Itinerary:

"Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City is a free, educational exhibit that is an outdoor refugee camp, where experienced MSF staff (doctors, nurses, logisticians) guide visitors through a 40 to 60 minute interactive tour explaining the crucial elements for survival in a refugee or IDP crisis."

Medecins sans Frontiers (aka Doctors Without Borders) does such good work around the world, and this exhibit is a way to learn more about what they do and some of the challenges they face.

This exhibit is open that entire weekend, but it would be good to go as a group to experience it, and to discuss our feelings about it afterward, yes? :->

We will meet in front of Christie Subway Station and proceed to Christie Pits (just across the street) for the exhibit. Please be on time, as it may be difficult to catch up once we have left the meeting area.

Afterward we'll likely find someplace along Bloor to sit and have a coffee/tea and chat for a while.
