At least one person was arrested Thursday when anti-war activists marched through downtown Ottawa as a military arms fair continued inside the Ottawa Congress Centre.
The original plan for demonstrators was to try to shut down the exhibition at the Congress Centre.
The protesters argue that the exhibition, which was showing off the latest wares in security and technology, is for "war profiteers.''
The demonstration eventually brought about 50 activists outside a police station, where they were greeted by tactical and patrol officers.
Tactical officers, some wearing helmets and carrying high-powered guns, were inside the station overseeing the protest.
Police say there was one incident of a window being broken, leading to an arrest.
