Canada: Activists to hold a vehicular protest in Toronto Feb. 14 to demand the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions
Activists to stage a motorcade protest from 1380 Don Mills, in Toronto, Canada, from 1200 Feb. 14. Localized disruptions are possible.
Event
Activists affiliated with The Line Canada movement plan to stage a vehicular protest in Toronto Feb. 14, to demand that authorities lift restrictions related to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The event is the latest in a series of weekly protests organized by the movement. Participants intend to gather at 1380 Don Mills and from 1200 drive along unspecified routes before ending at the same location by 1500.
Police will probably deploy to monitor the action as a precaution and facilitate the flow of traffic. Although similar events have remained largely peaceful, low-level confrontations between demonstrators and police cannot be ruled out. Localized traffic disruptions are likely in the immediate vicinity of the motorcade.
Advice
Allow additional time to reach destinations in parts of central Toronto in the general vicinity of 1380 Don Mills while the demonstration is taking place Feb. 14. Heed the instructions of local authorities; confirm road status before driving.
