Crombie did not provide details on the event or who was behind the organization of the protest. However, a Haya Day event planned at city hall on Saturday has been open about its anti-2SLGBTQI+ stance.
On Friday, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie issued a statement that she was “deeply disappointed” to learn of the action, planned to take place “in the vicinity of” city hall on Saturday.
Crombie did not provide details on the protest or who was behind the organization of it. However, a Haya Day event planned at City Hall on Saturday has been open about its anti-2SLGBTQI+ stance. Crombie said she’s contacted Peel Regional Police and the city’s security teams to raise concerns about the rally, and that both will be present on Saturday.
As Celebration Square is public property, Crombie noted, the city cannot stop the event from proceeding unless the group violates the law. Any violations or instances of hate during the event will be promptly reported to authorities and investigated, she said.
