Hundreds of vehicles remain parked on Wellington Street and roads around Parliament Hill on day 18 of the protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other public health measures. The Rideau Centre, downtown businesses, Ottawa City Hall and roads remain closed.
Mayor Watson announced Sunday an agreement has been reached with the president of the Freedom Convoy to see hundreds of trucks move off residential streets and on to Wellington Street, between Elgin Street and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway.
Tamara Lich told the mayor that organizers would work hard over the weekend to "get buy in" from the truckers to move their vehicles.
"The Freedom Convoy Board agree with your request to reduce pressures on the residents and businesses in the city of Ottawa," Lich said. "We hope to start repositioning our trucks on Monday."
