Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, central figures in the Freedom Convoy protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and health restrictions, will face trial in Ottawa starting next week.

Ms. Lich and Mr. Barber were two of the most prominent organizers of the February 2022 protest that saw hundreds of vehicles bring downtown Ottawa to a grinding halt. They will be the first members of the convoy organizing committee to stand trial beginning on Sept. 5.
