Mayor Steven Del Duca needs the support of Vaughan council for his member’s resolution to become a bylaw
The mayor of Vaughan, Ont., is seeking a sweeping bylaw that would restrict protests near places of worship, schools and other sites.
Mr. Del Duca needs the support of Vaughan council for his member’s resolution to become a bylaw in the city immediately north of Toronto, beginning with a committee meeting next month and then again later. For procedural reasons, such a bylaw would not come into force for several months at the soonest.“You’re pushing people out of the public square,” CCLA executive director and general counsel Noa Mendelsohn Aviv said.
Shimon Koffler Fogel, president of the advocacy organization, praised the proposed bylaw and said it was important to draw a line against aggressive behaviour. He said that people in his community have had antisemitic and violent slurs thrown at them during protests. On Monday, Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw said his officers had monitored more than 500 protests about the war in that city alone. He said police had made 24 protest-related arrests and laid 30 charges.
