According to staff, the city will ensure the building “remains open and accessible, while continuing to be a safe space for the public and media.”
However, it notes the metal detection screening measure is “in response to the evolving security environment.”
The change also “aligns with similar security measures being implemented by other Canadian municipalities,” the city explains.
