Two activists arrested on The Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR) on Nov 20, for staging a banner-unfurling protest near the Elgin St. police station were not charged says Cst. Katherine Larouche, media spokesperson for Ottawa Police Services.

Although TDOR was successful, with over 200 people marching together to Parliament Hill in support of Bill C389 (that would extend the Canadian Human Rights Code to include gender identity), the arrests highlighted the friction that divided participants over the starting points for the march.
