Crowds packed the downtown park wearing masks and holding signs, joining the many cities across Canada where marches are being held in solidarity with the Black community in the wake of George Floyd's killing and many more Black lives lost at the hands of police.

Following a verbal dispute, the man was pushed out of the protest as organizers called for peace. His ejection from the area was met with applause and chants of "No violence".

According to one attendee, the man had been holding a sign that said "There is no evidence of systemic racism", though he was not holding the sign when he was booted out of the park.
