Another anti-mask rally was planned for Calgary this weekend despite public health orders. Despite the issuance of public health orders, Calgary has seen multiple anti-mask rallies over the past several weeks – and another is scheduled to take place this weekend.
Although protestors have been disobeying health orders, police and bylaw officers have issued a total of 18 tickets for violations against the Alberta Public Health Act since November 24.
The Calgary police stated that officers will monitor this weekend’s anti-mask protest to ensure the event remains peaceful.
The Alberta government declared a state of public health emergency on November 24, along with new restrictions. At that time, peace officers or police could fine those who break the restrictions $1,000 per ticketed offense and up to $100,000 in the courts.
