
Beauty. A Disaffected White
Youth.
Caught in a traffic jam outside
the city.
The jam lasts for hours, then
days, then longer. An unlikely
community forms - until
something changes on the
horizon.
INTO was a Toronto Fringe hit
twenty years ago and returns, as
funny and relevant as ever.

A wary hero’s polarizing star
personas emerge to face man’s
best fiend. It’s a battle for alter
ego supremacy that’ll croon-rock
your world!
After 20 years of children’s
TV, Mr. Flowers’ show is being
cancelled. He now has one hour,
with the help of two lifelong
fans, to prove that his message
still matters. But things go awry
when childhood ideals and
bitter reality collide. A lively,
carnivalesque take on coming of
age in the 21st century.
Gnaw, a gruesome reimagining
of Hansel and Gretel, focuses on
one family’s struggle to survive
as a famine ravages the country
and a witch haunts the nearby
woods.
”...Will have you bursting into
laughter...a flawless role with
a genuine performance... a
standing ovation...”
– The Theatre Review
”This is a terrific show”
– Raise the Hammer
“...hilarious as it is poignant.”
– Sewer Lid Magazine
Have you ever had that dream,
where you’re in your underwear
in public... except it’s real
life and you can never wake
up? A “comedy of errors” full
of awkward and humiliating
encounters, as Carlyn navigates
through life, trying to “adult”.
Travelling in Ireland and Scotland
in search of identity, adventure
but mostly just her dignity,
everyone has a story!
Toller Cranston, who died
recently, was an Olympic Bronze
medal figure skater, born in
Hamilton. Sky Gilbert’s new
play – featuring David Benjamin
Tomlinson as TOLLER in a
performance of his own devising
– boldly confronts issues of
sexuality, identity, and hypocrisy,
painting the portrait of a fierce,
frightened, heroic, and very
wounded gay man.

Ryan Dillon just wants you to be happy,
and it’s making him miserable. In a
lifelong quest to please everyone around
him, Ryan takes us through the many
hilarious & awkward moments that
pushed him to the brink of collapse. From
a traumatic event at a movie rental store,
to why carrots haunt him, Ryan will make
you realize that you just can’t please
everyone.
Concert pianist Sarah Hagen breaks out
her fake grand (WHAT is that?!), a toy
piano, and an illegal amount of spandex in
her one-woman show, “Perk up, pianist!”
Through music, storytelling, and a healthy
dose of the ridiculous, Sarah shares
secrets of life as a touring musician and
her belief that in some way, there is a
pianist inside all of us.
Stranded in the Airport during a blizzard,
Aaron struggles with leaving behind the
good, the bad, and the ugly parts of living
in Winnipeg.
Aaron Simm returns to the Fringe with a
brand new solo show. Filled with spoken
word, humour, and heartbreak, this
story looks at what happens during the
downtime of an epic journey.

SOUL’S RETROGRADE
“ZE”: QUEER AS F*CK!

presented by Nisha Coleman from Montreal, QC
presented by Malcriada Theatre from Toronto
www.michellelunicke.com
presented by Michelle/Ryan from Whangarei,
Northland, New Zealand and Friday Harbor,
Wash. USA
From a swamp in Muskoka to the streets
of Paris, author and storyteller Nisha
Coleman tells a personal tale ranging
from flatulence to mutism to street
performing. Told in her signature comedic
style, Nisha tackles the emotional gamut
with humour and grace. Self-Exile is a
quest away from and eventually back to
the self.
A spirit is guiding three lost individuals:
a 15-year-old racist, and a marriage
mourning the loss of their child many
years later. The spirit has a powerful
tool to guide these three: jazz music.
Soul’s Retrograde is a one-woman show
on loneliness, the dilemma of othering
and the effects of post traumatic stress
disorder, along live dirty sax solos.
Director: Kristina Abbondanza, Bruce
Gibbons Fell
Cast: Jessica Esmeralda Zepeda
An autobiographical solo comedy about
sex, gender, and the ever-expanding
parade of queer labels and identities
Michelle/Ryan claims on their way to
pride.
”Ze” (a gender neutral pronoun) details
multiple “coming out’s” from one
stereotyped LGBTQI, etc. box to the
next, in a celebration that exposes the
tension between being truly authentic

Projects from Toronto
presented by Bellemoune Théâtre
Troupe Inc. from St. Lucia and Barbados
The infamous Caribbean mythical
creature la Diablesse known for
her beauty, seductive ways and
her hoof instead of a foot, goes
against her nature and falls in
love with a young Dario. Dario’s
mother will do anything to
protect her son, the devil will do
anything to get Dario’s soul and
la Diablesse will do anything to
make Dario her “soul” mate.
by Alysa Pires
Inspired by Luis Buñuel’s
surrealist film of the same
name, Exterminating Angel is an
intensely physical and theatrical
contemporary dance work.
When a group of bourgeoisie
dinner guests find themselves
psychologically trapped, social
pretence gives way to hostility
and hysteria. Don’t miss this
athletic and emotional piece of
dance theatre.

Based on the powerful true
story of the Man with the Seven
Second Memory, “Waking”
explores what it means to lose
a part of yourself so crucial to
your identity, how it affects
those you love and how love
survives despite loss. “The
most important things in life are
always the first to burn, but they
are also always the last things
that remain standing”.

After the bombs fall… after

a better life beyond the wastes.
To get there, they’ll have to leave
cannibals, mutants, warlords

bloody business of Macbeth’s
tragedy and their own
destructive sibling rivalry.

Now’s your chance to prove it. Entries are due Thu, July 7 at 9am (that’s right, just in case you want to pull an all nighter for
optimal colouring results). First place takes home two complimentary passes to a Steamwhistle Brewery tour and tasting, not to

creative minds and thought provoking talks. When is the last time you were on a date that good?
Limit of 60 people, first come first served.
Board games: they’re the bee’s knees! At least according to the Board Again team’s website (boardagaingames.com). And since
they’re hosting, they’d probably know. Come find out for yourself!

SPECIAL EVENT: FAREWELL
HONEST ED’S PARTY
For the last five years, the Honest Ed’s parking lot has been our beer tent, our friend, and our home away from home. Come show
your appreciation for this venerable institution by raising a glass in a farewell toast.
In honour of the over 10 000 turkeys Honest Ed’s has given away over the years, we will have all supplies on hand to make 1000
paper turkeys. Write your favourite memory on your turkey and add it to our wall of remembrance (or take it home to impress your
mom and other loved ones). At 10pm we will come together to toast our dear Honest Ed’s. There will be puns!
FRINGE AFTER DARK:
ROM BODY ART
Good news: the ROM has an extremely cool exhibit on tattoos right now. Better news: The ROM is hosting a body art night at the Fringe
Club. Stop by the Fringe Club for some free (temporary) body art. Come on, we know you want to get I heart Fringe tattooed on your face.

shed shows
at the Fringe Club, 581 Bloor St. West
To misquote Shakespeare: though Shed be but little, Shed is fierce. Proudly sponsored
by Westbank, these pint-sized shows continue to thrill Fringe patrons young and old.
LET’S TRAVEL IN TIME!
presented by My Theatre Company
Deep within the Fringe Club you’ll
find a shed. A regular, ordinary
looking shed. But looks can be
deceiving because this shed is
actually a steam powered Time
Machine! Inside you’ll meet an
eccentric Professor who wants
to share his adventures with you.
You’ll see different eras; meet
exotic creatures, and historical
figures. You’ll even shape the
future! Let’s Travel in Time is a
site specific, sort of interactive
(but not really), time travelling
vanity project that combines
elements of Jules Verne, Bill and
Ted, Back to the Future, Doctor
Who, and Rick and Morty. It’s
an epic experience all contained
within an 8’x8’ shed. Make sure
you don’t miss out because you
won’t be able to travel back in
time if you do!
MONOLOGUES FOR
NOBODY
presented by Jordan Mechano
Would you like to read a
monologue?
In a room all to yourself choose
any genre, style, and character
and create a performance just
for you.
Like singing alone in the shower
just because it feels good, read
passages from Fringe veterans
Kat Sandler, Laura Anne Harris,
Jiv Parasram, Rebecca Perry,
and more.
No audience, no cameras, no
pressure. Just play.
Warnings: Audience

SHED TALKS
YOU ARE (NOT) DEAD
presented by Unspoken Theatre
Company
presented by PunFu Productions
presented by Earnest Artist
Productions
A jaded young thing waits in the
sweaty sun of sad Toronto for the
501 that never comes. A mass
of plaid in Buddy Holly glasses
droops his puppy dog eyes in her
direction. Will she look back?
An experimental and poetic play
about longing for love in the
millennial age premieres at the
Toronto Fringe. Winner of the Pat
the Dog Play Contest.
Cast: Tom Beattie and Maggie
Cheung
Warnings: Mature language
SHED TALKS is an interactive
spoken word performance in
the tightest of spaces. Anto
intricately weaves stand-up,
poetry & storytelling for a
hilarious, intimate experience
filled with puns, oversharing,
hand-made buttons & prizes!
Returning home from touring
Asia, he’s been featured on
Comedy Dynamics, Magner’s
Comedy Festival and the Front
Page of Reddit.
Cast: Anto Chan
Warnings: Audience
Participation, Sexual Content,
Mature Language
The year Abby turns 16 is full of
firsts: first love, first kiss, first big
role in the school musical. Then
when she loses it all and almost
loses her mom, Abby has her first
suicidal thought. The darkness
in her mind grows until there’s
nothing left of her old self. And
only when there’s nothing left
can she find out what’s really
worth living for.
Cast: Katie Bell
Trigger Warning for discussion
(but not depiction) of suicide and
self-harm
Warnings: Hitler is a character.
Spoiler alert: We kill him.

A GLASS HIVE,
AKA THE COMEDY
OF ERRORS
by Bill Shakespeare and
Friends; adapted and
directed by Bruce Dow
www.randolphacademy.com
presented by Randolph Academy
Presents from Toronto
William Shakespeare’s classic
farce The Comedy of Errors gets
a contemporary makeover. An
impoverished father, weary of
searching for his lost twin sons,
faces imminent execution unless
he can raise an exorbitant fine.
Coincidentally, two sets of twins,
separated at birth, appear in
the same city on the same day.
Anything can happen – and it
does.

Two spies, clown spies. Their job:
to covertly listen to phone calls,
discover incriminated citizens &
sentence them accordingly.
Unfortunately, they are more
interested in eating biscuits than
finding culprits.
A Lecoq style, physical theatre
show including audience
participation, use of a typewriter
as musical accompaniment and...
biscuit eating spies.
A socially awkward dishwasher,
his cat, positive psychology,
some beer, and perhaps life’s
most important question - is
happiness a choice?

offer“ – Montreal Gazette

#MANNEQUINGIRL:
THE MUSICAL
To thine own self be true: for
Tweed the clown this means
wading through skulls, songs,
sonnets – and Shakespearean
insults – in this adaptation of
Hamlet.
Experience one of Shakespeare’s
iconic plays through a clown’s
perspective. All the tragedy, all
the fun. No dictionary required,
she swears.

A girl gets hit by a mannequin
falling from the sky and becomes
an overnight internet sensation.
#MannequinGirl: The Musical
follows the unlikely friendship
between a fame obsessed
wannabe socialite and the
inanimate object that almost
killed her. A hilarious twist on
the classic tale of woman meets
man…nequin.

One hundred years in the future,
civilization is in shambles, the
rich control the world, and
everyone else is barely surviving.
The End is a musical tragicomedy
about an unlikely duo facing
down the impending apocalypse.
As the doomsday clock ticks
towards zero, our heroes only
have one choice- sing!
Tonight’s Cancelled! Or at least
Stacey & Jason will assume
so. Ok, sure, people may say
stuff like “McGunnigle deserves
the comedy equivalent of a
Dora”(NOW) or “DeRosse
is one of the most naturally
gifted sketch and improv
comics”(NOW). Whatever. Ugh.
Come see them probably eat, talk
about their crappy bodies and
get too emotional... before it’s
cancelled.

You’ve seen the protests. Adults
have lots to say about Sex Ed.
Time to let teens give THE TALK!
SExT: Sex Education by Theatre
empowers youth from a
community where sexuality is
a cultural taboo to take centre
stage. Let this diverse group sing
and dance you through topics of
consent, sexting, relationships &
stereotypes. You may learn a few
things! #SExTEd

(un)boxed delves into the layers
of restrictions which permeate
our lives; be them physical,
emotional, external or selfimposed. It explores our common
desire to be free and unfettered.
The weaving together of several
different acts performed by
a diversely talented group of
dancers creates an engaging
production for theatre and dance
goers alike.

Jo March really thinks she could
be the voice of her generation, or
at least, A voice of A generation.
But being a ”little woman” in
1800s New England is just so
hard, you know?
Showing the world of the
beloved March sisters through
the lens of HBO’s hit series
‘Girls’, ‘Women’ is a hilarious,
fast-paced contemporary spin on
a a timeless classic.

Canadian Comedy Award
Winner, Daniel Stolfi, recounts
the story of the first time he
made someone laugh and the
profound impact that moment
had on his life. Finding Funny is
a character driven comedy piece
that invites the audience into the
mind of a comedian, whose only
desire has ever been to make
people laugh.
Dear Brother,
Best of Fringe Winner Shares His
Experience Growing Up the Gay
Son of an Evangelical Minister.
Adam Bailey’s tale feels like a
high-speed rip through suburbia,
turning from hilarious to
heartfelt to hopeful at breakneck
speeds…Inventive and Honest –

Two girls, a desert and no cell
reception.
When their car breaks down in
the middle of the Nevada desert,
Candy and Shelley’s friendship
is put to the ultimate test. Join
these young women on their
humorous, heartfelt and hopeful
adventure under the blazing
desert sun.
What happens when a
misunderstood, footballobsessed teenage boy meets an
intelligent, caring teenage girl?
It’s textbook stuff: they fall in
love, they get married, and they
resent each other. Zoey and Jake
have been together since high
school. In the aftermath of a
traumatic event, Zoey struggles
to have a baby while dealing with
the one she married.

Felicity Penman and Carolyn
Williamson are very different
from one another. On the surface
it would seem they have nothing
in common but they make it
work through sketch comedy:
together they tackle the silly and
the serious, the mundane and
the fantastical, and sometimes
there’s singing!
“Dear Diary: It’s 1977. I’m 17.
I’ve kicked that closet door open
and now I’m cruising discos,
making it with every guy I want,
and heading off to Gay Pride
Week in NYC!! I’m gonna meet
The Village People, The Boys In
the Band, and the hateful Anita
Bryant. Stand back, World, I’m
out!” Dora-nominated actor Greg
Campbell performs this hilarious
one-man show.
presented by Pencil Kit Productions

A young woman disappears,
the world is cast into a lethal
winter, and everyone’s version of
the story is a little different. In
the face of trauma, Persephone
struggles to make sense of her
own experience. A story of
sexual awakening, coming of
age, and a fight for autonomy
when Persephone’s caught
between a mother and a husband
who both seek to own her.

In this Broadway and London
hit, a playground fight between
11-year-old boys bring two
sets of parents together for a
meeting. At first, diplomatic
niceties are observed, but as the
rum flows, tensions emerge and
the gloves come off, leaving the
couples with more than just their
principles in tatters.

A new play from the writer of
the award-winning and critically
acclaimed, ”If It’s Not Too Much
Trouble.”
#scarecrow is a dark comedy
which explores how our
projected images can feel more
real than our skin.
Knowing they don’t have much
time to catch up, this father
and son talk about what really
matters: tapeworms, the cruise
ship conspiracy, and of course
time travel.
When Tesai is found unconscious
in a motel room all hell breaks
loose, friendships are put to
the test and the truth becomes
subjective.
Keir Cutler, “gloriously funny,”
(Orlando Sentinel) returns!
A Toronto premiere directed
by TJ Dawe. ”Shakespeare
Crackpot” is part lecture, part

“You’re part of a big movement

Europe, 1916. The world has

bloody war of attrition and faced
with near certain annihilation at
the hands of a technologically
superior enemy, a fighter
pilot flees battle to neutral
Switzerland where, through
discovery of the Cabaret Voltaire,

from Toronto
Record your album, make your
film, open your restaurant,
pursue your passion – what’s
stopping you? Confronted with
this question and unable to finish
a script, playwright Katherine
grapples with the voice in her
head that’s controlling her life.
A comedy about what drives us
forward, what holds us back, and
how to achieve your dreams!
by Dan Gibbins
The world needs saving. There’s
monsters to be slain, fellowships
to forge, and villains to be cast
down. And you can do it all in
your pajamas. But it’s dangerous
to go alone. A series of short
plays about people drawn
together through the art, love,
and shared experience of video
gaming: It’s time to Search For
Party.

presented by Laugh Gallery
from Vancouver, BC
In four acts – body, sex, love, and
pleasure – veteran storyteller,
Arianne Shaffer (CBC, TEDx,
Raconteurs, The Moth), offers
an authentic recounting of things
lost and (re)discovered: pounds,
virginity, confidence, minds,
trauma, faith, mojo... “A Lover
Improper” is one woman’s global
pursuit for big love and tiny
spoons.
On my 13th birthday, no one
showed up. I would like to invite
you to the party that never
happened. It doesn’t matter who
you are, I want you there. FYI:
things might get personal; things
might get theatrical.
And yes, there will be cake.
presented by Poison Cathedral
The script is written on lined
paper. We are drinking beer in
a pizza place that shouldn’t be
serving it. “It’s a show about
being hung over; my whole life
is between breakfasts,” states
James. Keagan corrects him:
“it’s a love story, but not really; a
surrealist comedy that explores
the evolution of the 20th
Century.” I take a sip of my beer.
I’m worried.
INSTAGRAHAM
A weave of stories, songs, and
poetry unfold images from the
crevices of imagination. Glimpses
of interconnectedness, patterns
in nature, the eye of a storm,
and a philosopher cabbie leave
you asking: “Is life a collection
of moments, or are moments a
collection of life?”
Join Graham Clark as he takes a
weird and wild journey through
his Instagram account. Have
an Instagram account? He’ll go
through yours too.

A one-woman play by Ariel
Mastandrea, based on the life
of Sarah Bernhardt, the great
French actress of the late 19th/
early 20th century stage. We
witness her loves, her triumphs,
her secret vulnerabilities as
she relives her captivating life.

as he rationalizes, justifies and
struggles to find meaning to
his despair, and a solution for
unrequited love.

When Private Skyler James was
outed as a lesbian after joining
the US Army, she packed a truck,
fled her base in Kentucky, and
started driving north...
Based on a true story, this
gripping play reveals the true
damage of prejudice and the
strength of a young woman’s
spirit in a society that teaches,
“don’t ask, don’t tell”.

daughter while revisiting her own
misspent youth. Some chords

As I researched journal entries &

stories were the same. Anguish,
loneliness, misery... all the same.
This was the story I wanted to tell.

Beer. Music. Hallucinogens. After
the death of their lead singer,
two band members embark on
an Ontario-wide Pub Crawl.
Performed concert style with live
original music in a functioning
bar, BINGE pits self-discovery
against self-destruction as two
musicians push their livers and
their sanities to the breaking
point. #Binge@Fringe: Come
drink with us.
After losing their first race in
51 years, it’s a long night for
Westdale’s rowing team. Team
captain Mark is missing, stroke
Howie is going through a mental
breakdown and no one is coming
to their charity fundraiser. A
vicious, coming of age story
about the monsters we become
when we fail.
What do you do when the other
kids in your class steal all of your
erasers? What does it mean to
be the new kid when you’re not
from here? Where is here?
Join our 6 performers as they
remember elementary school.

victims becoming bullies. What
does it mean to be a child in the
multi-cultural Toronto school

retribution must come. Until
justice is restored, I will not rest.
