Police Chief Calls for Destroying ID Card Information After G20
Bill Blair

The Toronto Police Service is opposing concerns that personal information incurred from people who live and work in the area around the G20 summit could be misused, with Chief Bill Blair calling to destroy those records two days after the meeting was concluded.

The summit, which is revealed to host world leaders at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from June 26-27, has called for tight security in the area.

Companies within the security perimeter are in the arrangements making process for employees to work off-site in the week in which the summit is slated to take place.

Workers and residents crossing via security checkpoints could face delays in reaching to their offices or homes as police will be verifying identification. Authorities have informed that traffic will be not being allowed to cross from Yonge Street west to Spadina and Queen Street south to the lakefront.

In addition, the Police have urged people who live and work in that area to get them registered for identification cards so they can be preventing facing delays through the checkpoints.

"The board will make sure the information is segregated, is protected, and is destroyed within a very short time," Alok Mukherjee, the Chair of the Police Services Board, told CBC News.
