The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms allows for peaceful demonstrations in public spaces, including streets, and VicPD works hard to ensure that participants are safe. However, participants are reminded that it is inherently unsafe to march on open streets, and that they do so at their own risk. Participants are also asked to remember the limits of lawful demonstration. VicPD’s Safe and Peaceful Demonstration Guide contains information on the rights and responsibilities of peaceful demonstrating. Continued demonstrations of this type can be expected with varying planned routes. Updates on impacts to traffic will be posted to our X (formerly Twitter) account @vicpdcanada. -30-
