Roughly 40 Sylvan Lakers oppose COVID-19 restrictions at council meeting
Roughly 40 people voiced their opposition to COVID-19 restrictions at Sylvan Lake’s council meeting this week, with a call made to RCMP on one of the members involved.
The group came into the council meeting without masks wanting to discuss their disapproval with COVID-19 restrictions such as the REP program in the town, particularly regarding access to the NexSource centre and other recreational facilities, impacting participation by parents and children.
Jordan Sinclair, a former town council candidate, was present at the meeting to discuss litter when he witnessed the event.
Sinclair recounted, the meeting was delayed by around 25 minutes as council asked for the group to put on a mask to enter council chambers.
