A number of unions representing teachers and healthcare workers also joined the demonstration.
The annual gathering of the Progressive Conservatives began Friday and will feature a keynote speech from Ford on Saturday night.
The unions’ demonstration comes a day after thousands of teachers marched around the Ontario legislature to protest stalled contract talks with the government.
The joint walkout by all four major teachers’ unions marked the first time since 1997 that educators from all the labour groups were on strike on the same day.
