Description
August 2–3 Toronto More than 200 residents of Regent Park held a moment of silence during a gathering to remember Emanuel Jaques and also local nine-year-old boy Kirk Deasley, who had been murdered in a gay sex slaying exactly four years before Jaques. The angry crowd demanded the return of capital punishment and the immediate closing of all body-rub parlours on Yonge Street. They also helped to organize a march the next day, August 3, during which hundreds of angry demonstrators marched down Yonge Street past the massage parlours to City Hall, where they were met by Mayor David Crombie.
