The local police service said one officer was injured during the enforcement.
Police Chief Antje McNeely said in a press release that while there was an improvement in the crowds this past weekend compared to the weekend before, there was still, "aggressive, volatile, and disrespectful behaviour that has unfortunately become the norm these past weeks." In a release, the city said the police handed out $30,000 worth of tickets for nuisance parties and arrested 12 people for public intoxication. One person who was arrested and charged with weapon and drug possession. Eighty-one Liquor Licence Act charges and two Highway Traffic Act charges were also laid.
