Scores march to protest violence against women

Seventy people participated in the Walk for the Prevention of Violence Against Women on Tuesday organized by the Revelstoke Women's Shelter. Many of the group were students from Revelstoke Secondary School, including 16 male youth, some holding hands with their partners, reflecting the positive relationships that the Shelter encourages. The group walked down Mackenzie Avenue and First Street to the 7-11 where they were offered lunch and beverages. Laura Stovel photo
