A kind reminder to all active duty officers that the legislation, upon which the Public Health orders are based, does not supersede any Charter Right (EMCPA 7.0.2).
Peaceful protests against government actions or institutions is a guaranteed right in Canada. We urge you to #RememberYourOath and not impede on people’s rights.
Arresting peaceful protestors not only erodes the foundation upon which this country is built but subjects law enforcement to civil liability, Police Services Act charges, and criminal charges. By protecting the Charter Rights of Canadian citizens, you also protect yourselves, we are one and the same.

In less than a month since we published our letter requesting clarification to the constitutionality of our Public Health Orders in Ontario, active duty officers in Nova Scotia have penned their own.
Similar to our letter, they express many concerns with their local Public Health Orders and are requesting the same clarifications. Have a read.
It does not matter where you are in Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms must be upheld by all law enforcement. If you agree, #RememberYourOath and join our cause.
