It has been three years since the blockade was formed at the Coutts Port of Entry to the United States.

The convoy was intended to tie up cross-border traffic between the two countries in protest of COVID rules and vaccine mandates, and lasted two weeks.

The Alberta RCMP issued a traffic advisory for the public regarding the event, between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m on Highway 4.
