Hamilton police, with help of officers from around the GTA, dispersed a large crowd gathered in a parking lot on Saturday night for what police are calling an "impromptu car show." People brought about 500 cars to the parking lot at Cineplex Cinemas Ancaster, 771 Golf Links Road, for the event, he said. The" impromptu car show" began at about 6 p.m. and police cleared the parking lot by 10 p.m., he added. The crowd was well over new allowable limits for outdoor social gatherings set by the province to slow the spread of COVID-19. Earlier on Saturday, Premier Doug Ford had announced that the province was lowering the number of people allowed at social gatherings across Ontario.
