Hundreds of people gathered in downtown Ottawa Friday evening for the March for Trans Rights, calling for greater support for transgender people in Ottawa and across Canada.
In June, hundreds of trans-friendly counter-protesters gathered outside three schools in Ottawa's west end to take a stand against a British Columbia man who was protesting what he called "gender ideology" and gender identity being taught in schools.
"It’s incredibly disappointing to see school boards across the province do harm to trans students in the name of parental rights." Ottawa police say there will be an increased police presence during Capital Pride events this weekend.
