“Thank you all for coming out to support us! There are so many more people than we had expected,” said one youth representative from the steps of City Hall. Another shouted, “We are Generation Zed! We won’t be stopped!”
The crowd that started outside the Youth Space across from RSS blocked Washington street and one lane at a time of Highway 3-B through downtown Rossland during the lunch hour on Friday, September 27, was estimated at about 200 participants – of all ages, from babes in arms to grey-haired grandparents. Vehicular traffic was respectful and accommodated the march.
