The Ministry of Silly Walks
is taking to the streets once again in a wild and wacky public fundraising event that harkens back to the famously absurd 1970's Monty Python comedy skit, featuring John Cleese as a British civil servant. This themed event calls upon people's nostalgia and their creativity to create their own silly walk for the half-hour Walk-A-Thon that circles Yonge/Dundas and Bay/Queen. This nonsensical parade in downtown Toronto is sure to be a great boost to the spirit and bound to have the bewildered onlookers in stitches.
"In tough economic times, it has become difficult to obtain government grants for the development of silly walks, and as a result, the city of Toronto has become gravely deficient in the splendor of silly walking. CADA-ON is calling out to our lost silly walkers, so that together we may unite as proud ambling citizens, supported by pledges from the public."
- Elizabeth Chitty, Executive Director, CADA-ON
