The city of Ottawa is warning residents and visitors of traffic disruptions downtown and around Parliament Hill Wednesday morning for the 'Million Person March for Kids' protest.
It's unclear how many people will be attending the march in Ottawa. Similar protests are planned for cities across Canada.
"The Ottawa Police Service is aware of reports of planned demonstrations, and we are working with our municipal and policing partners on integrated operational plans," a police spokesperson said in a statement to CTV News Ottawa. The city says bylaw officers will be enforcing all parking regulations. OC Transpo service will be maintained but might need to be detoured in the event of any road closures.The protest is a demonstration targeting what organizers call "intrusive elements of sexual orientation and gender ideology" in the school system.
