The Gananoque Police Service is advising residents that outlaw motorcycle gang members and their associates are expected to be in town on Friday, Nov. 13.
Police say they are working with the Ontario Provincial Police Organized Crime Enforcement Bureau to monitor the anticipated gathering and ensure public safety.
According to a media release, outlaw motorcycle gangs are among the criminal organizations involved in a range of illegal activities that can lead to harm and victimization in communities across Ontario.
Police note that similar events have taken place in Gananoque over the past several years with minimal disruption. Residents are being encouraged to contact police if they require assistance or observe suspicious activity.
The Gananoque Police Service says it has coordinated with several outside agencies and taken appropriate precautions to help ensure the safety and well-being of both residents and visitors throughout the event. No road closures or public safety concerns have been announced at this time.
