UPDATED: 121 vehicles have been towed from downtown Ottawa over the Canada Day weekend. ottnews

The control zone, aimed at preventing another convoy-style occupation near Parliament Hill, came into effect at 8 a.m. Wednesday in preparation for Canada Day celebrations and possible protests. While roads remain open for traffic, vehicles participating in protests are prohibited and there is no parking or stopping in the area.

In an update on Sunday afternoon, Ottawa Bylaw said since 8 a.m. Wednesday, officers have handed out 513 parking tickets – 186 tickets on Saturday and Sunday – and towed 121 vehicles. Six tickets have been issued for encumbering the highway, one ticket for"pile material on highway" and three tickets for unlicensed mobile refreshment vehicles.

Bylaw Services says three tickets were issued for the unauthorized use of fireworks, while one ticket was issued for public urination. "We thank all residents and visitors who celebrated Canada Day while respecting Ottawa residents and laws," Bylaw Services said on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

Canada Day kicks off in Ottawa as protest organizer cancels event after War Memorial arrestsPolice on Guard for Thee, a group pushing for the end of \u0027unconstitutional public health orders,\u0027 canceled an event after an altercation at the War Memorial… But this guy wasn’t protesting. He shows up every year dressed like this to celebrate Canada Day. Interesting choice of cover story pic there NP. It's actually Canada Night as celebrations are done long after dusk. It’s so tedious I’ve grown to foster sympathy.
