Canada: Protest planned in Toronto, Ontario, Feb. 12, to oppose COVID-19-related restrictions
Activists to protest in Toronto, Ont., Canada, Feb. 12, to oppose COVID-19-related restrictions. Disruptions likely.
Event
Activists associated with The Line Canada movement plan to protest in Toronto, Ontario, Feb. 12, to oppose COVID-19-related restrictions and mandates. Activists intend to gather at Queen's Park from 12:00.
Additionally, authorities have deployed additional security around Queen's Park due to the possibility that a truckers' convoy protest may move into the area. On late Feb. 9, police closed Queen's Park to traffic from College Street to Bloor Street to prevent a truckers' convoy from reaching the area.
Disruptions around the protest site are almost certain. Heightened security in the area, and additional road closures, are also probable. Counter-protests, as well as clashes between protesters and police, cannot be ruled out.
Advice
Heed instructions from authorities. Allow additional time to reach your destination if operating near the affected area in Toronto.
