Kelowna RCMP is aware of a "mega rally" planned for this weekend to fight public health measures.
Superintendent Kara Triance says police will be there.
"I want to take this opportunity right now to disuade anyone from attending this march, or from attending the area in protest of the march. People in Canada have a democratic right to lawful and peaceful protest, but your rights do not supercede public safety."
Triance says anyone not following public health regulations could face fines.
"It's these incidents that put our officers and public at risk for injury and possible infection. However, our officers will be present collecting evidence as part of our investigation and there to keep our public safe."
Triance says police are taking all lawful steps necessary to stop these actions.

These people don't represent Kelowna.
Those words from Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran about the ongoing protests by people who oppose public health orders.
"This is a relatively small group of people in comparison to the many thousands of Kelowna citizens who follow all public health orders." says Basran.
He's urging anyone planning to travel here for the mega rally to reconsider.
And adds that kind of disregard for the safety of others is not welcome here.
