The last of three protesters convicted of mischief for his role in a border protest in southern Alberta has been given a 90-day conditional sentence to be served in the community.
Alex Van Herk will also perform 100 hours of community service and be on one year’s probation for his role in the Coutts blockade.
The blockade was held to protest COVID-19 rules.
It tied up traffic for days at the U.S. border in 2022.
