City staff say they plan to formally ask the provincial and federal governments to cover all costs linked to the local response to the so-called freedom convoy
The city’s non-police response cost $1.3 million, but the memo notes that amount doesn’t include the yet-to-be-determined cost to repair damaged infrastructure.
Police had originally thought the protesters would stay for the weekend and then move on, but it quickly became apparent that those involved had no plans to leave that swiftly. The situation roiled local residents, businesses and politicians. The police chief resigned and every police services board member eventually resigned their seats except for chair Coun. Diane Deans, who was removed by council.
