REGINA - Rallies were held in communities across Canada on Saturday in support of the Freedom Convoy to Ottawa, including a large one in Regina.
Trucks travelled from throughout the province and ended up at the Saskatchewan legislature, where a crowd greeted them. Cloe Legault, a Grade 12 student at the Estevan Comprehensive School, was among the people from the Estevan area present, toting a Canadian flag and a sign that said “Canadian Heroes” with a drawing of a semi-trailer unit.
“I support the truckers. I think what they’re doing is really important for Canada as a whole, and it’s now inspired other countries as well,” she said.
She believes the work that truckers are doing is really important.
Lots of parents and children were in attendance and brought signs. It was good to see everyone come together.
Not only was she surprised with the number of people present, but she didn’t expect to see so many young people.
“There was definitely a lot more people than I initially thought. I thought lots of them would be in the convoy going through town. Just around me alone, there was probably about a thousand people, and we were just standing on the street, not by the legislative building,” said Legault.
Some of the young people were holding signs as well, and others held heart balloons to support the truckers.
Those who weren’t at the legislature were lining streets of the Queen City to support the truckers.
