Hundreds of Hells Angels Motorcycle Club members are expected to pass through Toronto on Thursday.
Toronto police told CP24 they do not yet know the exact time and place of the so-called “motorcycle procession.”
A media update that will take place today at 11:30 a.m. will provide more details on the timing of any roadblocks, as well as what the public can expect, they said.
This weekend, up to 1,000 Hells Angels are expected to ride their motorcycles through Whitby for the club’s national motorcycle race.
Durham Regional Police held a press conference on Monday to “make sure our community knows and provides accurate information.”
Officials said they expect the three-day event to be “no events.”
“If you see a large group of motorcycles, riders outside the law of the motorcycle club, do not interact, keep your distance. Try to stay out of the motorcycle line and be safe, ”OPP Det / Insp. Said Scott Wade.
The annual gathering is organized by the Brooklyn-based Hells Angels Motorcycle Club chapter, north of Whitby, to host Canada Run 2022 July 22-24.
People should expect a greater police presence in this area during the motorcycle race.
