Blockade at Coutts border crossing officially ends
COUTTS, AB. — The protest at the Coutts border crossing is over, but its impact will have lasting effects.
The border is open in both directions again after more than two weeks of disruptions.
Protesters originally blocked the highway near Coutts and gathered near the town of Milk River to protest vaccine mandates and other COVID protocols at the end of January.
Those who were assembled say they decided to leave on Tuesday (Feb 15) after RCMP seized a cache of weapons and arrested 13 people on Monday.
