Media Democracy Day is being celebrated in cities across Canada from today until Oct. 26. Media activists in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver have organized speakers, film screenings and alt-media fairs, including a film and panel discussion on Burma and the media at Toronto’s Brunswick Theatre today, and a media democracy and community radio conference at McGill in Montreal (where the amazing Amy Goodman will speak!).

Good idea. I think it's kind of like Earth Day, which is usually celebrated for a week or a month, even.
