TORONTO, Ont.  (25/10/2011) - St. James Park in downtown Toronto has become home for many involved in the Occupy Toronto movement.  People from all walks of life partake in the Occupy rallies, but those camped out in the park are predominantly students, artists, and the homeless.  Musicians often perform together to raise spirits and stay warm, and ask for donations to help support their cause.  Photo by Tom Hicken.
