Charges against an Ontario pastor and his family for joining a rally in 2021, when the province’s COVID-19 gathering limits were in place, have been dropped, according to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).

In a March 9 news release, the Justice Centre said charges against Henry Hildebrandt, his son Herbert Hildebrandt, and his wife Martha Hildebrandt were all withdrawn by Crown prosecutors in Brantford on Feb. 7.
