A woman tied to a December anti-mask protest at Mapleview Mall in Burlington is facing a pair of charges, according to Halton Regional Police (HRPS).
Investigators say the offences are connected with an incident at a food court involving a group of about 20 people who entered against the direction of security.
“This group pushed past security and accessed the mall without wearing masks or showing proof of vaccination as required and requested by on-site security,” HRPS said in a release.
Police allege a security guard was assaulted during the demonstration.
