Vehicle exclusion zone in place on Saturday ottnews ottawa
Wellington street closed, access limited in control zone on Bronson, Elgin and LaurierOttawa bylaw says temporary 'No Stopping' signs will be installed on Bronson, Laurier, Elgin, and streets located within the perimeter."Wellington Street remains closed to vehicles and there is zero tolerance for vehicle-based demonstrations or events within the city's designated control zone in the downtown core," the police said in a tweet.
The Ottawa Police Service did not confirm the nature of the protest, but directed CBC to a series of tweets they issued on Thursday "with relevant information for protestors," reminding them to remain peaceful and explaining the rules of the road for farm equipment. A "slow-roll" protest is taking place tomorrow afternoon in Ottawa and cities across the country. The protest is being organized by Freedom Fighters Canada in solidarity with farmers protesting in the Netherlands.
As Canada’s capital, we host hundreds of demonstrations in #Ottawa each year, and our downtown core remains open, vibrant and available to residents, businesses, and tourists. Everyone is reminded to remain peaceful and lawful.
"We are committed to ensuring that charter guaranteed rights and freedoms are upheld, while ensuring that police officers carry out their sworn duties," the statement said.
