“There are a number of significant dates in the next six weeks related to the convoy, or dates when convoys could be coming through, possibly on the way to Manitoba,” he said. Stubbs said he would support a reopening of Wellington Street to vehicle traffic if the plan is part of a broader examination of the all the security around the parliamentary precinct.Police say they "remain committed" to the safety and well-being of residents following the 'Freedom Convoy'. With several events coming up, including Winterlude in February, police say they will ensure residents remain safe.
