Today, residents of Dauphin participated in a climate strike to protest the lack of action being taken against climate change.
Dauphin is one of 860 cities around the world participating in the protest, the second such event in a week. The first strike took place on September 20th.
The strikes were inspired by 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who on Monday, took her movement for action against climate change to the United Nations.
Thunberg started #FridaysforFuture after protesting in her hometown for three straight weeks.
250 of the 860 scheduled protests are taking place in Canada, with huge events planned in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Montreal. Thunberg will be taking part in the march in Montreal alongside political leaders.
In Winnipeg, there will be a rally, a march, and a large-scale art installation, along with live speakers and performances.
