News Briefs: Proposed bubble-zone bylaw would change laws for protesters
Local
CTV News: Ottawa is considering a bubble-zone bylaw that would keep protests at least 50 metres away from schools, places of worship, hospitals, childcare centres and residential care facilities.
City staff say the bylaw is meant to prevent people from being blocked, harassed or intimidated when trying to enter those locations. Supporters say it would improve safety, while critics argue it could limit protest rights.
Council is expected to review the proposal after staff finish examining public feedback.
