Man charged with arson after fireworks set off at Regina protest camp

REGINA — A 25-year-old man faces an arson charge after fireworks were discharged towards a protest camp outside the Saskatchewan legislature in Regina.

Police say officers were sent to Wascana Park early Sunday to investigate a disturbance at the Justice for Our Stolen Children camp.

It was reported that a man got out of a vehicle parked at the legislature and discharged a Roman candle, which shot multiple flammable projectiles at the camp of 14 teepees.

Police say they are not aware of any injuries or damage.
