Paramedics told Global News shortly after the incident they had taken one person to a local hospital with minor injuries but said more people were being assessed.
Police said the spray was recovered and a man was taken into custody.
“If you have been sprayed, go to a well ventilated space, control your breathing, call 9-1-1 for paramedics,” police said.
