Kingston Police and the City of Kingston are aware of a “downtown slow roll” protest in support of the Freedom Convoy and are advising motorists of anticipated traffic disruptions from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 12. It is anticipated that there will also be a demonstration at City Hall until 3:30 p.m.
“We acknowledge that individuals are entitled to a right to peaceful demonstration. Kingston Police’s priority will be to minimize the impact on motorists to ensure public safety, with the goal of restoring regular traffic flow in the safest manner possible,” says Kingston Chief of Police Antje McNeely. “We thank all residents and motorists for their patience.”
The convoy is anticipated to travel from Gardiners Road to Bath Road, Portsmouth Avenue, King Street West, Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard, Princess Street and Ontario Street and is expected to stop in front of City Hall (216 Ontario St.). Kingston Police will take steps to minimize the impact on the community.
