Hundreds of Westman residents endured an extreme cold warning on Tuesday morning to come out and watch the Freedom Rally convoy drive through Brandon.

The convoy started passing by the intersection of 18th Street and the Trans-Canada Highway around 11:30 a.m. and was still going by the time the Sun left the scene around 12:15 p.m.

This group of truckers is hoping to reach Ottawa this upcoming weekend, with the aim of convincing the federal government to do away with COVID-19 vaccine mandates across the board.
