OTTAWA, Canada—Ottawa police established on Feb. 17 a limited access zone around the perimeter of the center of the Canadian capital that has been occupied by truckers, their rigs, and supporters for more than three weeks.

Under the recently introduced Emergencies Act, people are being refused entry to what has been designated as the “Secured Area,” which is within a two square mile area bounded by Bronson Avenue to the Canal, the Queensway to Parliament Hill.
