August 4–5 Toronto Gay activists held the Gearing Up Conference at the University of Toronto to prepare strategy for the upcoming amendments to the Ontario Human Rights Code, which were to be introduced in the fall sitting of the Ontario Legislature. A ten-point programme for action was adopted. A campaign committee was struck, based in Toronto, and a sixteen-member steering committee as well as working committees were established. Peter Maloney was hired as a full-time lobbyist for the duration of the campaign.
