The protest started on Sherbrooke Street at the corner of McGill College Avenue. The demonstrators, numbering around ten thousand, borrowed Sherbrooke street east to avenue du Parc Lafontaine. The walkers then took this avenue to the entrance allowing them to cross the park to the place meeting room which was held on the south side of the chalet near the ball field, ice rink, and petanque court.
At this place, the organizers had mounted a stage where the different actors embracing this cause have followed one another in turn to make their speeches heard.
The police officers present in large numbers did not intend to close their eyes to the wearing of the mask. Some individuals have indeed had to face the sad reality that the mask is worn on the face.
The police made arrests without any distinction. According to the Montreal Police department, 269 statements of offense ($1546.00) have been given.
