The Cobourg Police Department fined seven others under the Civil Protection and Emergency Management Act (EMCPA) for showing up in combination for a protest opposed to the network closure on Saturday.
Police estimate that between 40 and 46 more people were provided in Victoria Park, near the city centre, for the demonstration.
Police said the music also sounded on the band’s stage.
The organization invited to disperse and a large number of other people remained in the park, gathering near the gang scene, police said.
In addition to EMCPA’s seven rates, a user also won a price ticket according to the use of amplification devices in the park.
Police are investigating eight other people who attended the rally and say there are new fees pending.
“Our gendarmes, special agents, auxiliary members and City Hall continue to show professionalism and patience week after week as they try to publicize respect for the existing order to stay home,” Chief Paul VandeGraaf said.
“Last weekend, they faced derogatory and disrespectful behavior again as they worked to peacefully disperse a demonstration in the park. It is discouraging that the group’s organizers have replaced their movements after expressing their commitment to remain at peace. “
Police and city regulations will continue in court cases in reaction to the province’s strictest measures, police said.
VandeGraaf says Global News police will regroup and meet with the city of Cobourg to discuss measures to put the protests into effect.
“I continue with all provincial rules and public fitness measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our community,” Mayor John Henderson said in an email to Global News.
“The Cobourg Police Department has been unwavering in its proactive and guilty technique to ensure that citizens make smart choices possible through participation, explanation, education and, despite everything that is applied in reaction to the highest measures in place to stay at home.
“Make everyone happy, make the options smart and stay at home. “
