After a slow start Friday evening, more demonstrators are expected to roll into Quebec City Saturday for what some are calling the “Woodstock for Freedom."
Quebec City police (SPVQ) say three arrests have been made so far.
Although a small crowd gathered before the National Assembly Friday night, the demonstration quickly fizzled out due to low attendance. But on Saturday around 11 a.m. heavy trucks, a school bus and tractors were parked on Rene-Levesque Blvd — the only place where said vehicles are permitted, according to the SPVQ.
Although more are expected to arrive Saturday, cold weather and heavy snow could impact crowd sizes. According to organizers, the weekend’s events are scheduled to include concerts, speeches, and even a meditation session.
Quebec City’s first round of protests took place a few weeks ago, with participants vowing to return for the weekend of Feb. 18.
