Kamloops Black Lives Matter group plans peaceful protest at Riverside Park
KAMLOOPS — A group associated with the Black Lives Matter movement is planning a protest in Kamloops.
The group, identified on Instagram as ‘kamloops.blm.movement’, says the protest will take place on Thursday (June 4) at 12:00 noon at Riverside Park.
The event is described as “a protest in honour of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, George Floyd, and the many other unarmed P.O.C. (people of colour) being murdered daily.”
Floyd died in Minneapolis May 25 after a white police officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes. Korchinski-Paquet fell to her death from a Toronto high rise May 27 after an interaction with Toronto police.
