FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 11, 2025
Victoria, B.C. – Traffic disruptions are expected due to a planned demonstration this Saturday, December 13. The demonstration is scheduled to begin at approximately 1:00 p.m. and is expected to last around two hours.
VicPD recognizes everyone’s right to freedom of expression and lawful assembly, including the right to demonstrate in public spaces such as streets, as protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However, participants are reminded that it is inherently unsafe to march on open streets, and that they do so at their own risk.
Participants and observers are also asked to respect the limits of lawful demonstration. VicPD’s Safe and Peaceful Demonstration Guide contains information on the rights and responsibilities of peaceful demonstrating.
Officers will be on site to preserve the peace and maintain public safety for all. We police behaviour, not beliefs. Dangerous or unlawful behaviours during demonstrations will be met with de-escalation and enforcement.
