The Greater Sudbury Police Service (GSPS) would like to advise the public of potential traffic disruptions in the downtown area of Greater Sudbury.

Mid-day, in the downtown core there are two separate rallies planned by various groups.

At approximately 12:30 pm several groups will be gathering outside the WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) office at the Scotia Tower located at 30 Cedar Street in downtown Sudbury. Further, SCAP (Sudbury Coalition Against Poverty) will be rallying inside Memorial Park and plan to march to the main concourse of Civic Square outside the Provincial building.

The GSPS respects the right of everyone to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. Activities may interrupt the normal flow of traffic. Members of the Greater Sudbury Police Service will be present, working with organizers to ensure the safe and orderly movement of traffic and rally participants.

To assist in minimizing the impact to our citizens, anyone who plans on being in this area during the above time frame is encouraged to take an alternate route, if possible.
