Ottawa withdraws 17 tickets for noise violations during protests

The City of Ottawa cancelled 17 tickets for noise violations during pro-Palestinian protests nearly two years ago.

Bylaw Services officers issued the tickets under the Noise Bylaw in December 2023 and early in 2024 for using megaphones and amplifiers during protests in public places. Staff told CTV News Ottawa in December 2023 that verbal warnings were issued prior to the tickets being handed out.

The fine for violating the Noise Bylaw is $400.

In a statement to CTV News Ottawa on Tuesday, the city said the tickets were cancelled in the public interest.

“The City prosecutor withdrew 17 tickets today under the Noise Bylaw, each having a set fine of $400. Most of the tickets dated back more than 20 months to December 2023, with a few issued in early 2024,” interim city solicitor Stuart Huxley said in an email.
