Davies has pleaded not guilty to all charges which include negligent driving; refuse to submit a breath test and refuse to submit a breath analysis prior offence.

She was also among 28 people charged that day under the coronavirus public health restrictions act for not giving a good reason for being outside.

Davies briefly appeared at Toronto Local Court on Tuesday, where her lawyer Kenneth Wilks told the court a brief of evidence had been served.

The matter was adjourned for later this month.
