Thousands of people attended the #Justice4BlackLives rally in Niagara Falls over the weekend.

It started on Victoria Ave, close to Highway 420, and the demonstrators marched down to the Whirlpool Bridge. 

They knelt and went silent for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the same amount of time that George Floyd was pinned down in Minneapolis. 

If you attended the peaceful demonstration on Saturday, Niagara Region Public Health says you should monitor yourself for signs of COVID-19 and get tested right away if you start to show symptoms.
