Three people have been charged after a protest at Calgary’s Tomkins Park spilled out into the street, forcing police to move in.
The Calgary Police Service said officers were called to the park at 2 p.m. on Sunday after a group of 115 people were gathered for “a non-permitted event.”
Officials said the demonstration was informed of city bylaws regarding protests, including the use of an amplification device that could cause “disruption to the community.”
About an hour-and-a-half later, the protesters began to march west on 17 Avenue S.W. toward 14 Street S.W., at which point the participants walked out into the street.
Officials said they ignored commands to keep off the road.
