Ottawa police and Ontario Provincial Police officers monitor a rally on Wellington Street on Saturday. A rally was planned for Parliament Hill to mark the one-year anniversary of the start of the 'Freedom Convoy'.
Access to Parliament Hill is limited and parking restrictions are in effect in downtown Ottawa on Saturday as police and the city of Ottawa vow to not let a repeat of last year's event that occupied streets in the Parliamentary Precinct for more than three weeks. On Parliament Hill, several people were walking around with Canadian flags, while a DJ booth was being set up for an afternoon dance party. Someone wrote 'Freedom' in the snow on the lawn of the hill.
Officers from Ottawa police, the Parliamentary Protective Service, Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP could be seen on foot and vehicle patrol across the Parliamentary Precinct Saturday afternoon.
