The mayor of a Greater Toronto Area city has readied police and city security ahead of an 'anti-pride' protest planned over the weekend.

On Friday, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie issued a statement that she was “deeply disappointed” to learn of the action, planned to take place “in the vicinity of” city hall on Saturday.

Crombie did not provide details on the event or who was behind the organization of it. She said she’s contacted Peel Regional Police and the city’s security teams to raise concerns about Saturday’s rally, and that both will be present on Saturday. As Celebration Square is public property, Crombie noted, the city cannot stop the event from proceeding unless the group violates the law. Any violations or instances of hate during the event will be promptly reported to authorities and investigated, she said.
