The Edmonton Police Service is working with other City of Edmonton agencies to create a safe environment that enhances public safety for citizens and emergency responders and the protection of property during Canada Day celebrations.
The Edmonton Police Service would like to wish all Edmontonians and visitors to the city a safe and enjoyable Canada Day. We ask that all paricipants celebrate responsibly and within the law.
When dealing with large crowds, small acts of disorder can lead to major crime that threatens public safety. The police will demonstrate little tolerance for unlawful behavior.
What to expect:
- In order to avoid congestion and maintain pedestrian and traffic flow, individuals may be directed by the police to keep moving to another area.
- If you are asked by an officer to stop an inappropriate action and you choose to continue that behavior, you will be removed from the area.
- Open liquor; urinating in public; loud, obnoxious and/or aggressive behavior are all offences and will prompt police attention.
Edmonton is a great festival city because of our citizens. Have a safe and responsible Canada Day!
