The warden of Antigonish Co. says it’s important for everyone to understand the magnitude of Black Lives Matter rallies.
The streets of Antigonish filled with thousands of protesters Saturday.
After June’s regular municipal council meeting, Owen McCarron, the municipality’s warden said it was a tremendous display of solidarity.
“As a community, I think the support- and the outpouring of support- is truly indicative of the need for change.”
The Saturday rally- which featured speeches, eight minutes and 46 seconds of silence and the march itself- was peaceful.
McCarron said these events will be a turning point in our community and our country.
He said what we’re witnessing south of the border is unacceptable.
