Hamilton Police Make Arrests at Anti-Vaccine Protest

Hamilton Police have arrested two individuals who appeared at an anti-vaccine protest at Gore Park on September 10, 2021.

A 38-year-old male from King City was arrested for failure to comply with a court-imposed release order and was held in custody pending a bail hearing. The male has since been released. A 39-year-old female from Brampton was also arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant and has since been released from custody.

The individuals both face charges under the Reopening of Ontario Act for organizing an event that exceeds the number permitted under the legislation.

Hamilton Police are reminding the public that participation in such events could result in charges being laid pursuant to the Reopening Ontario Act.
