Welcome to Jack Layton's Dare Page! Jack Layton, leader of Canada’s New Democrats, combined two of his favorite things for his dare: playing guitar and hanging out on Toronto's Danforth Ave. Jack’s challenge was to busk in his riding, guitar in hand, on Saturday, October 24.
‘‘I’m thrilled to be able to help the Stephen Lewis Foundation every chance I get,’’ Layton said in the lead up to his dare. ‘‘And of course it will be fun to get out the guitar and sing. I’m hoping to get some friends out to join in, and anyone who wants to pitch in should come by. Bring an instrument, a song to sing or just clap along.’’
Children danced along, and Jack was joined by friends, family members and a few local musicians.
