While Queen's Park and University Avenue remain closed Sunday, Toronto police reopened several others that had been closed in anticipation of potential anti-mandate protests.
Police in Toronto reopened several roads Sunday morning after closing them in anticipation of potential anti-mandate protests.
In a tweet Sunday morning, Toronto police said Queen’s Park and hospital row — University Avenue from Bloor Street to Queen Street — remain closed.
Yet the force said all other roads are now open.
“We will continue to monitor and there will be (an) increased police presence in the downtown core,” the tweet reads.
The roads were closed on Saturday, after police said “several trucks came into the city” to “cause disruption” Friday night.
That’s when police made the decision to “close further roads to ensure more couldn’t get in.”
For the last two weeks, there has been an increased police presence in the downtown core near Queen’s Park, where anti-mandate protesters have gathered in solidarity with the so-called “Freedom Convoy” demonstrators in Ottawa and across the country.
