Popular education has sprung up in a big way at Occupy Toronto. Rebecca Granovsky-Larsen updates the Freeschool board. See story by Kalin Stacey in this issue of 99

Marshals are trying to ensure a safe camp. Brooks and Jordon are on the marshal team as well as the info booth. See story by Megan Kinch.

A major change to the camp in the past week has been the construction of 3 yurts, donated by a coalition of several unions. (photo by Kristyna Balaban: online only)

The Yurts (actually Gers) were made in Mongolia and are decorated inside and out. (photo by Kristyna Balaban: online only)
