The town said no permits had been issued for the H2Oi car rally, adding that “these types of gatherings are illegal.”
Attending would be a breach of both local bylaws and a court order.
The order allows Ontario Provincial Police to arrest anyone attending the event “with knowledge of the order and who is contravening or has contravened any part of the order.”
The justice who issued the injunctions said the rally could not “in any way” be considered a lawful protest.
