Protesters gathered at Portage and Main Thursday afternoon, as they continued to call on the government to search the Prairie Green Landfill.

A round dance started at the intersection at 2 p.m. with many people showing up carrying signs, flags and drums.

Some of the signs said "We Are Not Trash" and "Bring Our Women Home."

They also painted a giant red dress in the middle of the intersection, a symbol for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

After about a half hour of being in the intersection, the group started marching to the Manitoba Legislature.
