Vernon, Lumby and Enderby area residents are being urged to take a stand against genetically modified organisms.

Residents in all three communities are taking part in a global March Against Monsanto Saturday.

Resident Sue Kelsey is organizing the march in Lumby at 1 p.m., starting at the gazebo in Arbor Park across from the Fields store.

“Bring your signs, and lets make some noise,” she said. “We will stop by at the Monashee Community Co-op to share its grand opening.”

In Enderby, the march gets underway at 11:45 a.m. at the parking lot next to city hall. Participants are urged to bring signs to raise awareness as they walk the Highway 97 sidewalk between Mill and Hubert avenues.

The march in Vernon gets underway at 1 p.m. at Spirit Square.
