Chevi Rabbit (centre) led the third annual Hate to Hope march and rally on July 19. Despite rainy weather, the turnout was strong and included PC leadership candidate Thomas Lukaszuk, New Democrat MLA David Eggen and Dr. James Makokis. Rabbit was the victim of a hate crime in 2012 in the Strathcona area. Said Rabbit, “We hope to inspire Canadians to take action … and to grow a community committed to ending bullying, hate crimes and homophobia.”
