Toronto police told CP24 they don’t yet know the exact time and meeting place for the so-called “motorcycle procession.”
A media briefing to be held at 11:30 A.M. today will provide more details on the timing of any road closures as well as what the public can expect, they said.
This weekend, up to 1,000 Hells Angels are expected to ride their bikes through Whitby for the club’s national bike ride.
Durham Regional Police held a press conference on Monday to “make sure our community is aware and provided accurate information.”
Officials said they hoped the three-day event would be “indifferent”.
“If you see a large group of motorcycles, illegal motorcycle club riders, do not interact, keep your distance. Try to stay out of the line of the motorcycles and be safe,” OPP Det/Insp. Scott Wade said.
The annual meet is hosted by the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club chapter based in Brooklyn, north of Whitby, and will host the 2022 Canada Run from July 22-24.
People should expect an increased police presence in this area during the motorcycle ride.
