A car rally at Wasaga Beach this weekend resulted in hundreds of calls and charges due to a large gathering of unruly motorists.
According to the OPP, the Huronia West Detachment had increased the number of on-duty officers in the region ahead of the unsanctioned event. However, that appears to have done little to dissuade people from attending.

Videos of the event that were posted online show huge crowds of people, with police surrounding them.
At one point, it even appears that an altercation occurs between officers and attendees.
