Another Black Lives Matter demonstration will take place in Niagara today, this time in St. Catharines.

People will march from the Salam Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church to City Hall this afternoon starting at 1:00 p.m.

All participants are being asked to wear personal protective equipment in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Thousands of people attended a rally in Niagara Falls last Saturday.

Niagara Region Public Health encouraged all participants to monitor themselves for COVID-19 afterwards, and get tested right away if they start to show symptoms.
