Chatham-Kent Police say local residents held a successful, peaceful rally on Friday night.
99.1 estimates up to 2,000 people attended the Black Lives Matter march from the WISH Centre to the Civic Centre.
Police blocked off intersections in the area to aide in allowing the march to continue without incident.
As the march reached the Civic Centre, leaders amongst the group spoke about their goals for the march along with the events that they hope to take place in the future.
The community members were joined by members of the police service who all knelt down together to demonstrate that the community of Chatham-Kent as a whole does not support racism.
