Protest activities may result in traffic delays Jan. 24 at the intersection of Highway 17 and Highway 6 in McKerrow, said the Ontario Provincial Police.

Protesters will set up between noon and 2 p.m. Activities will periodically delay or interrupt the normal flow of traffic.

“The OPP’s objective is to maintain the safe flow of traffic and, when delays occur, restore traffic flow in the safest manner possible,” said a news release. “The OPP is also working with those who may organize protest events 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 these occurrences.
