To mark Earth Day, hundreds of Montrealers marched to demand more action against climate change.
People gathered at Montreal city hall and walked towards Square Victoria in the Old Port.
Many were carrying signs and shouted slogans demanding change.
Kenya Adams, a student, says she joined the march because she believes people like her are not being heard.
“Wake up. Things are going on and nobody seems to be listening,” said Adams who was carrying a sign with a planet on fire.
Manon Massé, a Québec solidaire MNA, was marching alongside Adams and others.
“The youth need personalities like us to say ‘we understand what you feel, we agree with what you want and we’re beside you’,” Massé said.
Louise Royer, a member of a Catholic Church social action group says the planet has “hit a wall,” and change is needed.
