On Monday, the Ontario Health Coalition held a demonstration at Queen’s Park. The coalition said it would hold another demonstration on Tuesday for those who could not attend due to Yom Kippur.
MPPs returned to Queen’s Park on Monday after a summer break as the Ford government continues to deal with the Greenbelt scandal and minister resignations.
The last time police closed off a significant portion of Queen’s Park was for the “Freedom Convoy” protests last year.
