LETHBRIDGE, AB. — There was another convoy of support for the Coutts Freedom truckers. This one took place Saturday afternoon. About 45 half ton trucks, cars and Suv’s, gathered at the Superstore on south Mayor Magrath Drive before heading out at noon.

A couple of those attending told an LNN reporter that they were simply showing support of the truckers at Coutts, another person noted they were tired of the restrictions.

One truck was designated as a drop-off point for donations for the Coutts truckers.

Most of the vehicles were draped in large Canadian flags, one was positioned upside down, while other vehicles sported Alberta and American flags. A few had signs stating “Freedom, Legalize Freedom, Full Send and End Mandates.”

The convoy, occasionally broken up by stops at red lights but, travelled north on Mayor Magrath, then turned west on Crowsnest Trail, made a turn south down Scenic Drive and returned to Mayor Magrath to make two more loops around the circuit. The group then went downtown along third Avenue.

LPS sent out several notices for residents to be aware of the convoy and the added traffic. The convoy, while noisy from honking horns, kept to the right hand lane.
