On Wednesday, April 6th 2011, in a number of cities across Canada, organizations that have come together as part of the Voices-Voix Coalition are organizing a variety of events under the banner ‘A Day for Democracy’.

Join Duff Conacher, Coordinator of DemocracyWatch, Robert Fox, Executive Director of Oxfam Canada, and other speakers and organizations for a discussion on how we as citizens and civil society can defend democracy, free speech, and transparency in Canada – both in the short and in the long-term.
