“Although we do not have specific information to indicate that there will be large-scale demonstrations or protests in Ottawa, the potential for some level of protests exists,” police said.

“We have resources in place to address any scenario,” police said.

The OFS reminded residents: “There is zero tolerance for unlawful behaviour and vehicle-based demonstrations.”

There were several messages on social media Sunday alluding to the intentions of some groups to return to Ottawa.

There was no dateline or location issued.
