Climate protesters were silent, but very visible today along Mission Flats Road.
A group of local dancers, dubbed the Kamloops Red Brigade, held a silent dance next to the area where pipe for the Trans Mountain pipeline is being stored until construction begins (date still to be determined).
Katie Welch, the local Red Brigade's organizer, decided to hold the event as part of an international Day of Rebellion, put on by the group Extinction Rebellion.
"When we saw this form of dance becoming a form of protest against climate change, we decided to organize and do something in the Kamloops area because Kamloops is a key trigger area for the Trans Mountain pipeline," she says.
Today's demonstration involved seven activists walking down Mission Flats Road to a performance area, where they danced slowly and got into poses, with fists raised. They then slowly walked back down the road, silent the entire time. They were dressed head to toe in red robes, a symbol of passion and the shared blood everyone has, Welch says.

"The speed of it is a statement about the speed of our society," she says. "Texts, emails, everything happening really fast, information coming at you, what if we slowed down?"
The protest wasn't just against the pipeline's construction, but also the oil the pipeline would move.
"If that gets burned...there's no way that Canada can meet its climate goals," Welch says. "We're damning future generations to irrecoverable climate change."
The Kamloops Red Brigade is based on a protest movement that started in the United Kingdom, along with the Extinction Rebellion organization. Welch is looking to plan more events in Kamloops in the future.
"There were more people who wanted to participate but couldn't get a costume together in time," she says. "I could see this growing."
Looks like things are wrapping up. Not a word has been spoken by the group of performers. #kamloops #ExtinctionRebellion pic.twitter.com/PXpFDnjBE8
