Mayor Olivia Chow’s first annual skating party at Nathan Phillips Square was cut short on Sunday by demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Chow had invited residents to celebrate the new year, along with city councillors and members of the new Professional Women’s Hockey League, at an event with free hot chocolate. But as soon as Chow took to the microphone to welcome attendees, she was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters and was soon escorted off the ice.
