A protest will cause potential traffic delays on Highway 17 near McKerrow Oct. 4 between noon and 2 p.m., said the Ontario Provincial Police.

Protest activities will be occurring at the intersection of Highway 17 and Spooner Street and may periodically delay or interrupt the normal flow of traffic on highways and arterial roads in the area.

The OPP’s objective is to maintain the safe flow of traffic and, when delays occur, restore traffic flow in the safest manner possible. The OPP is also working with those who have organized the protest event to provide a safe and peaceful opportunity to exercise their lawful rights while minimizing the impact on the travelling public, where possible.

Motorists should check in advance for road advisory information and monitor local media for the latest updates. The OPP appreciates everyone’s cooperation and patience during this occurrence.
