Activists launch protest in Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, Sept. 20. Counter-protests likely.
Parental rights activists affiliated with the organization "Hands off our Kids" launched a protest in Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Ontario, on the morning of Sept. 20. The demonstration is to oppose what they claim is sexualized content in schools and ensure parents are informed of all matters related to their children's education.
Counter-protests have occurred in similar protests in the past, and opposing activists are likely to gather in the area on Sept. 20. Heightened security, with associated transport and business disruptions in downtown Ottawa, is likely. Some clashes cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the area and strictly heed instructions from authorities. Plan for delays and alternative routes if operating in Ottawa, Sept. 20.
