The mayor of Vaughan, Ont., is proposing a bylaw that would prohibit “unpeaceful” protests within 100 metres of places of worship, schools, child-care facilities, and hospitals. The measure comes in response to protests targeting Jewish communities in recent months.
If passed by city council, the bylaw seeks to protect the facilities from protests and demonstrations that “intimidate, incite hatred, violence, or discrimination,” Mayor Steven Del Duca said in a March 18 social media post.
