Less than a week after tensions boiled over at a rally to protest vehicle restrictions at High Park, demonstrators are returning to the west-end park on Tuesday.
The group High Park Access For All has set up another demonstration at the park this morning to speak out against recent council-approved changes that limit cars from accessing certain parts of the 400-acre greenspace.
In a video of the incident, the man is seen slowly driving his vehicle into a counter-protester, who was standing in the roadway holding a sign that read “ban cars” as she was pushed several feet.Today’s rally is set to get underway at 11 a.m. As part of the strategy, which came into effect on Saturday, The West Road and parts of Colborne Lodge Drive, south of Grenadier Café, will be car-free at all times, with the main vehicle entrance being moved to Parkside Drive and High Park Boulevard. Motorists won't be able to enter the park at the Bloor Street West entrance.
