Hundreds of women, with a strong representation of men and children, descended on the Ottawa Human Rights Monument near City Hall Saturday morning to march in support of sister organizations in Washington and around the world.
The marches were to protest the new administration of President Donald Trump, with a focus on protecting and advancing women’s rights.
The protest march was to promote equality and equal rights for all people regardless of race, sexual orientation, or ability.
Ottawa police closed Elgin Street to one lane as the crowds grew.
The Ottawa march will travel down Laurier Avenue to the Bronson Centre and is scheduled to end at about 2 p.m.
Police advised that Laurier would be closed between Bronson Avenue and Somerset Street West and warned of further intermittent closures as the march proceeded.
