New legislation will establish 20-metre protected zones around hospitals, COVID-19 test and vaccination centres, and K-12 schools to prevent disruptive behaviour from affecting them.
The Province is introducing new legislation that will protect critical services such as health care and education, protecting those working in the facilities, as well as those who use them. Under the legislation, it will be an offence to prevent access to the facility, disrupt services or intimidate health-care workers, patients, students, teachers and other staff.
