Description: "11/15/1969: About 3,000 people protesting against the war in Vietnam marched from Queen's Park to the City Hall in downtown Toronto. About 500 demonstrators staged a second march from the City Hall to the U.S. Consulate. At Nathan Phillips Square the marchers met with opposition, 100 members of the Edmund Burke Society (EBS). Police tried to keep rival demonstrators apart, but minor shuffles occurred throughout the two-hour rally. There was a confrontation between leftist groups and members of the EBS. One arrest was made."
