Small Alberta town's Black Lives Matter demonstration draws hundreds despite racist backlash


But this Black Lives Matter demonstration took place in a field, outside of a grocery story in Innisfail, a small Alberta town located about 120 kilometres north of Calgary. A Black Lives Matter sign is held at a demonstration in the Alberta town of Innisfail on Saturday. Innisfail Mayor Jim Romane said wants to listen and learn from central Albertans about their experiences with racism. He was met with a chorus of voices replying "Black lives matter" and was swiftly escorted away by police. Hundreds of demonstrators kneel in memory of those killed by police violence at a demonstration in Innisfail, Alta.
