In cities across Canada, the U.S. and globally, protests against systemic racism and police brutality continued on Saturday. Sean O'Shea and Farah Nasser take a look at the peaceful demonstrations that took place in Toronto and several other Ontario cities.

The demonstrations came as George Floyd, whose death sparked the worldwide protests after he died while in police custody on Memorial Day, was honoured in a memorial service in his birthplace of North Carolina where hundreds turned out to remember him.
