Canadians warned to be cautious about travelling to Hong Kong amid unrest
OTTAWA — The federal government is warning Canadians about travelling to Hong Kong amid massive protests and the Chinese military amassing on the border.
The travel advisory went up around 9:30 ET this morning telling Canadians to “exercise a high degree of caution in Hong Kong due to ongoing large-scale demonstrations.”
Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canadians in Hong Kong should contact the Canadian consulate there if they need help.
About 300,000 Canadians live in Hong Kong.
