According to the article, quoted.
Access zones are in place at K-12 schools, and police can arrest or issue tickets to anyone found impeding access, disrupting or interfering with educational activities, or attempting to intimidate an individual within 20 metres (66 feet) of school property,” the province said in a release. Unquoted now...
What part of that is bad? Nothing says people can't protest but no one should interfere with kid's education. Doesn't say people can't protest, but they can't disrupt people who go in there is all which seems fair.
Edit: forgot to say I can be a bit dense and not realize things so if I'm missing a glaring fact or angle of this please do inform me.
You realize colleges and universities are schools, right?
You realize it only mentions k-12 in the article and bill right? So while they are schools I can't find mention of them in this act. Can you please show where it says Universites are included? It does not in the article or the link below.

It's vague and doesn't exclude them.
this doesnt prevent students or college protests, its to prevent outsiders protesting on school grounds ("think of the children" conservatives, Qnuts, religious or prolife groups etc etc)
