Correctional Officers to carry a giant needle through the streets of Ottawa to demand that the government implement a solution that doesn't put the security of officers at risk.

Departure : Confederation Park, Laurier Ave W & Elgin St, Ottawa, ON K1P 5J2 at 11 AM
Arrival : Parliament Hill at around 12PM
