This Tiny Town’s Women’s March Will Warm Your Heart
In the quaint fishing village of Pebble Bay, Nova Scotia, a remarkable act of solidarity unfolded that showcased the strength of women, even in small numbers. While major cities boasted crowds of thousands protesting against political turmoil, Pebble Bay, with its mere 65 year-round residents, organized its own version of a Women’s March that was both intimate and inspiring.
The spark for this local movement came from 62-year-old Elsie Greenfield, a retired educator who, disheartened by the thought of driving two and a half hours to join the Halifax march, decided to take matters into her own hands. Teaming up with her friend, Jane, they created a Facebook event, expecting a modest turnout of just a couple of friends.
To their surprise, 15 spirited individuals—almost 25% of the town’s population—joined them, including Elsie’s husband, Tom, ready to march with hand-painted signs and enthusiasm.
“It felt like a pivotal moment in history, and we didn’t want to just sit back and watch,” Elsie shared. “Honestly, we thought it would just be Jane and me, maybe a few others. But then folks started showing up, and it was so uplifting.”
As the group marched, rattling noisemakers and waving signs at passing cars, they reveled in the camaraderie and exhilaration of the moment. Though Pebble Bay’s march was modest compared to those in larger cities, videos and photos from their event quickly gained traction online, with one clip nearing 200,000 views.
“It’s incredible,” Elsie reflected on the unexpected attention. “You realize you’re part of a larger community, and that you’re not alone in this.”
