If you take the Black Creek Community Walk this week (June 14-18) you will notice that the Rexall Centre (located between the Toronto Track & Field Centre and Black Creek Pioneer Village) has been decked out in red in honour of York’s 2010 Spring Convocation. Along with the thousands of students who will be receiving degrees from York, there will also be 11 people receiving honourary degrees. Some of the notable personalities receiving degrees this year are astronaut Julie Payette, lawyer and civil rights activist Marlys Edwardh, Toronto street nurse Cathy Crowe, and the much loved and recently retired host of CBC Toronto’s Metro Morning, Andy Barrie.
