Take Back the Night march against violence planned for this evening
KAMLOOPS — The annual Take Back the Night march against sexual violence takes place tonight.
A ceremony begins at 5:30 at the Riverside Park bandshell, with the march down Victoria Street beginning at 6:00.
Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre Agency Co-ordinator Charlene Eden says the event is meant to make a statement.
“The goal is to have a voice against violence and to state that, as a community, we don’t accept violence. We want every single person in the community to be able to walk down the streets during the day or during the night and feel safe to do that.”
