“It’s hard to keep up momentum over the years, so I think we’re really happy with how it turned out,” Bolt said. “Even if 10 people showed up I think we’d still be happy.”

Since the last Women’s March, women have made their voices heard through the resurgence of movements such as ‘Me Too’ and ‘Time’s Up.’

“I think we’re definitely moving forward, but there’s still a lot of work to do, which is kind of the whole purpose of today’s event, was just acknowledging that there’s still a lot of work to both in Kamloops and just in general.”

Donations were accepted at the event to to cover costs, and any excess funds will be donated to the Kamloops Y Women’s Shelter.
