Anyone heading to Toronto City Hall will now have to go through enhanced security before getting let into the building.
As of Tuesday, visitors are required to go through added screening before entering the rotunda, including a walk-through metal detector.
People will also be asked to empty their pockets and will have their bags searched.
Meanwhile, visitors are limited to entering through the front doors and parking garage entrances.
