The Day of Action has also been organized by the Fight for $15.
In Simcoe County, a rally is happening at 4:15 this afternoon outside the Alliston constituency office of Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson, who is also minister of economic develop, job creation and trade.
This demonstration is being hosted by educators and the Barrie and District Labour Council.
