Ukrainian Embassy: The rally started at 12 p.m., with the protesters slated to march to the Ukrainian Embassy, according to CTV. Rally organizer Anna Dombrovska told News Channel that members of the Ukrainian community from Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal were attending Wednesday's rally and Protesters gathered on Parliament Hill Wednesday to call for sanctions against the Ukrainian government, following an announcement from Ottawa that select government officials from that country are now barred from entering Canada. The rally comes one day after Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced that, effective immediately, key Ukrainian officials are banned from entering Canada in the wake of a violent crackdown on pro-democracy protesters.
