Four people arrested at National War Memorial in Ottawa as Canada Day celebrations begin
Four people were arrested in downtown Ottawa Thursday evening, as thousands of people began arriving in the capital for Canada Day celebrations.
Ottawa police say officers responded to a “situation” in the Wellington Street and Elgin Street area, and the incidents included “assaulting officers.”
CTV News’ Mackenzie Gray said the people were arrested at the National War Memorial, where some gathered to welcome Canadian Forces veteran James Topp following his March to Freedom.
Ottawa police said late Thursday evening the investigation into the incident continues.

Other officers immediately responded, 4 people were arrested.”
The arrests were announced hours after the police chief encouraged people to visit downtown Ottawa and LeBreton Flats to celebrate Canada Day, promising it will be a “safe environment.”
Police officers in cruisers, on foot patrol and on bicycles are patrolling the Parliamentary Precinct, the ByWard Market and the so-called “motor vehicle control zone,” as the city prepares for Canada’s 155th birthday celebrations and possible protests.
“Come, don’t be worried. This is a festival. This is to celebrate Canada, that’s why we’ve gone to the extent we have to put the plans in place and the resources around it,” interim Chief Steve Bell told The Evan Solomon Show. “It’s going to be a safe environment tomorrow, that’s why we’re here to ensure that.”
Tens of thousands of people are expected to visit LeBreton Flats for Canada Day celebrations or visit restaurants and attractions throughout the downtown core. Several protests are planned in downtown Ottawa on Thursday and Friday.
Bell says Ottawa police and its policing partners are prepared for anything.
“It is going to be big tomorrow because it’s Canada Day, so there could be in excess of 100,000 people down in and around this area,” Bell said. “In amongst those will be those people lawfully engaged in protesting. That’s what we’ve planned around so we’re prepared for whatever eventuality comes.”
