MARCHING AND THE LAW: PRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS

A pamphlet prepared by the Legal Committee Of the No One Is Illegal – March On Ottawa
Solidarity Across Borders

The following document has been prepared in order to give participants of the No One Is Illegal: March on Ottawa a general understanding of their rights and of the potential risks involved in participating in the march. If you have questions relating to your specific case we HIGHLY recommend that you speak with an experienced lawyer.
Note: This is a ROUGH GUIDE. We have only briefly canvassed infractions under the Criminal Code and some provisions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. We have not looked at possible municipal infractions or infractions under the Highway Safety Code.

It is important that everyone who marches is informed of his or her rights and risks. This pamphlet is only giving general information; if you have specific questions speak to a lawyer. People who are not lawyers may give you inaccurate information.
