Occupy Toronto was a protest and demonstration that began on October 15, 2011, in Toronto, Ontario, near Bay Street in Downtown Toronto's Financial District[2][3] and moved to St. James Park. It was a part of the Occupy movement, which protested against economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of corporations and lobbyists on government.[4]

As of June 2012, Occupy Toronto had continued to engage in semi-organized meetings, events and actions.[5]
