On Sunday, November 3, 2024, at approximately 12:00 p.m., officers attended a place of worship in the area of The Gore Road in Brampton in response to a trespassing complaint by a group of protestors. Later, a demonstration occurred in the area of Goreway Drive and Etude Drive in Mississauga. Finally, a third protest occurred shortly after at a place of worship near Airport Road and Drew Road in Mississauga. Although these demonstrations occurred at three different locations, they appear to be related to one another. Several incidents between protestors and worshippers broke out.
As a result, three men were arrested and charged:
- Dilpreet Singh Bouns, a 43-year-old man from Mississauga, was charged with:
- Cause Disturbance
- Assault Peace Officer
- Vikas, a 23-year-old man from Brampton, was charged with:
- Assault with a Weapon
- Amritpal Singh, a 31-year-old man from Mississauga, was charged with:
- Mischief over $5000
All three men will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date.
A fourth individual was arrested on an outstanding unrelated warrant and subsequently released.
A Peel Regional Police officer was treated in hospital for minor injuries. There were no other reports of any physical injuries.
Peel Regional Police is committed to respecting an individual’s right to protest, as per the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Any acts of violence, threats of violence, or vandalism will not be tolerated. We appreciate the cooperation of those who remained peaceful during these events.
