Police say officers in riot gear are on standby if Victoria Day celebrations in Toronto’s east end descend into “mayhem” like they did last year.
On May 22, 2022, the day before Victoria Day, the scene at Woodbine Beach was anything but celebratory. Two people were shot, two others were robbed at gunpoint, one person was stabbed, groups of people were shooting fireworks at each other and seven officers were injured. As such, Toronto police revealed their plans to keep this year’s celebrations in order, including a round-the-clock officer patrol at the beach near Lake Shore Boulevard and Woodbine Avenue.
But MacIntyre said police also have an additional resource in their “back pocket” ahead of this year’s events. He said the increased police presence will start Friday and run until the conclusion of the city-commissioned fireworks display at Ashbridges Bay, which is set to start at 10 p.m. and last about 15 minutes.
