A quick look at the protest
Thousands of protesters marched on Parliament Hill on Thursday to protest Canada Day. The Anishnabe nation and the Idle No More group organized the march to commemorate Indigenous children who died at residential schools across the country.
Here’s a look at some of the highlights from the protest.
