Hamilton Police and Hamilton By-Law gave 14 tickets worth $880 each to 14 individuals who were protesting at the City Hall on Tuesday.

According to police, a group of 18 were assembled at around 5 pm, and were "not wearing masks or social distancing and refused to disperse when requested."

"Fourteen adults were issued tickets under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, which carries a fine of $880," said police.

None of the individuals who received tickets were homeless, say police.

Hamilton Police have laid 27 charges since Ontario announced its stay-at-home order.
