A last minute Freedom Convoy was organized on Tues., Feb. 1. The convoy of more than 50 semis, followed by another large group of cars, left Embrun at 12:30 p.m. and drove through St. Albert, Crysler, Finch, Chesterville, Winchester, Morewood and Russell. The convoy was made up of some of the many trucks that were in Ottawa. The truckers wanted to show their appreciation for the support they have received from residents. A large number of well-wishers gathered in Chesterville to cheer the truckers on. Morin Photo
