OPP Deployed To Town Hall Meetings As Tensions Boil Over Province Wide #FilmThePolice #FTP

(NORTH BAY, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) can confirm that officers were requested in advance by the event organizers to attend a meeting held at Cassellholme on December 11, 2025. Our role in community safety includes preserving the peace and maintaining public order. In this context, we attended the event to support a safe and secure environment for all participants.

Two OPP officers were assigned to the call and remained on-site for the majority of the meeting. At one point, an OPP supervisor and an additional officer briefly attended to check on the assigned members, which accounts for the photo showing four officers.

In addition, members of the North Bay Police Service (NBPS) were present to assist, as both services work together to support community safety.

At the request of the organizers, three individuals who were already inside the auditorium were asked to leave. Officers spoke with them, and they complied without incident, remaining outside the meeting area.

There were no disturbances or enforcement actions required during the event. The role of the OPP and NBPS were solely to maintain order and support the organizers’ request for a peaceful environment.
