A B.C. legislator is proposing a new statutory holiday to commemorate the 2022 Freedom Convoy, which would coincide with the day provincial COVID-19 public health restrictions were lifted.

Tara Armstrong, one of two MLAs to form the OneBC Party, introduced the Freedom Convoy Recognition Act on Dec. 2. March 11 would become a statutory holiday if the bill is passed into law.
